Facebook's IPO
Wowza...just when you thought Facebook had crested its wave, the second tide comes. Maybe this is the ultimate crest of the wave, but still, this is just the most recent development in the great Facebook Story.
I particularly love this article from the New York Times that highlights the ingenuity behind the millionaires and soon to be multi-millionaires behind the Facebook evolution. Oh how the wealthy get even wealthier.
Social Media is the internet and Facebook is at the fore. Only Bono make more money from Facebook than from being Bono.

I'm finally Canadian (symbolically speaking).
I've symbolically integrated fully in to North American Culture. I have just bought my first two boxes of Girl Guides' Cookies!

BC Hydro can't fix a Power Cut
BC Hydro (The main electricity provider for British Columbia) suffered a power cut today at one of its offices, in Glenlyon, near Burnaby today. Six hours later they told staff to go home. This office in particular masterminded and implements the new 'Power Smart' metering programme, designed to smartly power the province. But it seems they can't even power their own offices.
Oh the irony of it all...
