Lawmaker plans bill on Web neutrality - Yahoo Canada News
Before taking FIS1210 (Information and its social context) I have only heard of Net Neutrality but didn’t understand what it was about and what was at sake. Too busy to come up with the full list of resources I wanted to share regarding Net Neutrality, but [...]

Nothing helps cement a new identity more than business cards. I didn’t have the time to design my own this time around, so I went for one of the prepackaged sets from moo that was me.

It came right at the estimated delivery time last month. I’m all set for the next networking opportunity.

Manga guide to databases - Boing Boing [via facebook]
The concept rocks. Maybe everyone will want to be in db if this is their first exposure. I’m sure it makes these concepts so much more accessible. I’m not sure if it’s meant to attract more females (given the style of manga that I can see on [...]

School does not expect us to buy computers for school or buy specific software, unlike those in the MBA program
During my undergraduate program, I had a computer, but it was a PC. It was used almost more for irc and email than school papers. Most of what I studied in school consisted of [...]

In software programming, there’s a particular experience that is bug reporting.
There are many forms of this experience. One example: you’ve downloaded a feature package, a library of code, to (re)use. You use it, and some thing is wrong. The behaviour isn’t what you expected nor documented. But you can pinpoint the problem. You start to [...]

SitePoint CSS Reference
Looks like a nice site for CSS info. Bookmarking it for future reference. Don’t know if it’ll replace my handy CSS reference sheet. Sometimes, it’s still easier for me to refer to paper than look up something online. Especially when I’m testing with a lot of browsers and browser windows/tabs open. It can [...]

Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2007 Version 2.0
Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2008 beta
I particularly enjoy the explanations of the inside jokes, which are very entertaining if you have some understanding of Tokyo and of Web Trends. If I had more room in my home office, I’d get a print copy for the [...]

May has translated the circular shawl instructions on her blog for a pattern I’m waiting to work on from a recent Japanese Knitting Book purchase. I’m so lucky. Thank you May!!!
And yes, It’s quite strange to know another May.

I’ve been quite behind in my blogs reading lately….Found this little gem which was from a while ago. [via]
Chinese Culture Versus German Culture
I’d say that while the project is to reflect between German and Chinese cultures, it’s pretty accurate to what I’ve seen here in North America (the German culture as reflective of NA culture [...]

Knit Picks Knitting Room » Different Color
A very nice graphical guide on a number of different colour yarn join techniques. I’ve seen many instructions for the Russian Join and never was inspired to use it. But this time, these set of really nice photographs have inspired me. On my next joins, I’m going to do [...]

Walk Score - How walkable is your house? [via]
A fun website. My current address is 53, my parents in the burbs got a higher score than us. But it’s a better established neighbourhood.
And my old address in NY, 98 out of 100. I did love living there. Very walkable.
Website seems to be powered off data [...]

I made it.
At least 24 hours without going on Ravelry. I desperately needed to prove that I could do it. I found that I did have time for more work and more knitting. But I also found it so boring. I’ve had a taste of the good stuff and I’m not willing to let [...]

I think I’ve had it. I didn’t realize how badly I’ve been hooked. I’ve been thinking that that I could stop anytime I want. I was wrong. Very wrong. Very very wrong.
I’ve been giving up crafting hours for hours and hours of ravelry.
I thought I could stop anytime.
I needed to prove it. I [...]

My New York age is 35

This New York age puts you into a middle category between young and old (but not “middle age” per se). Be proud. You’ve got a nice balance between going out hard-core and staying in. You care about culture but also like some quiet nights. Keep it up, but think about [...]
