I don’t get it. There are two election campaigns going on right now (Canada and U.S.) which should be making for oodles of amusing web-based games satirizing politics but quite frankly, I’m finding the selection pretty bland.
Lets take Death By 1000 Cold Cuts for example. In the response to Tory Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz’s ill-timed [...]
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 [...]
Posting has been light lately, especially since this game called Grand Theft Auto IV came out…

Last night there was a beautiful lunar eclipse where the moon turned almost blood red.
Or so I heard.
My problem in getting to enjoy this phenomenon was two-fold. First [...]
Ottawa BarCamp 4 was my first time attending the “open source” conference and let me say, it was great being around such a large group of uber-geeks. I swear, I’ve never seen so many Moleskine notebooks in one place.
That said, I learned some scary stuff from the seminars.
Alec Saunders demonstrated how Facebook has [...]
Somehow I missed this…back in April, someone put up a post on the Ottawa Craigslist looking for folks who’ve been “racially discriminated by OC Transpo bus drivers.”
The author claims he’s doing a hidden camera investigation to show harassment and maltreatment by bus drivers.
Have I been missing something on my daily commute? Are black riders being [...]
So this is it, the Senators have made is farther than ever since Ottawa re-entered the NHL and obviously, the city’s gone insane. People are wandering around in jerseys and carrying tin-foil Stanley Cups. The best I’ve seen so far was the dude with a bright red mohawk.
But as someone whose younger years were spent [...]
