I find this development simply stunning. Following the recommendation of the Telecom Review Panel to create a new complaints agency, Industry Minister Maxime Bernier announced in April that he was calling on the telecom industry to work with the CRTC to establish an independent telcommunications consumer agency. This is not working with the CRTC, however. This is creating a new corporation, handpicking an interim Commissioner, placing the incorporating lawyer along with lawyers from Telus and Bell on the board, and presenting the Commission as a done deal to the public.—The Canadian Telecom Complaints Commission

Incredible. 1500 inmates dancing Thriller in a Cebu (Philippines) prison. I wonder how that got started? The warden a fan of Michael Jackson or the “guy who kicks everyone’s ass”? ;) (via Jon)

So I think we need more. More granular control. More pivot points for discovery and to flag things we want to watch continually. Simple on/off flow controls. Design that recognizes the ambient nature of these services and doesn’t pretend that we’re going steady.—The solution to too much information is more information
Screw Multifeed
Well, a couple of months after relaunching the blog with new split feeds being offered for people who don’t want to read everything, the experience is terminated. No one subscribed to them, everyone stayed on the main one so I’m canceling the partial feed and sections, that will mean a simpler url structure, hopefully the htaccess stuff I added will make sure everything keeps working fine for old links to my stuff.
