Fredericton Geek Speak

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.

I hate cutting and pasting articles, but this is important if you’re against the RIAA suing grandmothers and children over downloading music in Canada….the worst part is that none of this money even gets back to the artists.

Seriously, mass media…please do your job and discuss the candidates’ policies.  If you have nothing valuable to contribute to society, then resign.  Stop wasting air space by speculating over a hand gesture.

Wow CBC!
I never thought i would use those 2 words next to each other! CBC is certainly trying to cater to younger people with the 2008 tv lineup.
Take a look at these new programs:

Facebook users click here to see the video.
A film with Radiohead in it made for New Year’s Eve, 2007. Features every song on their new album IN RAINBOWS, the “physical manifestation” out now in stores.

Listening to Dennis Kucinich talking about how media is changing because of the blogosphere is quite a treat. He seems to understand that social action is easily organized on the internet.

 I must say, that I really enjoyed this film on about 8 different levels.  Many people will dismiss this as petty conspiracy theories which we have all heard from time to time.  Weather you agree on the facts or not, this film does  bring up many questions that the media will not touch with […]

Love him or hate him, Michael Moore has made 2 extremely successful documentaries which has made many people sweat bullets.  It seems that Mr Moore has been extremely secretive about this film as he intends to piss off the health care system.  I found this out via subscription to Michael Moore’s emailing list which I […]

 I needed to express my opinion on the matter of the Flashing Mooninite signs which shut Boston down the other day.  I do admit, I think the 2 men who are responsible for this publicy stunt were very insensetive to the post 9/11 world by this act.  However, who caused the scare here, the 2 men?
