Worker Indignity, The Game
Perfect soundtrack! If Amazon thinks that this makes them come off well, they are wrong. Amazon turns warehouse tasks into video games to make work ‘fun’ So what we’re gonna do, see, is we’re gonna take your crappy warehouse job and we’re gonna turn it into a video game so that you’ll think you’re playing …
SiriusXM Is Free Until May 15th If you’re Not Already Paying For It
This is a pretty cool thing that SiriusXM is doing, but I may not take advantage of it. I know if I get myself hooked on it I’m going to want to pay for it. I realize that’s kind of the point, but I ought not make myself want to spend money on more things …

Rogers Has Decided To Rogers
If we’re going to take Bell to task for raising rates during a massive global disease outbreak, it’s only fair that we do the same when Rogers follows suit. Yesterday I cracked open our latest bill and was greeted by the news that, starting in May, the monthly price for our internet service would be …

I Did An Ignite Talk And Didn’t Blow Up!
I meant to write about this back in November, but November and December sort of got devoured, so maybe I can do it justice now. Every November, our company does a little internal conference where people do talks and workshops and stuff for other people to learn from. When it came time to make presentation …
Cut It Out With The Cord Cutting
Maybe this is one of those old man things, but I really don’t understand cord cutting. If you’re trying to save money and all you ever use your TV for is the odd movie or something here and there then perhaps it makes sense to ditch cable and just pay $10 a month for Netflix …
Dear Twitter
If you’re going to limit or suspend someone’s account, doing these two things would be nice. Let me know it happened. You have an email and a phone number for me. Try using them, would ya? There aren’t many reasons I want to hear from you, but this is one of them. Let me know …
