If you have not heard about it, you need to read this article: Wired – LHC
This will have implications on how we understand the universe and, ultimately, all our lives, whether you know it or not! And don’t believe all the black hole hype. You have a better chance of winning the lottery. Hmmmm, maybe I should buy those soon so I can take advantage of the money before…
Stay interested and interesting!

As I continue to widdle away the hours of uncertainty at work, I am getting to surf a little more, think a little more and finish my laundry. During all that time, I have found a few more websites that I will share with you, over time. Today, I am going to share a great site with great writing. It better be good, it is a magazine in real life! You need to read WIRED, daily.
I say you have to read it daily because there are new posts every day. Most of what is published in the magazine (ew! paper!) appears on the web eventually. I used to read through EVERY article in the magazine and often found myself running out of time to finish it before the next one came out. Unfortunately, I do not have all the time I used to, so I have to be a little selective. I digress. What you really need to know is VISIT OFTEN! You will find a treasure trove of content. There are some really great digital culture items and the future is explained to you.
Whether you read the paper or online version, WIRED is just amazing. Second only to Shift magazine, a great Canadian digital culture publication, but they went belly up a few years ago, so I have to get my fix from the Americans… 😦
Happy reading!

Yesterday, I posted some of the sites I visit daily and figured I would like to share more. That being said, sharing my bookmark file all at once would be overwhelming and counter-productive as you probably would not have time to spend on each site and really figure out why I like these sites enough to share them.
Today, I would like to introduce you to one of my current favorites, Revision3.com. Revision3.com offers internet based television. They produce quality shows with known (to techies like me anyway…) hosts, many of whom could be seen on TechTV (bought out by G4) a few years ago. You may recognize names like Kevin Rose (founder of Digg.com), Alex Albrecht, Patrick Norton, Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent. There are also some other shows that you may love or hate, like Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library. Gary can be a little loud…
Warning: These shows can get addictive and they are producing quite a bit of content, so watch for addictive behavior! I learned the hard way and had to make up a sleep deficit… 😦
Happy viewing! 😉

Hello world!
This is the first post of many that I want to share with you. I intend to post regularly about a variety of subjects. They will mostly be about technology as this is one of my passions. You may also see a few posts about the activities I do with my daughter Ashley, who is now three years old, so they will be a little immature, but they are for her!
Today, I am listening to Leo Laporte, The Tech Guy, while I work. Leo is pretty good at making technology simple. While I am not trying to emulate him, there are many worse people I could be trying to emulate. If you are interested, you can find his podcast on iTunes under the title “The Tech Guy”. Or you can visit www.twit.tv for all his various content. Happy listening!
As always, you can contact me via email at john@nopants.ca.
Stay interested and interesting!
