I don’t think this is quite what BioWare had in mind when they agreed to sponsor this page.

Just as significantly, though, was the fact that we generally listened to our opponents, and almost always understood where our opponents were coming from, even if we didn’t agree with them. I’ve tried to carry that philosophy with me through my political career, so I find myself in the odd position of having to confess that I genuinely cannot understand what Canada’s Liberals are so upset about regarding a recent speech by Prime Minister Harper. My 3 year-old son loves to play hide and seek. He’s not the most challenging opponent that I’ve played against, but he absolutely loves the game. My ridiculously compeitive nature means that I sometimes struggle to enjoy the game (and supress my urge to coach him), but my mother more than makes up for my shortcomings in this area. She is officially the hide-and-seek queen of our family, since she plays almost endlessly with our son – who absolutely loves the game. Last week he picked a terrible hiding spot (even by his standards) and she took a second to snap a quick photo. The Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) will wade this week into the muddy waters of net neutrality. The familiar voices of industry and privacy/tech advocates have started the predictable debate, but it seems that – in true Canadian fashion – both sides are missing the boat. Net neutrality is, at its heart, a debate about whether or not Internet service providers (ISPs) should be able to control its customers’ Internet usage, setting limits on how much of certain activities are allowed, and even prioritize sites or ads that come from sponsors of the ISP.The debate has raged in the US for a few years now (see the condensed version here) but has only heated up earnest recently in Canada. I stumbled across two, unrelated services that seem to be harbingers of one of the biggest tech trends in the next few years. ![]() Digsby - social media and communications convergence I’ve got accounts set up on most of these services, so people can pretty much reach me any way they want, now. Surprisingly, despite all this, my best efforts, and my abrasive personality, I still have people who want to call me. For that, I’ve got a home phone, a business phone, a personal cell phone and a work cell. |
