Second Wave
With the ecombust some of the people who created interesting projects and companies after the dotcombust have gotten out of their corporate deals and starting new ventures. They also seem to like small teams and are not only restarting with the same people. And using similar names. Four of the Flickr founders, including Stewart Butterfield are now at Tiny Speck Inc. and working from Vancouver again while Jeff Veen formerly of Adaptive Path and Measure Map is getting the band back together with Small Batch Inc.. Although we know a lot more about their current project, both should bring exciting things.
Regular Opening Hours at Station C
I already mentioned it on Twitter and the Station C blog but we will have regular business hours for July and August. Monday through Thursday 10 to 5pm. No need to book or fill in the form we are normally using, just head over to 5369 St-Laurent #430 and come for a visit.
Our summer intern Megan will be hosting the space for those hours, welcoming dropins and showing the space/ explaining the membership to visitors. If you have been wondering how it feels to work from Station C, now’s the perfect time to try it out. For a few random hours it’s free but the actual hourly fee is $3/hour.
We might announce something else membership related in the coming weeks, we still have to decide if we are adding it and then the exact details but if you have a specific membership combo you would like to see added, please drop me a line and tell me what you have in mind.
Oh My
Is this real or some kind of messed up Google ad à la Microsoft? If real, people who don’t know what a browser is should not be let on the internets. And you were wondering how come spammers find value in doing what they do? Those would be the people getting caught.

There are already quite a few such wells, including Google Search and Chrome, that profile user interests and surfing habits: Gmail, which gives the company access to our email conversations, and Google Voice, which gives the company access to our spoken ones. Add to this Google Street View and Latitude, a service that tracks the physical location of its users, and mobile and desktop operating systems and, well…that kind of consolidation of Internet-based services around a single dominant company should give us all pause.
