Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Call me stupid, but I had no idea Google Maps could even do this. All I ever really use it for is route tracking through Blindsquare and figuring out the distance between 2 places I’d like to walk between. Toronto’s Pearson airport has become one of the first Canadian airports to offer travellers maps of …

This is all kinds of wrong. Sondra Arniquett (no idea why her name is spelled two different ways) is suing Drug Enforcement Administration agent Timothy Sinnigen, claiming that after an arrest in 2010, he used pictures and other personal information lifted from her seized cell phone to make a fake Facebook profile in the hopes …
Gilbert Gottfried has written a great article all about apologies and people’s need to have their delicate sensibilities protected at every turn, especially in the age of social media. His focus is naturally on the stupidity of getting outraged at a comedian for doing his job, but there’s a broader point about how meaningless a …

If only governments could act responsibly, poor bastards like FBI Director James Comey wouldn’t have to hold press conferences and say stupid things. FBI Director James Comey has complained that Apple and Google’s use of stronger encryption in smartphones and tablets makes it impossible for cops and g-men to collar criminals. “There will come a …

For the longest time, I’ve been wondering if Canada was ever going to get Spotify. It felt like it was this huge deal everywhere else, but for one reason or another (dealing with regulatory and industry types I suspect), not here. That is, until today. Spotify is pleased to announce that it is officially live …
I wanted to link to a couple Weird Al songs, just because they get in my head, and I like the theme. I tweeted a link to this one when my dad sent me yet another “don’t open a message that says ‘it takes guts to say Jesus’ or it will burn your hard drive” …
So about that having my WWE Network subscription up and running in a few minutes business. I did get it yesterday, but not until close to 10 PM. For reference, that hang tight a second post went up around 2. Looking back, the fact that I called Rogers and got through to a human being …

No thanks to the people at Rogers or WWE who’s job this is supposed to be, I’ve learned a little bit more about today’s Canadian launch of the WWE Network. According to this post from the Fight Network, it sounds like I’m not going to have to throw things. The regular network and the on …

I really don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it looks a bit like some of my fears about Rogers having its hands in the WWE Network might be justified. This article contains the words “modified app” and “most likely be controlled by Rogers,” neither of which sound promising. The live part of that cable …
