  1. Week of rain + city worker strike= soon to be knee-high grass in city parks. Baseball outfields to urban prairie. #great Toronto veld of 09
  2. Laugh/cry. Reminds me most of enterprise software/IT released so often to hapless workforces everywhere: http://bit.ly/Gjteu dilbert, enjoy
  3. @brycej MS lent me another review machine (x300) even that is missing drivers for integrated webcam, fingerprint reader and 3G stick :|
  4. @brycej @tforster 7 was working fine. but July 1 forced to reinstall (no upgrade allowed) now errors, no networking, lots of missing drivers
  5. Wow. Win7 RC. What a great way to completely break a perfectly working PC. Was working fine under Win7beta! Now back to XP #grr #arg #MSFAIL
  6. @leisa I hear you. In the corporate world I find any big project is 90% communication 10% execution. Plus 9:1 projects proposed vs executed.
  7. Noticing blogspam comments getting smarter, context sensitive. At some point spammers may resort to thoughtful insightful commentary :o
  8. Hey just noticed google now has a browser-based pdf reader, wildly better/faster than acrobat. How do I get all pdf links to open this way?
  9. Gladwell slags Anderson, comment thread of economists slags Anderson, Gladwell. http://bit.ly/44HfFE #awesome #LOL
  10. Thinking about anthropological appeal of real-time media twitter, or radio. Maybe it tricks the brain into feeling we are less alone.
  11. Woo! #win7 to be available on USB sticks. I mean woo! assuming you have any interest in #win7 While, In other news, death to optical media!
  12. F#cking hell. Everyone of my "Toronto"SSC ultimate games this season is the hell out at downsview or worse ~20km 45min in traffic. #fail
  13. @AndreasSchaller Does it work well, I guess is the key question, and is it economical? Lots of past RFID ideas didn't meet those criteria.
  14. Damn would love to be watching bruce rile up the geeks again at #reboot11 Bruce's closing at SXSW this year: http://bit.ly/10chTo
  15. @AndreasSchaller what do you think of microSD solutions for NFC? (bypass the SIM, the carriers) do they work?
  16. @davidcrow the audi a3 is fun like that too. I'm not sure if it's basically the same car.
  17. Arg. MJ killed twitter. #jacko
  18. I think we can all agree that MJ clearly is dead. Or not dead. Or like in a coma and kinda practically dead. Or alive. One of these for sure
  19. It had to happen, but my mom just friended me on FB. Sigh, I guess when you are over 30, you are supposed to be okay with this.
  20. FYI: The main issue holding back NFC right now is that no @#$#! handset manufacturer will put NFC in a proper smart phone. yet.
