Twitter’s Server Woes

As I have written earlier, I really enjoy Twitter. Reading some of the political writers post 140 character posts on the campaigns is amazing and a lot of fun. Recently Twitter has had some server issues that has made Twitter a bit unreliable and all over the web one has been reading how awful this [...]

Random Thoughts

I know diamonds are the modern anniversary gift but she doesn’t want one (last year she read some on the [...]

The Big Picture

The Big Picture is a blog on the capital markets. I started reading during the recent market meltdown and it is worth your time to subscribe to, even if you are not a market junkie (which I am definitely not)

After Hysteria, Contemplation

James Bow has a good summary of what happened in the three Canadian by-elections. My personal feelings is that this was a disaster for Stephane Dion. His people have a) failed to take control of the party machinery making it very hard to run a competent general election b) aren’t capable of running a by-election [...]

My son sold me out

Wendy has the sad details.
