Das Keyboard
Via Waxy, I found this magnificent keyboard: Das Keyboard. It’s a keyboard, yes, without lettering! Brilliant. Since there is no key to look at when typing, your brain will quickly adapt and memorize the key positions and you will find … Continue reading

I saw that the Liberals survived a vote of confidence: I decided to follow it live on television. Interesting to watch: I always expected a majority to be at least 60% of the votes. In the Canadian House of Commons, … Continue reading

Belinda goes to the Other Side
The bombshell of the day was the defection of Conservative Party MP Belinda Stronach to the Liberal Party. It didn’t go over well (naturally) at the HQ of the Conservative Party, the party that (together with the BQ) is just … Continue reading

Scary voices are in the box

CVS

Huffington Post
I‘ve been reading and watching the Huffington Post the last couple of days, and while it hasn’t had good reviews (Technorati), it certainly has interesting posts and articles. And before people call her full of crap, think of this article … Continue reading

The Taping
Tomorrow, Microsoft is going to unveil its next XBOX platform, supposedly called XBox 360. Gates has mentioned this particular event a couple of times too, convinced as his of the impact it will have on our lives™. Uh. Apparently, the … Continue reading
