Matt on Etech et al
Matt posted a rant about the upcoming ETech: It's just that the topics on offer: y'know - the copyfight, social software, bloody blogs, web services etc. might still be worthy topics for discussion, but I feel like I've been around...
Can't... sleep...
It is 4:30am, again. I am exhausted. Barely slept last night; late night partying and early start this morning playing tech support. The most relaxing part of my day today was playing ambulance for Karl when the call, er.. Instant...
Gratuitous political statements of the day
In the spirit of Turkey Day, here is "A thanksgiving Prayer" by William S. Burroughs Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts. Thanks for a continent to despoil and...

You know things are bad when
I just tried pushing the screen of my PowerBook back... using the cursor......
Inexplicable mushy thought of the day.
The greater your fear of losing me the tighter you hold on to me the more forcefully I will implore you to let go. Hold me as if we are never to be apart so that we may never be....
My first Sony Walkman
Following a post by Nika, I thought it'd be cool to start a "thing", a "meme" perhaps... whatever. Use the TrackBacks, Luke! To find your first Sony Walkman, check out Pocket Calculator's Vintage Walkman Museum: Sony So, "I'll never forget...

WikiTravel
Just came back from a fun Dim Sum lunch organised bySébastien Paquet, where I met, amongst others, the co-founders, Evan & Michele, of Wikitravel, the Wikipedia of travel. I don't need to explain the concept do I? ;)...
Open Source Religion
"Release early, release often." (disclaimer: many of the facts - names of cultures, places, people and dates - are not terribly known to me. I am not a scholar, I'm a hobbyist.) There exists a fantastic Open Source project...
Game
Just received the above in a group email with the subject "Best night of your life". Amazingly it made it past my spam filters. Not that it is spam - I know the senders - just... you know... The...
On Levendis
Few people have ever asked me what "levendis" means. Fewer still ever asked why I chose it for, amongst other things, my main Internet domain name. I came across the word Levendis in a short story by one Harlan Ellison,...
Firepoop
I can't seem to get Firefox to work on my machine. Immediately after launch, the only item in the top Menu is "Firefox" (no "File, Edit etc...") and essentially the keyboard is disabled (I can't type a URL into the...
It's up to you
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even tacitly take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears...
As I was saying...
I finally got down to doing some work I've been putting off for weeks. I haven't received an e-mail or IM request in about two hours. Perfect. I decided to quit Mail, then iChat, then Proteus. Ok, I can DO...

In a postpostmodern state of mind.
In order to avoid ambiguity, over- or false- interpretation, it is crucial that one properly contextualize every element, in relation to every other element in it's environment. Meaning can only be found in the relationship of each object with each...

Mobile Internet Radio
This afternoon an acquaintance sic'ed a local journalist on me for my opinion on digital/satellite radio. She also mentioned Internet radio and how I currently use it. My first thought went to those silly "Internet stations" listen in iTunes and...
The US becomes 'situated'
Absolutely brilliant article by Nick Currie (Momus) regarding the U.S. after the Bush re-election: The US becomes 'situated'. A postmodern national identity happens when you see yourself as The Other. Before it saw itself as The Other, the US saw...
Où
Dehors, il fait noir et il commence à pleuvoir. "Où sont mes amis?" je me dis. Je me rattrape aussit√¥t: "Non, plut√¥t, où en suis-je?" Je n'ai pas d'amis. Je n'ai rien. Il y a, sûr que bien, ...
Style
Style is the answer to everything. Fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous day. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without style. To do a dangerous thing with style, is what...
Liberté
La liberté est un fardeau énorme. Une énorme responabilité, envers non juste soi-m√™me, mais autrui, requierant une discipline puisée au fond de son √™tre. Je ne commence qu'à vraiment voir cela. La liberté est une chose terrible à prendre pour...

Montreal Metroblog
I want ten Montreal-area webloggers to join me in making up our local Metroblog. English and french posts that somehow have something to do with Montreal, and share whatever bits of this great city. :) Here are some of the...
There are two kinds of republicans
Every single american who voted republican yesterday falls into one of two categories: Those who know exactly what is going on and support it, vociferously. Those who haven't got a clue, are picking their bellybuttons and do as they are...

I wasn't going to say anything about all this, but I just saw something that made my jaw drop... Not the numbers or stats or anything like that... look closely... juuuust beneath the face-off box... First line after it. "Election...
