Ian says that wikipedia and Google are the new killer apps. I say no way. I say email is the only killer app in that it does what it promises and is useful to anyone who comes into contact with it. The web, conversely, fails in many many ways...but even saying that is not getting it. Is there any other industry and activity which lacks any real critical analysis of its downside? The teflon effect of the Internet is likely its greatest success.

- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.

- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

This brings new meaning to 'Porn as a killer application'.

Lyle Lovett and a cello doing "God Bless America" was good weird. I almost took a photo of the TV but it was over too fast. I bet Barbara Bush thought it was a bad thing: "kids shouldn't see that sort of thing" sort of thing. I was all for Babs back in '90. Why did she go so bad? Why can't she just go with where Lyle was going?

No - it was good. It was good like Sonny and Cher having real people who make records on the TV talking and stuff was good. Weird only that Lyle is, you know, weird. But good. Real good.
