Someone pointed me over to read an article about weblogs at cba.org. I was scanning the article when I noticed that apparently there’s a new word floating around the (*gag*) “blogosphere.” More and more lawyers are joining the “blogosphere” (the loose confederacy of those speaking out on the Web) every day, authoring their own blogs…

A couple of things worth seeing – I’ll try to bring a bit of these every day or two, to keep you entertained: Scary Baby Pictures The Future of Design @ Inhabitat Also, some musings on the search engine wars: Google is better at indexing blogs/forums, but Yahoo! seems to be doing better on the…

Over the last year or so, I’ve noticed some unusual traffic on my site. It’s a bot, typically, one hitting every file on my site, but not affiliated with a known search engine such as Google. Being the curious type, I tend to plug in IP addresses to this nify “whois” service in order to…

I usually wouldn’t bother, but since no one (as far as I can tell) has presented a dissenting opinion, I’d like to add one. I stumbled across Seth Godin’s post on the “new digital divide this morning. It’s an interesting concept, but one that seems to completely ignore history and the nature of people. Seth…

A few days ago (Wednesday May 4), I found myself at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) looking at the Massive Change exhibit. Since I already have the book, I had a bit of an idea of what to expect. The first thing I noticed was that the AGO building face had been repainted for…

I’ve decided that since I read a lot of books, I might as well review them here for other peoples’ enjoyment – or to spare them the trouble of reading the book themselves. Cass suggested that I read a little (only 100 pages or so) book called Tsi-Tsa, by George Mikes, even though she didn’t…

Unless it’s an April Fools joke, Google is now going to double its email storage to 2GB. It’s not as if I was using more than 130MB anyway (mostly transferred MP3s and stored documents that I mailed myself for backup) , but I obviously won’t be complaining about this. As of this post, my Gmail…

I heard about this first last week, but it’s been paraded about again on MSNBC that there is a “diversity problem” in the blogging community. So what’s the problem? Apparently, Rebecca MacKinnon and Halley Suitt feel that the blogging world is dominated by white American males. They even went so far as to challenge people…

I was looking for some info on PHP session timouts, and scanning google for information on the gc_maxlifetime variable in PHP, when I came across some weirdness. Try this search: http://www.google.ca/search?q=1440+php+maxlifetime&btnG=Search&hl=en If you see what I saw, you’ll get this: We’re sorry… … but we can’t process your request right now. A computer virus or…

That might explain this. (Or maybe he was just on vacation!)
