Finally you can stop using the über crappy STM Azimut, behold Google Maps’ transit mapping. Ok, not perfect, it doesn’t offer alternate options (there’s a much much better route home – Station C for me) but contrary to the STM, expect quick upgrades to this service.
[Update 2008-10-28] Wow. It was the quickest route at that time, it actually offers options based on time of departure, like Azimut but about 10 times faster. Well done Google, well done.

Finalement, Montréal commencera peut-être à avoir des buidlings plus originaux avec pour commencer l’entrée en scène de Paul Andreu pour le 2.22. (via CFD)

Apple posted some pretty amazing numbers from the iPhone. Third market, second homerun and the first market they were in, personal computers, is getting stronger and stronger.
October Be Gone!
Looking forward to the end of October. So far (and hopefully a complete list by now) :
- Marie-Claude’s office was broken into (they didn’t manage to finish the job though so nothing stolen).
- Car was busted into. No damage and nothing stolen thankfully, seems they were looking for laptops.
- Apartment above almost went up in flames (so would have included us) because the smoking neighbour set the balcony on fire.
- Busted pipe downstairs required repairs, small flood in that neighbour’s (condo) basement.
- Front of car ripped off by a delivery van while calmly parked on a sidestreet (we weren’t around).
- Last night I drowned my iPhone in coffee, it’s currently drying out, we’ll see if it survives. Not covered by warranty so it could get expensive.
- The fence in front got knocked down this afternoon by a neighbour backing up his pickup on the sidewalk to deliver something. The whole ugly thing was made of cement so the entire contraption is down, will have to be replaced / rebuilt.
- Minutes ago, lost the one and only filling I had, on a back tooth. With four days left before NY I’ll have to find an apointment quickly, could also get expensive quickly.
- Dollar (ok, that one’s not truely related to us) went down 20% just before a trip to the US.

Ann Cooper: Reinventing the school lunch
I think she’s conflating some issues together and exagerating or misunderstanding some numbers but still, a thought provoking talk on a very important issue.
