SMS Google Calendar
A little while ago I wrote about discovering this mashup of pocketmod and google calendar that rocked my disorganized world. I liked it a lot, but it took me a few days to realize my texted in appointments weren't being input into the calendar.

Media Insiders Blogging
Earlier today I posted a link to Chez's blog and his story about being fired for blogging. I want to follow that up with a little tie-in to media blogging/ers north of the border.
Someone inside the CBC blogs under the name Ouimet. A recent posting on their blog The Tea Makers involving the president & CEO of the CBC has raised the issue of anonymity or pseudonymity and blogging from the inside.
The fantastic radio program Search Engine had both Ouimet and Hubert Lacroix on to discuss the post and anonymity online.
Ouimet was/is aware that there is danger in the public airing of grievances and sees anonymity or the other identity as a protective measure and uses that protection to deal with sensitive issues.
I wish Chez the best because he didn't deserve to be tossed because of his blog. One of the many aspects to great journalism is the ability to check that stuff at the door, something at which I do not excel.
I'm not entirely surprised that CNN would fire someone for blogging, but I am disappointed. It's stuff like this that keeps people like Ouimet behind the magical curtain, and a sign that we have a ways to go before traditional media opens up in the way we (at least I) wish they would.
I'd also like to shout out to one of my all-time favourite insider blogger's blogs, Todd Maffin's Inside the CBC.
Bloggin about blogging is not something I aim to do often, so I apologize for getting all meta on you, but what with Northern Voice coming up in one more sleep, a few Sesame Streets, and a Mr. Dressup away... well it happens.

Caryn Drexl Photography
I love finding photographers that I can recognize by their work. It's harder than you'd think, and usually when I do find one they are already so well established that their prints are priced right out of my reach. But not today!
The other day I wandered past a colleague's office and she had some amazing photos up on her laptop. They turned out to be the work of Caryn Drexl.
Her work has a spooky element and is technically solid. What really impressed me was regardless of subject matter her works seems to fit together somehow. She's developing a style or a visual language, and that's one of the hardest things to do as a photographer. Almost anyone can learn the nuts and bolts of exposure and depth of field, but one of the things that elevates these copies of life to artwork is the photographer's ability to communicate with a distinct visual language.
Anyway, head on over and have a look. Great prints for under fifty blades - you can't go wrong.

Beb(r)o(ken)
I find Bebo to be a bit of an odd concoction. It feels a lot like myspace and it loads slower than molasses in January, yet it's wildly popular. At least I've read it's wildly popular, from what I've seen in my brief week or so as a member it's kind of abandoned.
Trying to e-pimp my profile has been an exercise in futility. Most of the stuff I would want to do I can do better elsewhere. I'm really at a loss as to why the heck someone would choose bebo as their platform of choice.
I'm going to hang in there and keep playing around with the site. I hope this screen shot is more than just a pr'd 404.

Recalls, Advisories, and a great local blog
Miss604 writes and produces all kinds of stuff about Vancouver. She's got an intersting blog, a some podcasts that are definitely worth a subscribe-to-this-rss-feed.
In her latest linkfest she pointed out the CBC Recalls and Advisories page, which is an interesting read and worthy of a sub as well.
There's also recalls.gov, Transport Canada's Vehicle Recall Database, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's index of food recalls.
I was going to post about Marketplace's email recall service but their website is terribly out of date.

Free Recyclable Personal Organizer
I'm not always the most organized person. I make lists and set goals like the rest of us, but sometimes those lists get lost, just like my keys are right now. I know they're around here somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
Being the computer dork that I am I've owned a palm and a Sony PDA, but the batteries die, the little pen-thing disappears, and, really, tetris is better on the Gameboy anyway.
Sure, sure, day timers exist but they're bulky and suck to carry around. I've seen people who use them effectively, but I've never actually been that person. Who wants to bother with some ring-binder pile of crap anyway when you can never find one with the right blend of calendar/notespace/addresses.
Enter the PocketMod. I found out about this via hackcollege and it's super handy when paired with the paperless wonder that is Google calendar. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks now but I've noticed the difference in my work and home life already.
I don't subscribe to any concrete organizational strategy, but I do subscribe to unlimited text messages. So I've registered my mobile with Google, I text important stuff into my calendar from wherever I am, and I make notes and copy deadlines and addresses into my pocketmod.
It is an ever-so-dope solution.

Jill Barber via B(oot)log
Jill Barber writes and plays beautiful music. I don't have the words today to really do her justice, but thanks to the fantastic B(oot)log there is a live performance available for your skiving pleasure.
Jill Barber, The Grad Club, Kingston, 30 March 2007
26 tracks of win. I especially like the Moon River cover because I've been learning to fast-fast-slow and slow-slow-fast-fast to that song for the last few weeks and it's nice to hear a heartfelt version without any midi.

His designs are fun, and I recommend you spend a few minutes putting off work to check out a couple of videos with Basco5 over at joystick. Check down the left side for the set of 3 videos.
He did a dope as hell set of poles for joystick.
I'm pretty excited to be going to Northern Voice this year. I was really happy to find out that event sponsor Mt. Lehman Credit Union hired Basco5 to do posters for the event. I'm a fan of his work, credit unions, and blogging, so it all fits together nicely.

A+++ Great Post, Would Read Again
BBC NEWS -- EBay to ban negative seller views
We've been unloading our unwanted or unworn, um, wares, on Ebay. Last I checked I had an underwhelming 7+ feedback rating. It's not that I'm a bad ebayer, I just don't ebay often.
Do I suffer from feedback envy or angst? No, but it doesn't surprise me that Ebay is looking to remove sellers' ability to leave negative feedback on buyers. Feedback on Ebay has been gamed by way too many people for way too long. People have held back payment or delivery until positive feedback is left, cheated by running multiple accounts, even bought and sold feedback itself.
I for one am glad to see it go, as I never really trusted it in the first place. It was a poor foundation upon which to build business relationships.

Blockbusters?
I'm down with Iron Man, but can it actually be considered a "Summer Blockbuster" before it hits the screen?
I mean, sure if it makes a ton of money (over 100 million US on release) then it's a blockbuster. Right now though it's really just Jon Favreau's Iron Man.
Also, Summer starts on the solstice doesn't it?
Sorry filmschoolrejects.com I've had a long day. Thanks for the photos though, I sincerely hope Iron Man is more fantastic (4) than the last marvel movie I watched. It was a bowl of fantastic (4) suck.
Earlier this evening we brought you the Iron Man Super Bowl TV Spot. Now, thanks to our friends at /Film, we have 13 brand new photos from Jon Favreau’s upcoming Summer blockbuster for your viewing pleasure.New Iron Man Photos Hit the Web! - Film School Rejects

stopping junkmail
So I heard a nice lady advertising, or maybe it was just an interview, a red dot campaign to reduce junkmail. I checked out the red dot website and found out about canada post's Consumers Choice Program. It's pretty much impossible to find out how to sign up, but by searching through canada post's documents aimed at advertisers I found this:
So now I've got to figure out what a self-produced notice is, and how to get our friendly neighborhood condo manager and friendly neighborhood neighbors to not tear off my "no junk mail" stickies.
I've printed the red dot letter to Canada post and I'll send that in, I just find it really surprising that Canada Post doesn't make this stuff a little easier to find out about. The only information as far as I can find is mentions like the quote above, buried in business customer guides.
1.5 Consumers’ ChoiceCanada Post - Unaddressed Admail™
Customers can target more effectively by respecting the wishes of consumers who indicate, through a self-produced notice on their mailbox or mail receptacle, that they do not wish to receive unaddressed material. The only exemptions are materials from Elections Canada and Provincial Chief Electoral Officers, House of Commons mailings, municipal electoral mailings and community newspapers. Therefore, the item is received by consumers who want to receive it. Visit our Householder Data, which is available online atwww.canadapost.ca/uasupportdocuments for the breakdown of delivery points with and without these notices.

FOUND Magazine
I was given a really cool found-items book this Christmas. I've been meaning to post about it for a while and was reminded today when browsing Darren Barefoot's shared links.
The book is great to page through because of the feeling of innocent voyeurism I get reading abandoned notes, letters, and postcards. I highly recommend checking it out.
Their website: FOUND Magazine | Find of the Day
I find things all the time but I never collect them. My favourites are finding notes with smart-ass replies. I see a lot of these in my apartment building, a recent one read:
To which someone replied:
I know it's not the wittiest reply, but because of the history of outraged residents writing insults to management on service notices we laughed at the thought of somebody being pissed off that they'd been asked not to throw things off their balcony.
What I really enjoy is finding edited notices where lyrics and song titles are written in. Stuff like, "Be advised that work crews will be on-site tomorrow. Please excuse the Bang Bang Maxwell's Silver Hammering noise.

Elastic Warfare!
Growing up I LOVED the elastic guns my Uncle and Dad had. They were simple wood and plastic contraptions that consisted of a cog, a trigger/catch, and a wooden body shaped like a handgun. What fun I had terrorizing my mom and sister, and loading up a whopping 12 elastic bands to rain rubber-justice on imaginary evil doers. Thak-Thak-Thak...
The video embedded below got me thinking about rubber band wars, something I haven't thought about since BN (Before Nevermind Nirvana 1991.)
Now that I'm reminiscing I might as well pass on some important info for those considering engaging in rubber rabble rousing:

Tom Hodgkinson at the Guardian did the digging and wrote up a very enlightening article about facebook. Here's my favourite part, but read the whole article. Mr. Hodgkinson is a great writer and journalist.
Not that I've got much to hide, I'm pretty much an open book and happy to present past and present mistakes to examination and ridicule, but WOW!
This is the first story of 2008 to make me rethink a large part of my life - the social networking & communications side.
Happy monday!

most recent round of funding was led by a company called Greylock
Venture Capital, who put in the sum of $27.5m. One of Greylock's senior
partners is called Howard Cox, another former chairman of the NVCA, who
is also on the board of In-Q-Tel. What's In-Q-Tel? Well, believe it or
not (and check out their website), this is the venture-capital wing of
the CIA. After 9/11, the US intelligence community became so excited by
the possibilities of new technology and the innovations being made in
the private sector, that in 1999 they set up their own venture capital
fund, In-Q-Tel, which "identifies and partners with companies
developing cutting-edge technologies to help deliver these solutions to
the Central Intelligence Agency and the broader US Intelligence
Community (IC) to further their missions".

Dine Out Vancouver
Yeah babies! It has begun, and I'm primed from gorging over the holidays to continue the feast right into 02/2008.
The best time to be in Vancouver is from the January 16th to February 3rd.
I've been making my reservations - attempting to anyway. As of 7:19pm on Friday the 2nd Tourism Vancouver's site was serving up a down for maintenance message.
When it's up you can find the menus and prices at Tourism Vancouver's Dine Out page, then reserve the hell out of as many as you can as quickly as possible at opentable.
So far all I've managed to decide upon is the Fish House in Stanley Park. I'm drooling over the Basa...
If you aren't in Vancouver I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but fine dining ain't one. If I keep eating at this rate my pants not fitting will be one of those 99 problems, and probably a big one because of the "no mumu" policy at work.
