Fredericton Geek Speak

So has Brittany Spears gone mad or what?  I’m not going to really give some stupid opinion on the matter, i just think that it’s funny that the media is questioning her sanity over the fact that she shaved her head and got 2 tattoos….big deal, she wants to be a punk? who cares? Oy oy oy!

 My favorite story of the week comes from digg.com - Alaskan Republican Senator Ted Stevens, who once described the internet as “a series of tubes” is introducing a bill which will require any school or library that gets federal internet subsidies, to ban access to social networking sites such as myspace, wikipedia, and other blog sites.  I realize that many schools and universities do not approve of wikipedia as being considered as a reference on papers, but it is still a great resource for researching more crediable internet sites in my opinion.  Ted Stevens has opposed network neutrality on many occasions, which made him a target for many respected tech firms that have criticized him for his position on the matter.  This man is not in favor of technological advances, if it were up to him, we’d all still be using typewriters.
