So this is where I was hit by a car 9 years ago in Newmarket, Ontario. I am shooting a short film this summer based on this incident and this video will hopefully be reshot as a scene in my film just before the accident takes place.
Here are some pictures of the intersection:

Today I received a phone call by Rebecca Lau from Global News requesting an interview to discuss my opinion on Bell and Telus’s move to start charging their customers for inbound text messages. She tracked me down via this blog and noticed that I write about technology a bit so naturally I knew a lot about this sorta thing (i’m not going to lie, i’m no expert!) I was upfront with her and told her that I had not been tracking the story but I would call her back after a bit of quick research on “the Google” regarding this issue.
After thinking the situation over I positioned my opinion based off of the fact that more and more people are using text messaging services so the demand is on the rise however this does not justify the double billing. The part of the interview that was used was when I mentioned that Bell and Telus are trapping their customers into paying for text messaging plans vs pay per use which I would imagine the majority of mobile users are currently set up on. Both Bell and Telus claim that it will save you money if you sign onto a text message plan. This is a half truth.
Personally I rarely use my text messaging services because I think it’s silly when the majority of my friends have facebook, email and good ol’ fashioned telephones. Most of my text messages are conducted when i’m traveling, responding to an inbound text, or when i’m in a quiet area where a phone call is not acceptable like at a movie or funeral. (ok i’ve never texted at a funeral, that’s just evil) To be honest, I don’t even know how much I pay for texting nor do i care (until now). I think I would consider myself a “casual texter” who probably doesn’t text more than 10 - 15 times / month. So when you break it down…if i send and receive 15 text messages at 30 cents a pop that’s $4.50 / in text charges. So under the old system I would have paid half of that. Well the cheapest Bell text plan is $5.00 which gives you up to 100 text messages / month. This isn’t THAT big a jump in your phone bill.
Now say you send 50 text messages at 15 cents a pop (the old billing system with no text plan), this would cost you $7.50 (double that to $15 with the new billing system). Doesn’t it make sense to pay for a $5 text plan that gives you 100 text messages? Problem solved.
This is a non-issue for me because by next week I will probably have an iPhone! I really don’t think there is reason to be alarmed for this move. The only people that will be “somewhat” upset are those of the older generation or those who do not text outbound but still receive junk text from marketing companies. Bell and Telus will give you the option to call in to have these spam text charges removed, but seriously…who is going to sit on hold for 20 minutes over a 15 cent charge?

I will comment later.
The City of Fredericton is reviewing its position on whether skateboarders can travel on public streets.
A bylaw that bans skateboarders from the capital’s roadways made the city the subject of national scrutiny last month after a 25-year-old skateboarder who challenged the law went to jail for non-payment of fines. Councillors are set to re-examine the policy to determine whether the outright ban is still right for Fredericton.
“We are going to look at the issue and we are going to settle it,” Bruce Grandy, chairman of the city’s transportation committee, said Thursday.
City employees will be asked to examine practices elsewhere, he said.
Ottawa and Vancouver will likely serve as examples.
Ottawa allows skateboarders and rollerbladers to use city streets. In Vancouver, provided they don’t impede the flow of traffic, skateboarders and rollerbladers can travel on any road without lines painted down the centre.
Lee Breen, the skateboarder who went to jail over the issue, said he’s encouraged Fredericton councillors are ready to take another look at the issue.
“I think they’ll find skateboarding can be a very safe and efficient means of transportation,” Breen said Thursday.
Jordan Graham, the rookie councillor for Ward 11 who is one of those pressing the issue, said council should take a thorough look at the issue before reaching a decision.
“We need to get as much information on the table as we can, and we have to make sure the decision we make is what’s best for everyone. We have to ensure it is safe for the skateboarders and for the people around them.”
Grandy said a decision will have to be made.
“We can study it to death, but at the end of the day there may not be anything that we can do to accommodate everyone.”
He said people need to follow the rules.
“We’re not going to get anywhere if people are violating the law,” Grandy said.
Bylaw S-9 prohibits anyone from using a skateboard, sled, wagon, toboggan or other device to coast or slide on city streets.
Breen, who’s waiting to challenge a second ticket for riding his skateboard on a public street, said the bylaw runs against Fredericton’s initiatives to promote active transportation and cut down on greenhouse gases.

Here it is, folks, at long last: Industry Canada Minister Jim Prentice is about to introduce his Canadian version of America’s disastrous Digital Millennium Copyright Act tomorrow. In so doing, he is violating his own party’s promise to seek public consultation on all treaty accession bills, he’s ignoring the cries of rightsholders, industry, educators, artists, librarians, citizens’ rights groups, legal scholars and pretty much everyone with a stake in this, except the US Trade Representative and the US Ambassador, who, apparently, have had ample opportunity to chat with the Minister and give him his marching orders.Watch this space — we’ll have all kinds of ways for you to call your MP, the Minister’s office, and everyone else with a say in this sordid, ugly sellout. In 1998, the US bill criminalized the majority of American net-users at the stroke of a pen with a bill that cost tens of thousands of downloaders their life’s savings, allowed the entertainment industry to destroy innovative companies and devices, and did not reduced infringement or pay a single artist. Ten years of this misery and absurdity, ten years of trying to make the Internet worse at copying, and all it’s done is drive a rift between customers and musicians and allowed the music industry to piss away the business opportunity of a lifetime with lawsuits and saber-rattling.
Canada can do better. Certainly, it can’t possibly do any worse — unless men like Prentice continue to make law without allowing Canadians to get a say in it.
Government of Canada to Table Bill to Amend the Copyright ActOTTAWA, June 11, 2008 — The Honourable Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry, and the Honourable Josée Verner, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Status of Women and Official Languages, and Minister for La Francophonie, will deliver brief statements and answer media inquiries shortly after the tabling of a bill to amend the Copyright Act. Members of the media will also be able to attend a technical briefing and lock-up prior to the tabling of the bill to amend the Copyright Act. - Link

British indy sensation Bloc Party will drop in for a performance at the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival this fall. This is great news for the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival as organizers have already done a great job inviting headliners Buddy Guy and guitarist Derek Trucks to the line up.

Brit Chart-Toppers Bloc Party to rock Fredericton’s Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival
(Fredericton, NB) – The headliners keep coming for Fredericton’s Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. With blues legend Buddy Guy and “otherworldly” guitarist Derek Trucks already announced, New Brunswick’s biggest annual music festival made a huge announcement today with the signing of million-selling British pop-rockers, Bloc Party.
After performing this summer at Chicago’s Lollapalooza and Toronto’s Virgin Festival, the critically acclaimed British band will make their East Canadian debut in Fredericton on Saturday, September 13, 2008. Tickets go on sale Saturday, July 19, 2008. Visit www.harvestjazzandblues.co
m for further information.
“This is another huge score for Fredericton,” says the Festival’s Musical Director, Brent Staeben. “Being included on a world tour for a band of this stature is a major coup for an Atlantic Canadian Festival.”
Storming onto the scene in 2005 with their debut album Silent Alarm, Bloc Party spent 69 weeks on the UK’s top album charts. The record, which included the singles “Banquet” and “Helicopter”, raced up the charts in 17 countries around the world, was declared Album of the Year by NME Magazine, and went on to sell one million copies worldwide.
Returning with their follow up A Weekend in the City, singer Kele Okereke, guitarist Russell Lissack, bassist Gordon Moakes and drummer Matt Tong teamed up with producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol) to create 11 electrifying and staggeringly direct tracks that chronicle post-millennial Britain.
“It’s a great endorsement of the unique event that we’ve created here in Fredericton,” says Staeben. “Bloc Party is one of Britain’s hottest music exports right now and we’re thrilled to have a stop on their world tour. The huge reception that DJ Champion received here last year cemented our reputation as a great place to perform in front of a very appreciative and enthusiastic audience.”
The UK phenom group is renowned for their amazing live shows and bold indie-techno sound.
Pitchforkmedia.com said, “…within a minute the band’s starting to kick up dust, on its way to be a chorus hook that’s loose, energetic, and honestly thrilling: It’s the kind of craftsmanship that would sound good coming from nearly anyone.”
Blender Magazine said, “At Bloc Party’s best, music and message collide with astounding force.”
Hitting the Afterburner stage at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday night, Bloc Party will thrill the crowd with their dynamic live show, their hottest tracks on the set list and even a preview of songs from their newest album, set to be released through Warner Music in October, 2008. Prior to coming to Canada, Bloc Party will perform at some of the world’s biggest music festivals including Chicago’s Lollapalooza, Germany’s Hohenfelden Festival and the UK’s Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, July 19 at 8:30 a.m. at Harvest Central, 81 Regent Street; by phone, 1.888.NB BLUES (622.5837); and online, www.harvestjazzandblues.com. Major credit cards accepted and service charges may apply. This show is restricted to ages 19 and over. Doors open at 12 a.m.
