Attention Apple (iPhone unit)
Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:09:44 EST

Dear Apple, Wow, what a great looking phone you've come up with, smooth, shiny, functional, and hopefully easy to use (one would guess based on the ads).  Your marketing department should be commended on attaching the letter "i" to the word "Phone", and creating the iPhone... what a novel name for a phone! I don't think anyone saw that coming. I understand with all the hype and fanboys, it wasn't going to be hard to sell your phone. Even at an expensive asking price you're bound to sell, sell, sell... hey the iPods were expensive but you had no problems selling them. So I see how it would be a coup for a single cell phone service company to sell your phones and let all the others weep as various ill-informed consumers came in and asked for "that new apple phone, the phone with the fish". I'm sure AT&T paid a pretty penny for the privaledge, and not just for 6 months (originally the popularity lifetime of a cell phone), not even for a year... but for two years. In itself there's nothing wrong with that - with number portability anyone can move to AT&T if they want an iPhone, but what about those tech-savvy people in the forgotten country north of you? Perhaps you're unaware that we share media with you... perhaps you didn't know there isn't a Canadian edition of every magazine and TV channel you have. Well, there it is, we see your TV spots, we hear the internet speak about the iPhone, we flip over our favourite magazines and find an iPhone ad on the back. But wait! You can't buy an iPhone in Canada. We don't have AT&T as a service provider. News is finally starting to percolate through the web that Rogers, the only GSM provider in Canada is working on bringing the iPhone to Canada. That's good to hear. What's worrying about said news, is there aren't any definite times, there isn't anything certain, and there's no excuse for the delay. Why didn't Apple work with a Canadian carrier to provide the handset in both countries at the same time? Why do we have to hear about everyone else enjoying the technology before it's even considered that perhaps a Canadian would like to carry an iPhone? I think those wonderful glossy iPhone commercials should have an apology to Canadians, or at least mention that we should put it out of our minds for the time being while things are worked out. Yes I know your phone is groundbreaking, yes I see it's popular and does many great things, yes I know it's available now... so why can't I get one?
Interesting Concept
Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:56:59 EST

A sort of spam gateway for your snailmail/lettermail, Earth Class Mail gives you an address to give out, scans the outside of incoming mail - if commanded (by you) it'll open the mail and scan the contents. Plans are somewhat reasonable but only available to Americans (sigh). ... of course this concept looks rather like self-generated eBilling... all the utility companies I get mail from want me to switch to ebill (of course they do - it's WAY cheaper for then - but they offer no financial incentive to me). The advantage is spam mail can be shredded/recycled by them (woo saving mail-bin trip) and you don't have to give away geographic information that resolves to your residence.. that's good for spys (I hear).
Props to Chanse Vigen
Mon, 16 Jul 2007 08:11:09 EST

Next time I'm riding a chuck wagon (as unlikely as that may sound) I think I want Chanse Vigen as one of my outriders. On Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede, there was a serious crash injuring a wagon racer (he was thrown from the wagon and sustained hip and arm injuries), and causing the death of three horses. No doubt the horses pulling the driverless wagon were scared (not just from the driver departing, but from the crash itself) but fortunately Chanse Vigen jumped onto the wagon and brought it under control without incident. I'm interested in races not crashes, but it would have been something to see someone do that - no take 2, no controlled conditions, after-editing, or wires to help him... just one guy gettin' it done. Apparently protesters at the grounds called for an "an end to rodeo and chuckwagon races at the Stampede" after the third horse was euthanized (hate that word)... which some absolutely moronic. The point of the stampede is the chucks and rodeo - the drinking, debauchery, food and rides are there because of the chucks and rodeo. Take away what makes the Stampede and you've basically got nothing. Still no matter what the problem/success there's always someone who feels it very wrong and should be stopped immediately.
Have a Hobby

Some obvious reasons to have a hobby here - and yet it's nice to see it in digital ink... 5 Reasons Why Hobbies Are Important
Heat Beating (Long Term)
Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:51:00 EST

Long Term Solutions Shade - If you're landscaping, and thinking really long term, or have the budget to buy large, or the ability to build near mature trees, give shade a shot. A well placed tree can reduce the direct sun into your place, and also provide a captivating dance of leaf shadows inside the house. Plus you get the undeniable pleasure of hearing wind in the leaves (and raking them in fall - oh joy). Water - Don’t underestimate the power of a body of water to help cool. You can use water as a heat regulator – it’ll absorb heat during the day and release heat a night. Or you can use the phase change of water to steam to help cool – in fact many commercial cooling systems use water to cool on a large scale. Window Technology - There's no such thing as "just a window, you can have multiple glazings, inert gases between panes, and reflective coatings on some/all of the layers. A good combination can make a huge difference to the heat you feel on the other side. Window Placement - A north facing window (north hemisphere) isn't going to get much sun (depending on how far north you are it'll get some in winter). An east facing window will get morning sun, however regional air temperature takes time to warm up. A south facing window gets the most sun (north hemisphere, depending on latitude) but won't be directly heated at sunrise or set (depending on time of year). A west facing window gets as much sun as an east facing window - but this time it's at the hottest time of the day – so it’s going to feel warmer.
Heat Beating (Longer Term)
Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:50:39 EST

Longer Term Solutions Be sensible about Window/Door openings - the low to mid 20 centigrades (22c-25c) tend to be where the air starts to feel hot. It's all relative of course. Around that temperature or below outside - open windows and doors to cool the place. If you live in an area that's cooler at night, an especially effective method is to open the windows and doors over night (this can be so effective you might need a blankie by morning!) Just remember to close the windows as soon as it starts warming outside - otherwise your nice cool air will disappear soon after it warms up. Blow air out through an open window - here's something I didn't know... pointing a fan to blow hot air out through an open window is more effective then sucking cool air in through the window. Something to keep in mind when you're using fans next. Close the curtains/blinds - exterior blockers - be them wood, fabric, steel or plants - will stop sunlight (and therefore some heat) from getting into the place. It'll also make you feel like you're living in a cave or bunker. Less effective but still helpful is closing the interior window coverings - particularly if they have light colour on the side facing out (to partially reflect the light and heat back). If you happen to have foil-backed curtains, all the more power to you (FYI: get some taste.) Air Conditioning - Not much needs to be said here – we mean, of course, hot-to-cold heat exchangers when we say Air Conditioning (A/C) - even though heating air is also conditioning. Just be warned - you'll see a difference on your utility bill.
Heat Beating (Quick Remedies)
Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:50:25 EST

You can't win with weather ... it's too hot, it's too cold, it's to dry, it's too humid... no matter what’s going on someone feels it's some kind of extreme. You can even catch the more irritating claiming opposites at the same time, or flip-flopping in an extraordinarily short range (22c=too cold, 23c=too hot... and the couldn't tell you which it was without a thermometer anyway!). Never the less there are times when the heat can become too much... so here’s a list of ways to help out. There are lots of useful articles out there, every paper/blog in the northern hemisphere is probably doing something on this... and none of this is rocket science. Quick Remedies Spritz - get a squirt bottle and lightly mist yourself, especially your wrists, the back of your neck, the back of your knees and your chest (anything that goes red is a good indicator - that's blood near the surface, or a burn in which case wear sunscreen, fool). This really helped on my journey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon last year. Take off your shoes + socks - you'd be amazed how cooling it is to free your feet from shoes and socks. If you're already wearing sandals removing them will still give you a benefit. If you're really adventurous you can even dip your feet in cool water, but for those with ticklish feet, that might be a bit extreme. Point a Fan at Yourself - A fan doesn't cool anything - in fact technically it's adding to the temperature since it isn't 100% efficient (the electrical motor will give off heat) that being said - air movement will help with evaporation - one of your bodies fundamental ways of cooling itself (perhaps you’ve heard of sweat?) Don't leave a fan on if you're not there - perhaps like a tree in the woods; it doesn't cool/make a noise if you're not there to observe it. Shallow, Cool Water - Placing a shallow bowl of cool/ice water in the stream of moving air (behind a fan for example) will increase the humidity of the air, but the heat absorbed by the water will cool the air passing by. If you’re in a sticky, humid heat this probably isn’t a good solution for you. Also if you’re using ice that you made in your own freezer – don’t forget you will generate more heat making the ice then you’ll absorb melting it.
Generic Ink
Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:18:20 EST

My home printer is pretty useless right now without any ink, or with most of them dried up and not working. Rather than fork out almost $100 for Epson ink (more than the printer!) I've decided to try some generic ink. I don't want to mess around with re-filling, there's a reason you replace the heads/cartridges and from what I've read it's an incredibly slow process. Anyway, G+G ink seems to be my choice after reading the website: http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/inktest.html. The spam-like layout, the repeating, the structure all lead me to fear it was hype created by G+G but once I got down to the sample prints, and some of the other information I decided it probably was for real. Either way - if I'm not paying for Epson ink I'm going to have to chose one generic to try. I'll let you know how the ink pans out.
