I’ve been programming lots, which is why I haven’t posted as much as usual. Here are my weekly notes:
- Here’s a really great video I came across from the Inside CBC blog. It’s the first news report CBC TV did about the Internet, back in 1993. I think it’s funny how they refer to it as “Internet” and not “the Internet”.
- Went to Delux Burger Bar tonight, and had the grilled cheese. There portion was quite small, though there were lots of fries in these interesting little shopping carts (instead of say, a plate). The scenery is great, and they give you cotton candy with your bill!
- Addicted to video games? You might want to visit the new rehab center in Amsterdam.
- Mark Evans linked to the Canadian Tech Mob (basically a webring), which is an effort to show that “Canada kicks ass in tech and innovation.” I thought it was cool until I saw the website. No showing off tech and innovation here. Admirable idea, but seriously, the website looks like it was made in 1995.
- YouTube serves over 100 million videos a day now. Staggering isn’t it?
- Went to see Pirates 2 last night, and while it was an enjoyable movie, it is a complete setup for part 3. There’s lots of great action and stuff in this one, don’t get me wrong, but you’re left with that sense of “damn, now I have to wait a year.”
- As you may have heard, Intel unveiled their new Core 2 Duo processors this past week. By all accounts, the new chips look amazing! And as an Intel nut, I am glad they have reclaimed the lead from AMD.
