Even The Computer Is Hot, originally uploaded by trvlvcr.
Many people have been noticing how hot the new MacBook Pro’s (Intel chips) get. I’ve been monitoring mine and hit a new record (as well as some […]

It is the basis of democracy, by which a community should decide what to do. It is the basis of science, by which […]

Morning View From My Hotel
Well it’s the end of a very busy week in London. It’s been great to get back out on the road. With my wrists broken/repairing for so long and so much going on at the office I sort of fell out of my usual traveling habits.
We’ve had an excellent […]
As if I didn’t have enough television inadequacies already… now this shows up.
Quite a few books on the go these days… one of them about to be added to the list is Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing…

Digital Rights Management - The coming collateral damage
“My advice ? Any and all digital content that you purchase and OWN, with any sort of copy protection, crack it, and make a backup copy for your own personal storage.”
There’s lots of reasons I haven’t been blogging these days. Mostly it’s because things have been so busy (and exciting) at work… of course my broken wrists (newly acquired) provide me with another reason I’m not blogging/typing much. That said… I’m going to at least try a bit more to get back […]
I’m at Incheon (Seoul, South Korea) airport waiting for my flight back to Vancouver where I’ll connect right away onward to Montreal. I’ll be there a couple of days then finally home again.
Have lots of thoughts about the trip and various blog items to rattle on about… hopefully some time to […]
Hello from Okpo, South Korea where I’m visiting Daewoo Shipbuilding. The scale is pretty amazing and the trip here was exhausting (two flights, a bus ride and a scary high speed 2 hour van drive at midnight)… but overall it’s going well. Hope to have some photos and commentary tomorrow. Spent a […]
One week at the Miraflores Locks (Panama Canal - 11 minute video). Hypnotic. (link c/o of BoingBoing).
Phony Theory, False Conflict (Washington Post)
“How ridiculous to make evolution the enemy of God. What could be more elegant, more simple, more brilliant, more economical, more creative, indeed more divine than a planet with millions of life forms, distinct and yet interactive, all ultimately derived from accumulated variations in a single double-stranded molecule, pliable and […]
A note for later, how to use my mac from anywhere via SSH.
Canada House Flags
Here’s a shot of the provincial and territorial flags at Canada House in Trafalgar Square. (I’m also just testing blogging from Flickr).
Stuck In Traffic
Left London last night and I’m now in Oslo for a few days. Here we’re stuck in traffic on a Friday evening in London… this trip was one of my busiest yet to London. This is the only time I put my feet up .
Some more photos here - […]
After a hectic few months where the company grew some more and I moved houses to a much quieter and convenient neighbourhood (and my first bedroom in five years without a fridge) I’ve decided to try and blog a bit more. I want to talk a bit more about the goings on at work […]
The final episode of Six Feet Under was brilliant. Great TV.
America’s premier guru of gadgets is doing it again
“He counted the number of skilled craftsmen - some 50 in all - putting the finishing touches on the place that would ultimately take a decade to complete. But Jobs was unabashed about calling his longtime friend out on a certain issue. Why were the workers using […]
