Here are my weekly notes:
- Just got back this evening from Vancouver. Had a great time at Northern Voice! I’ll write up my post-mortem later this week.
- I finally got my Dell Mini 9 netbook! It was delivered on Friday, so I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet.
- Though it didn’t win for Best Picture tonight at the Oscars, The Dark Knight still had some good news this week – it surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales.
- This is pretty coo: the hardware behind the newest WordPress.com data center.
- For some reason, I find myself interested whenever I come across another Dubai-related link. Jason Kottke wrote recently about a post by David Galbraith, and summarized: “What’s the biggest problem with Dubai? It doesn’t have the cultural bedrock needed to support a destination city.”
- Cool visualization, though I don’t agree with all of them: The Trilogy Meter.
- My photos from Northern Voice are here, and my photos from Illuminate Yaletown (which I’ll write more about later) are here.
Hey Mack,
it was interesting to read about WordPress, there is a good video of one of Layered Tech’s Secure Data Centres here: http://tinyurl.com/aygl4k.
Congrats on the Mini 9. If you haven’t come across this, you might wanna check out this article:
