Whoa - Peter Mansbridge looks the same in 1993 as now….
This is the video where the CBC introduces its viewers to the new phenomen, the Internet…..

“A modulated anarchy”

As part of the Personal Finance Tip Contest I am going to write about my experiment with giving up credit cards and going to an all-cash basis for my life.
Even considering this idea makes me feel nervous! Why should that be? Are credit cards so essential to my daily existence? These are […]

Dumb Little Man has some great tips on the one habit you simply must master - leaving your work and truly being present at home. How to Leave Work at Work:
“Questions first: When you get home, immediately ask how your spouse’s day went (AND LISTEN). Many times their response is enough to get you […]

Rands has a great essay detailing how he evaluates a resume. You’re not going to like it (he spends less than 30 seconds on it) but you better read it cause from my experience his approach is one of the more detailed ones:
Take time to write your resume for a human. You need to […]

The Oscar announcer just said Infernal Affairs was a Japanese movie, but we all know it was from Hong Kong…. sheesh

It must feel really good….

Does ‘24′ encourage US interrogators to ‘torture’ detainees?:
“Last November Mr. Surnow and the story’s creative staff were visited by a brigadier general and three top military and FBI interrogators, as well as human rights groups, who told them that the show’s graphic depictions of the torture of suspects was ‘hurting efforts to train recruits in […]

Violent Acres on Dining Out:
“If you are the server…

Collect my payment promptly. If I’ve asked for my check, it means that I’m ready to leave. I can not stand it when servers give me my check and then disappear for long periods of time without collecting my payment. For the life of me, I do […]

I have been following John Chow’s blog with some fascination.
This is a relatively new blog, but John has set out with dogged determination to build readership and links (and revenue) in every way possible and has been wildly successful. The blog covers a wide range of topics but mostly focuses on SEO, link building, […]

I’ve been starting (slowly, slowly) to learn Japanese. Learning Japanese is like learning any big, new life skill. You have to do a little bit every day, every week, basically for years.
The only way to get there is to take a Japanese immersion class, but some way to study at home is critical […]

Aww geez, even Apple’s Save The Date notifications are cool….

Mark has a good experience with Apple Support:
“Having some experience calling support lines I had seated myself in a comfy chair with some snacks in preparation for the 45 minute wait that I usually get when I call the likes of Bell Canada or Rogers and was bracing myself for the litany of voice mail […]

CrossingWallStreet:
“Thanks to the YouTube merger, Shannon Hermes now owns $1.3 million in Google stock. How did she get the money? Well, Shannon didn’t start the company. Nor is she a venture capitalist.
She’s YouTube’s receptionist.

Yes! I have been ranting for years that Wind Chill is the most ridiculous, meaningless number reported as part of the weather. The air outside is -17 degrees. Period.
It can’t feel like -30. It is what it is, -17.
Now Slate is backing me up in this wind-chill expose:
The language of “equivalent […]

Economists say that giving gifts, other than cash, is a losing proposition as you can never give a gift that will be worth more to the receiver than what he would buy for himself. The NYT uses Valentine’s day, and the pressure that day brings for amorous gift-givers everywhere, to examine gift-giving as an […]

The infamous Henry Blodget writes about CNBC’s Jim Cramer:
“My initial belief was that the former hedge-fund manager, host of CNBC’s hit show Mad Money, and author of several books about speculating was perhaps the worst thing to happen to the financial security of average Americans since the crumbling of the Social Security system.”

Dinosaur Flatulence???

AN OPEN LETTER TO HOBBYISTS
February 3, 1976
By William Henry Gates III
An Open Letter to Hobbyists
To me, the most critical thing in the hobby market right now is the lack of good software courses, books and software itself. Without good software and an owner who understands programming, a hobby computer is wasted. Will quality software be […]

Someone cut up the Windows Vista poster at Finch station to make their own open source statement:

Via Tribe.ca

BlogTO:
“Deborah Lamont decided that Nicaraguan refugee Alvaro Antonio Orozco simply isn’t gay enough to stay in Toronto, and should get the boot. And just how did this brilliant mind come to the obvious conclusion? It seems you have to get laid before your 21st birthday.”

This was the captcha I got for some sign-up page. Are the gods telling me something?

Apple’s developer conference, WWDC will be June 11-15, 2007

Steve Jobs admits what everyone already knows. DRM is useless:
“The third alternative is to abolish DRMs entirely. Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable […]
