Notes for 5/6/2007

Here are my weekly notes:

• Happy Birthday to my brother Tom!
• Yesterday was the 24 hours of flickr event – a global project to chronicle the day in pictures. The photos I took are here.
• I went to Superstore today to buy allergy medicine. I usually get Reactine as it works very well for me. A package of 20 tablets was almost $12. The Exact brand makes the same thing (same medicinal ingredients) so I bought that one instead – 72 tablets for just over $15. Don’t you think that’s a massive difference?!
• Yesterday we learned that Daryl Katz of Rexall fame offered to buy the Edmonton Oilers. Today, we learned that the deal has been rejected.
• Kim told me she likes the new Coke can design. I have to agree. Simple yet attractive.
• I definitely consider myself to be a digital pack-rat. The Globe and Mail calls it information hoarding. Eventually I think everything will be recorded in bits and bytes, so I figure I am just getting a head start.
• This post is a must-read: The Awesome Power of Spare Cycles.
• This woman is a good example of what’s wrong with the world. For so many reasons, including the obvious one.
