At most turns in this book, I was happy to write off this thesis as the musings of a crackpot. Kingsnorth’s foray into trans-related issues and his defense of conspiracies is just stupid. The assertion that progress wants the end of us is unnecessarily extreme. His holding on so much to religion and the idea […]
Just like medical journals, it seems like every new day brings some new report or another on the “state” of technology. Some reports are “nothing is secure, and you can never be secure”, while others take a more restrained “Apple owns everything” approach. I’m always sceptical when I hear of these things…
Today, I thought it might be interesting to show you something I sent to a young fellow who is interested in the technology field. I had sit down with him to discuss what I do, and some of the things he might look into and he emailed me a few days later. What follows is my advice to him.
If you’re interested in technology news, the Internet is full of articles that summarize what was at CES this year, and what kinds of trends to watch. My perspective is that this coverage leans to a different slant – more than the products themselves.

Over the week, I’ll be bringing you more from the show, but for now – I’m going to look at what kinds of stuff I’m most looking forward to this year.
News that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) intend to expand their Licence Plate Recognition Program (ALPR) from 4 to 27 vehicles is more than troubling
Given an exaggerated need to switch devices often, I thought I would share some of the strategies I use to make sure I can pick up and move forward quickly.
Today, I had to deposit a cheque (or check-in America). As a business owner, this is a common occurrence. In the age of electronic transfers, NFC Payments, Electronic transfers, and Interac Online – we still use these pieces of paper to transfer money to each other. It’s high time the banks upgraded this process.
Of the massive amount of recent dialog, some of it has focused on weapons – but some of it has focused on mental health. To be sure, we all know that a problem exits, but few of us know what (or why) it happens. Dr. Peter Whybrow appears to have some of those answers.
The year is drawing to a close and it’s a good time to reflect on the more important technology, hardware, software and news stories of 2012. It’s been something of a mixed bag…
