CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:43:41 PDT
CBC: It’s a “bungle”! No it’s a “blunder”! Hang on: it’s a “gaffe”! It ain’t good, that’s for sure! Just yesterday I had to update my Monday blog entry because the fair and balanced state-owned CBC Newsworld kept changing its mind about the Conservative government’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maxime Bernier, and how to officially describe his, um, verbal malfunction. On Monday I showed you how Canada’s cable news networks—the state-owned one and the citizen-owned one against which t

Total body relaxation from Dainichi

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 06:59:02 PDT
With all of its capacity for destruction, it is nice to see an example of technology put entirely to good, like this “Auto Healther” Massage Bed from Dainichi. Short of being swathed in furs, this has to be the most luxurious total body massage contraption we’ve seen, or at least the most high-tech. In this case, total body means a simultaneous whole body massage as several rollers work your muscles from head to foot, at a speed, manner, and pressure specifically designed for each section of

What matters more, people or process?

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:27:55 PDT
One of the best posts I have seen in a while. Cory Fox on what matters more, people or process: It’s a good question. I saw good code at places with crappy practices. And I saw crappy code at places with good practices. But in almost all of the places, I saw code that was on par with the motivation of the teams in place. In other words, teams that were excited about what they were doing, and kept up with trends, etc, often had code they were proud of. Teams that liked their job, but basicall

FBI email - Bush signed exec order authorizing torture

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:38:29 PDT
President George W. Bush’s comment to ABC News -- that he approved discussions that his top aides held about harsh interrogation techniques -- adds credence to claims from senior FBI agents in Iraq in 2004 that Bush had signed an executive order approving the use of military dogs, sleep deprivation and other tactics to intimidate Iraqi detainees.

Public: Don't Mess With My Flight Plans

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:58:25 PDT
"Pretty soon we'll have to fly naked!" The mass media rapidly embraced the UK terror storyline fed to them. The BBC, CNN, CBC Newsworld and other all-news broadcasters covered scarcely anything but the narrowly averted catastrophe throughout the day. Funny thing, but the general public wasn't buying it. The reaction was surprisingly cynical...

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:32:45 PDT
Submitted by: Chalibaeus The idea is this: track trends for given keywords (or keywords on a given web of pages) in relation to how densely websites that link together contain that keyword. Use this to create a keyword "gravity" table and use more highly-occurring keywords as "context keywords" for each other. Track context-linked keywords in relation to each other to predict niche trends, auction trends, and offer entrepreneurs acute insight on how to improve their search statistics. Thi

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:31:16 PDT
This weekend’s Life 3.0 column: These days, it seems harder to avoid “green” products than it is to find them. Everything from construction material to accessories (a biodegradable umbrella) and from automobiles to pet products makes being an eco-friendly consumer almost as easy as finding a Dunkin Donuts in the Capital Region. Earth Day has been around for nearly 40 years — since 1970 — but the real environmental push has seemed to surge in recent years. The Toyota Prius hit the U.S. in 200

Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run”

Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run” This morning, the state-run, state-owned CBC Newsworld state-media employed news anchor, Suhana Meharchand, referred to Zimbabwe’s “state-run news media” and how they are accusing the political opposition of treason. Canada’s state-owned, state-run CBC never refers to itself that way! Now.

A HANDY TEST OF HOW BELTWAY YOU ARE:

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:54:18 PDT
McCain overcomes rank-and-file concerns (DAVID PAUL KUHN, 4/20/08, Politico) Although John McCain's candidacy is still viewed with suspicion by many conservative leaders, polling suggests he has overcome the concerns of rank-and-file conservatives: McCain isn't viewed more unfavorably by conservative voters today than George W. Bush was at this point in the 2000 election cycle. In the latest CBS News/New York Times poll, 18 percent of conservatives said they have an unfavorable view of McCain

Is Dislocating Technology a Change Agent?

Until recently Hans Lodder thought that dislocating technology was something used in wars. But Gartner uses the term for IT technology that enables a completely different and better approach for business processes. If you combine the Gartner technology examples with the MacKinsey business trends for 2008 then it really takes off!

Of Economic Woes, Fears, And Hunger

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:49:51 PDT
In catching up on economic news this week, I've noticed a trend toward real world reports. It's as though a few in the media have awakened to the fact that a large segment of our population is struggling to just get by -- which for regular folks isn't exactly news, but it's a welcome change from the usual indifference.

Sunday Bookchat

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:53:11 PDT
We all know the drill. Some ostensibly left-wing figure — think Christopher Hitchens or Martin Amis — loudly announces he’s given up his liberal ways and goes flouncing off to the right side of the aisle, where his work becomes steadily crankier and less interesting. (David Mamet has just begun this process; several weeks ago he published a column titled “Why I Am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal,” a title that proved only half right.) And then there is former Republican strategist Kevin Philli

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li
