Notes for 4/12/2009

Happy Easter! Here are my weekly notes:

• I haven’t been online much this weekend, mainly because I’ve been working on ShareEdmonton. I’m making really good progress on it – more to share later in the week!
• The Journal wrote about how Twitter was used in a recent baby kidnapping, and they interviewed me for it.
• Wednesday was the 10th anniversary of The Matrix. I still love that movie.
• There’s a new, more Twitter-like interface for FriendFeed now in beta testing. I haven’t been using FriendFeed very much lately, but my initial impression of the new design is positive.
• From Wirelessnorth.ca: Real Marketshare of Canadian Carriers. They note that Bell has kept its share largely by purchasing Aliant, Telus is growing aggressively, and Rogers didn’t see as large a bump from the iPhone as you’d expect.
• The Alberta budget for 2009 was released on Wednesday – Dave has the details.
• As mentioned in the comments on my Edmonton notes, the Oilers were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this week. Not sure who to cheer for now!
• Here’s a really great idea from Boris Mann: Web apps should let me “bring my own storage”. That would indeed be pretty cool.
