Mike DeWolfe : The Daily Edition

I was looking for a Computer Master link. (I thought it was computermaster.com -- nope, that's a 404 page). I found a link via Google: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/app /ccc/search/navigate.do ?language=eng&portal=1&estblmnt No=123456271377&profile =completeProfile Same deal. Maybe they should send some of their people out for a course or something :) Update: They are kaput. Tee hee. At least that means some people out there will have more time and more money but the same level of training. In other words, these technical colleges teach you almost NOTHING.

The City of Victoria is good at making the city a tourist mecca . One of their greatest feats is pushing undesirables out of their downtown and into our neighbourhood. Junkies use our park to shoot up. They like to drop by our townhouse complex as well. While the mayor used to be able to reached via mayor@city.victoria.bc.ca , they have since changed the point of contact on the website to a web form . There is also a general inquiries form . And this is a link to the police's mail form . And, because they don't do anything unless urged to do so, here is the news address of the "New" VI and the address for contacting the NewsGroup .

I love the idea of theremins. But this site , has samples that would send Greenpeace on a Jihad.

I watched Rick Santorum on the Daily Show schilling his new book, "A Family Plan." It pisses me off that he's devoted a a chunk of a book to the concept that Gay marriage is wrong. More than that, it pisses me off that we have such a dysfunctional model of legislature that two people couldn't walk up to the marriage commissioner and say "Marry Away!" It took a long drawn out debate and moral contest. The legality is still in jeopardy. If Stephen Harper gets to goosestep his way into the Prime Minister's residence, he may rescend the legislation. It pissed me off especially because of so much effort was put forth to address an issue that concerned so few. Here's my math on Gay marriage: 10% of the population is Gay. 60% of the Gay population want to get married. That means at 6% of the population might want to marry someone who has the same plumbing. I think 60% is actually a stretch. I look at my straight friends. A lot of them do not want to get ma...

This is wild : Cell phones know whom you called and which calls you dodged, but they can also record where you went, how much sleep you got and predict what you're going to do next. At least, these are the capabilities of 100 customized phones given to students and employees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- and they may be coming soon to your cell phone. The phones were part of a Ph.D. project by MIT Media Lab researcher Nathan Eagle, who handed out the devices as a way to document the lives of students and employees of MIT, ranging from first-year undergrads and MBA students to Media Lab employees and professors. Eagle's Reality Mining project logged 350,000 hours of data over nine months about the location, proximity, activity and communication of volunteers, and was quickly able to guess whether two people were friends or just co-workers. It also found that MBA students actually do spend $45,000 a year to build monster Rolodexes, and that first-year co...

I don't know if I could be more anti-union. Nevertheless, Telus has PISSED me off. Telus has blocked access to the " Voices For Change " website. I guess they will have to also block the Internet Archives . Of course, they will. It's their Internet. You only pay for access. Update: The Open Net Initiative has published a list of blocked sites that Telus has shut out in their zeal to control the medium. If you are a Telus subscriber and you can't to one of these sites, maybe you should call Telus and complain . Maybe make one complaint per domain. Here is the list below: <a>http://www.opennetinitiative.net/bulletins/010/telus_blocked.txt</a>

Russian spammer found beaten to death! Hooray! Here's an update of an old joke: Q : What do you call 500 spammers torn to shreds by dull-bladed lawn mowers and sprinkled onto the ocean surface? A : A good start.
