Words that should be banned from blogging

Posted on January 25, 2008
I’m getting tired of reading “it will be interesting to see …” as a signal of the author’s transition to crystal-balling. OK, everyone uses says it, me included. Can we have some creativity now, please?

Who?s the bigger victim?

Posted on January 24, 2008
This is a truly creepy aspect of the Democratic race - Clinton and Obama each working furiously to appear to be the victim of the other. We are not too stupid to see it for what it is.

It?s Over for Giuliani

Posted on January 24, 2008
This isn’t news, of course. But it does seem time to call it for what it is - a thankfully not-that-narrow escape.

Seeking Canadian Lawyers Who Use a Mac

Posted on January 24, 2008
If you’re a Canadian lawyer who uses a Mac in your practice, I’d like to hear from you - please drop me a note at rob [at] robhyndman.com or leave a comment on this post. Thanks!

?Troop ultimatum to NATO?

Posted on January 23, 2008
At this point it strikes me as almost negligent - it’s certainly foolish - to suggest that adding 1,000 more troops is going to make a difference. And the idea that this Government - or any Government, for that matter - isn’t going to “sugercoat” what’s happening in Afghanistan, is simply juvenile, self-serving [...

No Mountain High Enough, No Regulator Smart Enough

Posted on January 23, 2008
From the NYT: “Many investors and strategists said Wednesday that they saw the Federal Reserve chairman Ben S. Bernanke?s bold move as a sign that the economic outlook for the United States might be even worse than anticipated.”

?How would Chris Matthews sound if he talked to men like he talks to women??

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry.

?Meet the heavy hitters in Ottawa?

Posted on January 22, 2008
It’s interesting that the media glamourizes (”heavy hitters”) people who, effectively, work to give their clients undeserved access to political power, particularly in an age when lobbying is wreaking such spectacular damage on the US political process...

Founders and Funders Toronto 1.0 Was a Blast

Posted on January 22, 2008
David and Jevon deserve serious props for doing a great job last night and bringing us a much-needed opportunity to get together and meet one another. If I didn’t say hello last night it was only because there was so much interesting conversation happening that there simply wasn’t the time...

I Have a Dream

God forbid I should ever nod off in public, but I still think this is pretty funny.

Mandated ISP Filtering- the Canadian Solution

Posted on January 22, 2008
Michael has the details on the Canadian copyright lobby wish list, which includes nationwide 7 x 24 surveillance on what you’re doing on the interweb. That’s right, they want YOU. It is, of course, a perfectly Canadian solution: when one’s business model begins an inexorable slide towards obsolescence, enlist the Government to rescue [...

?We?re watching the race from the sideline?

Posted on January 21, 2008
Go read Will’s rant on StartupNorth about the slow pace of tech business here in Canada. Now.

?Campaign Reporting in Under 140 Taps?

Posted on January 21, 2008
The NYT has built a story around the John Dickerson tweet about Bill O’Reilly that also caught my eye about two weeks ago.

Is ?Austin? in Canada?

Posted on January 20, 2008
Sounds like Guy from Austin knows a thing or two about living with broadband in Canada.

?Packet Death? and the Celphone Novel

Posted on January 20, 2008
Amazing what people will do with technology if they can afford to use it. A cautionary tale?

I love not being insulted by my TV

Posted on January 19, 2008
That’s what I think about The Wire, in a nutshell. It’s far too rare that one discovers TV designed for anything other than imbecilification. This show is a revelation.

?Reality-based editorials?

Posted on January 19, 2008
I am really enjoying Warren Kinsella’s blog these days.

Tripharbour Launches

Posted on January 19, 2008
It’s often said that the key ingredient to a successful startup is the quality of the team. Well, that’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about the coming launch of my friend Stuart’s new venture, Tripharbour. Stuart’s simply bonkers about travel - he lives, eats, breathes and now sets sail in it [...

iTunes Movie Rentals in Canada

Posted on January 16, 2008
I can’t help but wonder how, when iTunes with Apple’s new movie rentals launches in Canada (let’s hope that’s not an “if”), the broadband providers are going to approach their customers who are heavy users - as I certainly will be...

?A New Copyright Pledge?

Posted on January 15, 2008
Michael has published a new copyright pledge to protect fair dealing.

CrunchGear on the MacBook Air: Right for the Wrong Reasons

Posted on January 15, 2008
It’s bizarre to see Techmeme headlined by a post on the new MacBook Air that is wrong about everything, but at the same time fails to mention the one problem that actually does make the Air a non-starter for any serious user - the lack of a user-replaceable battery...

Free Speech in Canada

Posted on January 14, 2008
I haven’t spent much time focusing on the case against Ezra Levant for publishing anti-Islam cartoons, but enough to know I much prefer Glenn Greenwald’s arguments to Warren Kinsella’s. Mainly for these reasons.

Michelle Obama is Telling Fairy Tales

Posted on January 14, 2008
Rachel is right - again. I have to say I’m terribly disappointed in the Obama campaign. Not only for lying, but also for portraying itself as a victim. It’s a remarkably aggressive way for Senator Obama to behave. Update: And here, a disingenuous attempt to appear to not be fanning the [...
