  Reporters...

  on Little Ceasar's Says Pizza Pizza Pizza Menu Offering Infringes On Its Pizza Pizza Slogan
  Aside about reporters getting things wrong:
  
  A while back I was interviewed by email for an article in a magazine. Imagine my surprise when the journalist not only misspelled the name of the city in which my company is located - the capital of Canada - she then went on to claim that I was living in The Netherlands...
  
  I've never looked at journalists/journalism the same way again. I mean if they get simple things like that wrong with my piddlin' little interview... I did mention that the interview was by email right?

  Re: Lequin and Science Fiction.

  on Ursula K. Le Guin Resigns From Authors Guild, Because It Didn't Keep Up Its Silly Fight With Google
  You should check out The Dispossessed. A fantastic SciFi book - to me it's her finest work and one of my all-time favourites.

  I find it disappointing she can't deal with the changing world, but what can you do? She is about 80 now...

  on Neat Trick: Rogers Offers Online Video And Broadband Cap To Punish You For Using It
  I'm moving into a place in Ottawa and I'm not going with Rogers or Bell. I'm going to try a company called TekSavvy.
  
  Don't know what their service is like yet, but it had several things going for it:
  
  1) It's not Bell
  2) It's not Rogers
  3) They support net neutrality
  4) They have unlimited bandwidth plans
  5) No contract - month by month
  
  So I thought I'd give it a try...
