{EAV:52ec3c20db5c75a7} So many things happening, so few details shared with the masses. I’m going to be consolodating a number of my ‘online’ things into a few places. Google+, This blog, and my blog at the RASC will hold most everything. Tumblr is a pain, and I’ve got too many accounts etc. to manage. A number [...]
What gives #Netflix? You guys are doing well up here. You’re taking many providers to task on their billing, service and bandwidth BS. And then, when you produce a product that will MAKE telco’s money – hello streaming over wireless – you give me this? I’m confused. My device is in the list of ‘compatible’ [...]
Today was a great day. Aside from the fact that I’m still desperately congested from this stupid head cold, I must say – today was fantastic. What a great opportunity I was offered today. A good friend, David Papp is involved with a new project called ‘Quexa life 1.0′ – a seminar style session of [...]

The CRTC (Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission) has been appointed by the [...]

I bought an iPhone 3G from a contact on Twitter (thanks @paulney!) and have been running it jailbroken as an iPod (with speakers/mic) ever since. For the last 4 years I’ve carried a Blackberry through my office. I’ve learned a few things being [...]

What I question however is the grandstanding of a hollywood movie mogul in my backyard, while his backyard produces more carbon, and burns more fossil fuel [...]
When gaming and social media collide, the ramifications can be amazing. Or terrifying. As game-lord Blizzard found out, the masses love and hate the theory, but in the end in any arena where ego can be built or bruised, those playing with real names are the first at risk.

So – we’ve been subscribers of that beautifully marketed communications giant for a long time. Well over a dozen years. Internet, and phone.
