Apparently, yesterday’s World Naked Bike Ride was cracked down on by the police because a father and his three year old biked naked. While I normally would say that you shouldn’t dictate how people raise their children, I think this was the stupidest idea that I have ever heard.
First of all, taking a child to [...]

While some of it is Zed being Zed, I agree with his premises:
Business Is Killing The Art Of The Hack
Fuck yes, it’s killing the Art of The Hack. While I disagree with his requirement of A/W/C, (I think Craft should be the 2nd C, since it’s being killed by business too), I agree with this [...]

Today I posted a talk about VHS on the BarCamp wiki. I’m going to BarCamp despite the fact that it’s probably going to be a fairly hostile crowd. Anyway, regardless of that, I’m still going and I’m going to talk about VHS.
No, I am not talking about the Video Format.
I am talking about [...]

There’s a lot of cool new projects coming out. We’re hoping that in September, we can establish the new yet-to-be-named Vancouver Hackerspace project. Also, the Vancouver Anarchist Bookfair Collective is starting to get established as well. I’m heading to the Victoria Anarchist Bookfair in September and Edmonton in early October.
However, since I want to go [...]

I don’t know who to cheer for on this decision. Novus is owned by the Property Developers and Shaw is evil, but this decision makes me ROFL a bit since Novus is relatively tiny in comparison to Shaw and it’s possible that if someone makes the right business deals, they can compete and beat out [...]

This has already hit everyone else’s blog, but I want to write about this
This is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. Of course, this is from the city that locked itself down because of Lite Brite. There are quite a few things that need to be considered in this presentation:
Boston’s system is most [...]

It’s weird these days to see people so wrapped up in the Muncipal Election that’s going on in November. We all know about Gregor (Happy Planet) Robertson going up against Peter Ladner. However, I think the big thing that everyone is watching is David Eby. People who claim to be Anarchists are going ape-shit over [...]

I’ve been in Vancouver for a week, and I find that I’m still behind in a lot of personal stuff. Erin hasn’t posted any of the pictures of NYC up on Flickr yet, nor have I posted anything about the last day in NYC. I still have to get stuff booked for the Under the [...]

Last night, after HOPE, Erin and I went to go look for the Local Anarchist projects in NYC. The first place we went to was ABC NO RIO. ABC NO RIO didn’t seem to active on Sunday, but we managed to check out their Zine Library and Computer Lab. They seemed to operate on shifts, [...]

I’m currently sitting in a very crowded hostel lobby with my pack full of stuff that I bought at TheLastHOPE and Bluestocking respectively. The conference was awesome, and if there is another conference by 2600 Magazine, I would HIGHLY recommend making the trip to NYC to go to it.
One of the things that I found [...]
