So, it seems all those folks who’ve been waiting a year with bated breath for Rogers to unleash Apple’s iPhone are not only disappointed, they’re downright angry.
Upon discovering that the base plan includes only 150 daytime minutes and 400 megabytes of monthly data on this data hungry monster, some have taken to protest at [...]

The Rogers iPhone SNAFU
iotum launches Calliflower
Really cool stuff is happening in Ottawa’s tech sector right now and this week’s big announcement is iotum’s launch of Calliflower, a web-based service for managing conference calls.
iotum has made in a name for itself in the voice-over-Internet-protocol space over the past year with their FREE Conference Calls app for Facebook, though CEO Alec [...]
Finally! A real data plan from Rogers!
Wireless data has been an absolute joke in Canada for years with early plans starting at 500 kilobytes of data per month (what on earth can someone do with 500k?!?)
As time wore on, Canada’s wireless providers started to get with the program, very slowly, but still not giving us for $20 per month for unlimited [...]
Is online video really a threat?
I am now wondering just how much of a threat online video really is to Hollywood movies and television studios and whatnot. Yesterday, I got put on very sudden house-sitting duty as a friend of mine needed to leave and someone had to hang around her place to let an electrician in.
Well, as compensation, [...]

Another linked video since I’ve been too lazy to write anything in here…good stuff though:
A disgusting act of cowardice
If I may, I need to step away from my usual ramblings about technology and self-employment to rant about something that truly makes me sick.
Living in downtown Ottawa, the ByWard Market is frequent stop for me. Walking through, it’s hard not to notice Craazy Dave.
Dave’s “home” is a milk crate behind the Rideau [...]
Xobni - a day late, a buck short for me

It’s a Microsoft Outlook extension that claims to find the “hidden social network” in your e-mails. It’s functions do look really cool. For example, when you click the profile of someone you e-mail regularly, it’ll show things like [...]
Coworking in Ottawa - The Code Factory
Posting has been light lately, especially since this game called Grand Theft Auto IV came out…
But I’ll digress briefly to write about coworking. It’s a nifty concept where freelancers and small companies gain a full-on office environment by sharing the cost of a workspace. It also helps deal with the isolation of being a lone [...]
I think the spammers have finally invaded Facebook
Facebook is looking a little more like MySpace to me this week. In the past few days, I’ve been fending off “friend” requests from women in the U.S. I’ve never heard of. They also seem far more attractive than any woman that would be likely to want to randomly talk to me. So, Internet [...]
An Engineer’s Guide to Cats
I rarely feel need to go crazy posting videos like most of my colleagues, but An Engineer’s Guide to Cats must be shared.
For the record, I’ve used the “Corporal Cuddling” form of discipline for years.
