Rogers: Canada’s Most Reliable Customer Ridicule Target
The news that Rogers is looking to start its own bank has gotten the world talking. Ok, so people aren’t so much talking as they are not knowing about it, ignoring it entirely or pointing and laughing, but bringing that up would kind of ruin my bit, so for our purposes the world is a …

We’ve long known that there is a large number of things that you cannot expect to be able to do when traveling by plane. Be comfortable, be treated like a human being, know for sure you’re going to get on the flight you paid good money for even though the number of existing seats hasn’t …
A Small Note To Canada Post
Listen, guys. Nobody beyond you and possibly the media on a slow news day really cares who’s fault it is that a few million pre-strike pieces of mail still haven’t been delivered.

We’re Done With Echo
Apologies for the rambling nature of this thing. I was writing thoughts down as they came to me and it got a little long. When JS-Kit bought Haloscan and turned it into Echo in 2009, I was a little concerned. What’s going to happen to my comments? What’s this gonna cost me? Am I, as …
