Matt for Matt
As was expected, the Canucks did very little at the trade deadline today. The only thing we did was trade one Matt for another Matt1. Now, as is my custom in the event of a Canucks personnel changes, I give you my in-depth analysis of the trade: This is Matt Cooke. He was sent to […] →Read more

And speaking of politics, there is a byelection happening in my riding on March 171. According to this CTV News article, the seat will probably be staying Liberal. My favourite part of the article was this: Conservative candidate Deborah Meredith isn’t in Ottawa yet but she’s already refusing requests for interviews. Oh Tories, how you […] →Read more

Northern Voice – Day #2
Today started with a keynote address by Matt Mullenweg from WordPress1. Unfortunately, while I staked out a good seat for the talk, I neglected to stake out one of the 3 electrical outlets in the room and my laptop battery only lasts for 14.3 minutes, so I didn’t get to take notes while the talk […] →Read more
