TiddlyWiki - a reusable non-linear personal web notebookis basically the only wiki I've found that you're able to use without having access to Server Side Includes. It's basically a very cool javascript.

MobileAtom J2ME is something to keep an eye on. Looks like I'll be able to edit my blog while on the road pretty soon. Especially once I eventually get my new cell phone. It's been a week of waiting now, and I'm getting tired of waiting.

Bloglines Most Popular Blogs is something I'll have to go through and try and figure out what makes a blog popular. I know that there are very few viewers of this page. I'd like to change that.

So there was recently a

So there was recently a little brouhaha in eastern Canada about an offensive t-shirt in the window of a store. What I find particularly offensive is that only one of these shirts was considered controversial:




You only get one guess as to which one....

Looking at the rest of their selection, I think that their statement on the whole thing is pretty bang on:

Dear Canada...

To everyone who has been protesting and sending complaints regarding our hammer shirt, we'd like to say we don't condone violence toward women. That being said, our entire line is centered around poking fun at taboo subjects like violence, suicide, religion, and death. To take these images at face value, is reactionary at best. Our sense of humor and designs are not for everyone. NO ONE is forcing you to look at, buy or wear anything you don't want to, including Jinxed Clothing. Protesting a store that is owned and operated by women, for demaning women is extremely short-sighted. Cherry Bomb has our absolute support. Feel free to check our ladies section for the female version, a pair of scissors that reads 'he had it coming'. We are equal opportunity offenders.

That said, I wouldn't wear either one, as my taste in offensive t-shirts runs more toward the political than the social commentary.... Wearing a Che Guevara shirt to a conservative function, or a Pro-Bush shirt to an NDP one. ;)

The Downtown Victoria 2020 goup

The Downtown Victoria 2020 goup has released a report on their vision of living in Downtown. Took me long enough to realize it. I'll report shortly with my critique of it, but in the meantime, I recommend you read it yourself. The 2020 group seems to have some heavy hitters supporting it, so it will be a force in creating a vision for Victoria's future.

Looks like the browser wars

Looks like the browser wars are back. Firefox is spreading fast, OSX users are using etiher Safari or Camino, and IE has seen it's market share getting smaller for the first time in a very long while. Kind of makes me smile.

Now that's just goofy!

Now that's just goofy! Swarovski crystal covered mini iPods. Sometimes I think that taste is a very rare commodity.

Another case in point, the Oakley Thump. Like we need to combine 400$ sunglasses with a 100$ mp3 player.

NASA World Wind looks pretty

NASA World Wind looks pretty darn cool! I can't actually tell yet, as it hasn't been released for OSX or linux yet, but I suspect it's just a matter of time. Heck, I might even try my hand at a basic app for it....

What is it you ask? It's an interface to a NASA computer that is serving up a full satellite map of the globe that is zoomable from full globe right down to seeing individual buildings. Amazing to think of.
