All kinds of crazy to pick from
This one is from a man who wrote a book on ‘Industrial Ethernet’ so he must know something about things like God. He’s also a self-proclaimed Google Adwords expert, and he has a dozen little micro sites that appear to be linked to adwords campaigns. I get some amusing religious Google ads pop up on [...]

Calgary Harbour
Tania found the following choice piece of clueless commentary among the protectionist responses to the revitalization plans that are being considered for Halifax. Protect the harbour views at all costs. Protect harbour views whenever possible – this is what makes Halifax stand out from the other cities – you can’t see the harbour in Edmonton [...]

Caution; I can fight back
I’m not as afraid of cars or the people that drive them as I likely should be. When I’m in a pedestrian crossing with a green light, a nice fresh light, and other people, do not come anywhere near me. If you push your metric ton of metal into a crosswalk, hoping to beat the [...]

I’ve won a million dollars; again.
I entered a phone number I didn’t recognize into Google and hit search, as I tend to do when I get a phone call from an area code I don’t recognize. My call came from 519-660-8031, which seems to be well represented online, mostly telling variations of the same tale. Sometimes when you pick up [...]

They heard that there are viruses on the internet
Discriminating? Against the crazy, perhaps, but not against the allergic. If they were to change their action to state that the city was discriminating against the mentally unstable, then they might have a case. They’re also discriminating against the blind by painting the building; the blind can’t appreciate the subtle colour contrasts of the trim. [...]

Better than the original
Why did nobody tell me of Devo’s cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Head Like A Hole? I prefer its campy creepiness to Trent’s teenage angstiness. I think it’s worth the overhead of the other, relatively uninspired covers it’s shared CD space with, though you can always get just that one track from some electronic source…

Let the punishment fit the crime
From the “punishment fits the crime” department, two men are facing two years in jail if convicted of “crimes against nature” in the form of sodomy. I’m waiting for the story about the guy charged with possession of marijuana being provided with a two-year supply and being forced to smoke it… “Raleigh police are charging [...]

Bacterial Deconstruction Crew
Convincing plastic bags to self-destruct in a matter of weeks. Kid breeds a vat of bacteria that find nothing tastier than polyethelene plastic bags you collect at your local grocery store. Next, Burd tested his strains’ effectiveness at different temperatures, concentrations and with the addition of sodium acetate as a ready source of carbon to [...]

Some Real Primates In Action
There was a story the other day in what passes for a newspaper in Halifax. I’d link to it, but the Chronicle Herald has one of the worst web pages I’ve ever seen. They even have RSS feeds, though even the links from those become useless after about 24 hours; there must be big money [...]
