Extra! Extra! Canada is different from
the U.S.! 12/02/2003 11:02 AM
Canada's View on Social Issues Is Opening Rifts With the U.S. (note: NYT reg. required) "Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull," Rick Mercer, Canada's leading political satirist, said at a recent show in Toronto. "Between the pot smoking and the gay marriage, quite frankly it's a wonder there is not a giant deck of cards out there with all our faces on it."

Being different is good, right? Right? Vive la Difference!

D.C. Looks to Wireless for Last Mile

D.C. Looks to Wireless for Last Mile 01/26/2004 01:52 PM
The Washington, D.C. area has a number of small operators using Wi-Fi to offer high-speed access to businesses and residential Internet users: An In-Stat/MDR analyst estimates that about 1,000 small operators sell wireless Internet access but what's interesting about the D.C.-area operators is that they're targeting customers in or very near cities. Typically small operators have targeted rural areas that don't have any other option for broadband connectivity. Perhaps the popularity of using wireless in the home is making wireless seem a more acceptable way for end users to get Internet access. These companies can so easily distinguish themselves from the big operators by offering quality service and good customer service....

the mile of the century Fifty years ago today, Roger Bannister, the first man to break the 4-minute mile, and John Landy, who beat his record a month-and-a-half later, squared off in Vancouver BC to determine who was the fastest runner in the history of the world, in what is arguably the most dramatic sporting event of the 20th Century. The record for the mile has gone down astonishingly through the years, but are there limits on how low it can go? (View video of the historic Bannister vs. Landy matchup here.

Cat Survives 150-Mile Trip Under Car
Hood (AP) 12/29/2003 11:37 PM
AP - For Tracker, the car ride from the Kalamazoo area to Rochester Hills was long, and could have cost him a life or two. The long-haired gray cat rode unseen in the engine compartment of a female college student's car as she drove home for the holidays. Officials at Pontiac's Michigan Animal Rescue League, the feline's current home, say he probably survived the 150 mile-trip in the Chevrolet Tracker because the woman did not stop.

Samsung 30-Mile Cordless Phone

Samsung 30-Mile Cordless Phone 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

If you're the type who dreads being dragged kicking and screaming into the use of a cell phone, Samsung sells their Long Range Cordless Phone. With an incredible (for landlines) 30-mile range, the set includes a caller ID-capable LCD and is able to communicate with the base-station, acting as an intercom. It includes a car charger and an outdoor antenna with 50 feet of cable that could very well violate my Homeowner's Association's CC&Rs. Either way, if you want to use your landline anywhere in town (mountains and buildings aside) without a cell phone account, this $300 option from Samsung is one to consider.
