Microsoft has had it with spam
Microsoft has apparently decided to lead by doing, and ignore any incoming mail to Hotmail that doesn’t have SenderID. From the slashdot story: “Some also feel that Microsoft is trying to strong-arm the industry into the adoption of an incomplete and not accepted standard.” For a bit of background, SenderID is patented by Microsoft, so [...]

The most successful TV show that never aired
I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m assured it’s amazing… The unaired, shelved (?) pilot that belongs to DC and Warner Brothers, it’s Global Frequency (bittorrent download). It’s downloading now, and Warren Ellis is amazed at the response. I can only say thank you for all your kind words. (and occasional hysterical begging for more [...]

Time to trademark “Land of The Free”
Every so often there’s something that Freerepublic types and I can agree on… The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that local governments may take people’s homes and businesses against their will to make room for private developments such as shopping malls and hotels.

Nintendo with Linux/DS?
Well, there’s the 2.6 Linux kernel running on it, and now someone has made a touchscreen keyboard. All it needs now is access to the builtin wireless and a Konquerer port as far as I’m concerned. I’ll accept w3m until Konquerer or Mozilla is ready for prime time ;) More at DSLinux.org Install instructions in [...]

A Conservative MP by the name of Gurmant Grewel made national headlines with a tape of the ruling party offering to buy his allegiance in a very important House vote on the budget. Grewel, a member of the opposition, [...]

New book you should buy for your boss
Amazon is listing a book that I’ve had a chance to have input into… I’m not sure if Jeremy is crediting people in paper, so just take my word for it. Actually; I take that back; go buy his book when it’s released, or pre-order it now at your local book seller. I’m sure it [...]

Transit brings us all sorts
On the way home from the office tonight, I saw a guy get on the us with a shiney shiney yellow t-shirt… I thought it was a joke initially; it read “SCIENTOLOGY ™ VOLUNTEER MINISTER” in 2 inch high bold letters. The thing that really gave away the non-jokeness of the shirt was the little [...]

I’m a fan of t-shirts
06.16.05 | Permalink | 2 CommentsIf you read this directly from foo.ca then you’ve undoubtedly seen the ads along the right side of the page; I’m paid a percentage for sales made at those links, so if you’re looking for t-shirts, check them out. I try to keep the graphic ones to things that I’d buy myself. T-shirt vendors figure [...]

Prime Time Chicken
Over this past weekend I whipped up a new top graphic and did a bunch of re-working of the layout around here. The new graphic is my favorite header image here yet… For those of you who aren’t up on what’s hip in Vancouver Dining experiences that combine all the charm of the Downtown Eastside [...]

Sometimes I love LiveJournal…
Mostly it’s because toying with people amuses me on occassion… Today’s tool toy He posted a follow up to my comment about him being laden with teen angst, but I didn’t have it in the browser window to save when the post was deleted. Since I’m too lazy to edit the evil LiveJournal page source [...]
