The Web is Amazing, and Full of Potential & Abuse & Potential Abuse
The internet is growing, exponentially, and so is the population, and so are the number of web pages, and so is the number of services, etc. Go long Sandvine. Go long Google. Demographics say so. Indirectly Dr. K Foot says so.
Now I present a list, of stuff, I want to remember, and check in on [...]

Four dot coms and a Two Day Interview!
Like the title suggests, I’ve got four and a half dot coms (I’m investing in them all personally, mostly just small bits of time and a little coin) AND a 2 day interview, kicking off at this place this Thursday. I’m so pumped. It’s important for me to point out, that the [...]

Newspond = Sexypond
I just caught wind of Newspond. I think it’s their 3rd day running, and I’ve watched the number of stories “surface” climbing right before my very eyes. It’s a good idea, but still a news source based on the masses opinion of what is “good” news. The masses are not smart. But, I must say, [...]

Hector the Projector!
Thiago Avila and I are building a Smart Projector for our final mechatronics project. We are going to measure with a web cam where the screen is using image detection techniques. Then, use a PSoC controller, RS232, the Cypress CY3210-EVAL1, a servo, some motors, some fans, a laptop, a fresnel, a very bright light [...]
Interviewing, Recruiting & The Web
I’m going to add supporting evidence, as to how right on the money an article which has been recirculated and edited/updated in Business Week is, and also add value to the discussion, by adding a point they missed. It was an article on how social media, particularly blogs are changing the business world.
They failed [...]

I’m Going to Build Myself One of These
A desk combined with a tread mill.
And i’m going to sell one to Andrew Teeple while I’m at it.
Multi-tasking is great. It’s a really silly idea. I love being dynamic. I love being productive.
Leading, Reading & Roman Like Success
It has hit me like a ton of bricks in the last few days as to one hypothesis why some groups of people are successful, and some aren’t. I wish it had a less silly name associated with the theory, but it doesn’t: Animal Spirits. Please read this entire post, because I tie in RIM, [...]

Ever Heard of The Iron Ring?
After almost five years, I’m getting my iron ring tomorrow. I’d like to inform the uninformed. As well as being a symbol of authenticity, responsibility, intelligence and creativity it’s a reminder of the oath an engineer takes upon joining the brotherhood between all working Canadian Engineers. I wish the world understood it better. There are incorrect stereotypes I hear. [...]

Get a Brand, Get a Reader, Get a life(?)
I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again; ”We’re in the middle of a revolution and information will never flow the same again”. Of course I’m nowhere near the first to say this, I’m just a supporter. Personal online branding is now officially a must. If you’re building a brand that hides your complete identity, it’s just a [...]

Wikinvest.com …my thoughts continued
As I wrote yesturday, I had an interview at Wikinvest.com my post was “to be continued”. Where was I, oh yah, I was in the middle of making a case for why the current wikinvest.com will likely be unsuccessful. Basically, unless they have quite a few tricks up their sleeves, I don’t see it catching on [...]
I’ve become a Sr. Associate…at Wikinvest…why it will fail
So, I had an interview the other day at Wikinvest.com …it went horrible. I completely bungged up. I’ll never hear from them. Oh well, there are tons of things wrong with this unlikely success story. I was hoping they would hire me, and I could fix that for them…but they wanted a coder…I wanted a more challenging/interesting [...]
