No, it’s not Brian Molko, even if that’s what it says in the album notes. No, it’s not Brian Molko, even if that’s who appears in the video. It’s Dave Foley, from The Kids in The Hall and NewsRadio.  Now don’t brush me off so easily.  Imagine Dave’s voice, then watch this video: I’m right, [...]

Creating a ReTweeting Twitterbot used to be easy. My colleague Peter Smith originally pointed me towards Tweetalert, a service which scanned Twitter Search for the hashtag of your choice, then retweeted the associated posts via your own Twitter account, or another you’d created for that specific purpose.  This is how the GCPEDIA and GCconnex Twitter [...]

Another day, another social media tool I’m divesting myself from.  Why?  Well, on one hand, it has been as rife with privacy problems as Facebook.  In their rush to get the product out to market to as many people as possible, Google sacrificed the sort of quality control testing that comes with gradually released beta.

For example, do your duties specify that [...]

The funniest thing about this commercial is how much these people loathe each other in real life. Time may never heal all wounds, but as you can see here, screen time and a paycheck can at least restore the illusion of healthy functioning.

The persistent notion that the teen years are some overflowing font of unprecedented rebellion bothers me.  Was this idea perpetuated by those leading child rearing experts that never actually got around to having children of their own? Someone obviously blinked.  Often. Babies fuss their preference for certain foods, certain ways of being held, and certain [...]
