We all wanna do something good, just so long as it doesn't involve any actual effort or cost.

How To Spend More During the Downturn

This is "For Realz?!?" kind of news to me.

Step one, secure a deal.
Step two, break deal to renegotiate once prices start falling.
Step three, pay more despite falling prices.

3 ships to house 2010 Olympics security staff in new $76M deal ~viaCBC

I must be looking at this the wrong way because I can't make sense of it.

This makes me way too happy.

Best song ever for spring

Twittering Tuesday

OK, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for net-fads.

I'll hop on whatever private/public-alpha-beta-whatever service that promises to connect me to some sort of something or be the great leap towards a semantic web.

This year the big one for me has been twitter.

Less overwhelming than facebook, nobody has yet tried to sell me to a zombie via tiwtter.

They have, however, tried to sell my attention, buy my attention, or sell me someone else's attention.

This whole social-web scenario is overrun with marketers in search of monetization. Am I the only one finding that it's starting to drownd out real conversation?

By real I mean nonviralmarkety, like, an actual discussion rather than "RT @wannabefameous this great event/cause needs support. #followthursday #fameball #needsattention #noactualskillsotherthansmarm"

Sold Out or Smart Move?

I'm trying really hard not to think this is just a move to buy the Liberal party time to measure support before launching into another election.

ugh.

Protest Music

Not like Pete Seeger, I mean protest music being played.

Check it out:

Parents' group protests Britney Spears song

I think we should petition that the song not be played because it's vulgar, but because it's crap.

FFS.

For hiphop he's head and shoulders above the crowd.

Metallica is my new favourite band!

Oh Macleans, Oh You...

What happens when the most entitled generation ever hits a recession?

Macleans.ca - Dude, where’s my job?

I'm trying not to hate on Macleans, but they make it so hard.

The article is worth a read though, it'll make you laugh at the Boomers staring down the barrel of the recessiongun and doing their best to deflect attention.

Enjoy!

Confusing Citizenship Changes

Proposed federal regulations unveiled in mid-December seek to prevent children born to or adopted by Canadians outside the country from passing citizenship on to their children if they are also born abroad.

Citizenship changes could create 'inferior' citizens-via thevancouversun

Ok, but isn't this is the same government that has allowed children adopted/born abroad to automatically become citizens? It's just weird, I didn't know we were so freaked out about citizens of convenience that we would allow a sort of tier system. Shouldn't we be a bit more concerned with creating a class of stateless people than with the potential that some might not have the strongest loyalty to our flag and queen PM?
