This one deserves to be called r-a-d. I don't think I've used that word since 1992, but it just may be the best word to describe this:

After the comedy of the last post, here’s a more serious look at the iPad. Impressive little machine.

- Someone smarter than me has probably said this before
Something just dawned on me, I've not seen it said like this, but someone smarter than me has likely said it before. The key difference between old communication and new social media communication is the intent of the communication event.
With traditional communication–marketing, PR, journalism, etc– getting it published is the end game. When [...] - Making the Setu Chair
I think I might get a couple of these…

- Learning to Mac about
Mac learning. Cool, figured out psuedo full screen view. I was missing that. Kind of frustrated about not having a ‘delete’ and ‘backspace’ key–I got very used to using both.
I still need to install Adobe Creative Suite. I am still having trouble with installing stuff, especially if it comes as a stuffit or zip [...] - 43f mac tips

Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous - Going mac
For the next 21 days or so I'm gonna write brief snippets about my experiences going mac. This is as much for me as anyone interested. I have a couple of super-geek buddies that have done this in the past few years and I'll post a bunch of useful – or useless links – along [...]

I don’t know who is making these videos, but they are hilarious. I found it at Drunk Cyclist

Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous - Hysteria
The H1N1 flu is a pandemic. It is being discussed everywhere and reported on daily in the medias. I think the result has been an overall panic about the whole thing. I recently had H1N1. It sucked. It laid me up for quite a while, aboot 2.5 weeks. But honestly, it was really just like [...]
- This looks interesting.. BIG IDEAS this weekend
Religion is back… with a vengeance. After years of taking it for granted that religious beliefs will recede into the private realm, the discussion about the role of religion in our culture came to define significantly the temper of our times.
A subset of this discussion, are the debates among atheists themselves. The question between [...] - Alternate way to solve print problems in Windows Vista

Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous - Clear the print que in Vista
From time to time I have trouble with my printer. A job won't print and gets stuck in the que. I figured out how to fix it:
Go to Vista's control panel
Click Administrative Tools.
Double-click Services.
Find the Print Spooler in the list.
Right click and stop the Print Spooler.
Right Click and restart the Print Spooler.Try printing.

- Oh Cadel
Here's the quote from VN: "“This is for all the critics I’ve had this season,” Evans said." In a nutshell this is why I'm not a Cadel fan. However I can still appreciate and be very impressed with his ride today in Switzerland. It was astute, ballsy and oozed panache. He showed patience, played off [...]
- The results are in and I’m not on crack
It’s not a statistically valid sample size, but my ‘price of an onion’ poll is done and I can now say I’m not on crack. At my little local grocery store I paid $1.50 for a single large white onion. I said nothing, but inside my head I was shocked at the price, so shocked [...]

This ‘cross video is really well done.

Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous - George Orwell’s rules
I clipped these from a bookmark I made last week — they’re so good they deserved a post. Orwell’s six rules for writing are very applicable to copywriting for the web:
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech that you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short [...] - 8 Years, $167 Million and nothing to show for it
Wow, I’ve seen some government IT failures, but never anything like this:
“He cited VA’s failure to develop a system to schedule patient appointments at its hospitals as a prime example of what the department must avoid. VA has been building the system for eight years at a cost of $167 million, without delivering even a [...] - Just doing a little light reading #GoC #pwgsc

Posted via web from 7thgroove’s posterous - The management philosophy of Jim Buckmaster
Listen to what users want. Try to make the site faster and better.
Hire good people. “We work hard trying to get the right kind of folks.” It pays off: they hardly ever leave.
No meetings, ever. “I find them stupefying and useless.”
No management programmes and no MBAs. “I’ve always thought that sort of [...] - mmmm goodness
Today I had a headache, Sheri said its probably because I eat like crap. All I had today was coffee and lemonade. She said go make yourself a nutritious smoothy. So I did.

A buddy sent me a link to Claire Martin's photography. Wow, very nice. It's dark, she photographs poverty in Vancouver–but they are amazing images.
Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous - Organizations must cede power
Wow… even Jakob is starting to talk like this:
"Organizations must cede power. Using Web 2.0 technologies to communicate with customers has taught many companies that they can no longer control the message. This also rings true when using Web 2.0 tools for internal communication. Companies that once held to a command-and-control paradigm for corporate messaging [...]

- Great quote from Jared Spool
When talking about iPhone usability and ‘cool new technology’ in general Spool had this to say : “Right now all the apps are so cool that you’re willing to learn them. And as long as people are willing to lean … at that point usability really doesn’t matter.”

For the next 12 days I’m going to be blogging and twittering here www.twitter.com/wqwheelers and here www.wqwheelers.com . I’m off to Martinique with John Large and 6 bikers for the Tour de Martinique. John’s a bit of a Ottawa cycling legend, he’s always been a guy I’ve admired, respected and felt was a mentor to me.

- Nationals in la Beauce
Most of the former s-club has reunited in St. Georges de Beauce for the 2009 Canadian Cycling Championships. I’m here with guest directing for the Kelly Benefit Strategies Pro Cycling team. It doesn’t feel to different as 3 of the four Kelly guys are former s-clubbers. It’s been great to get to know Dave V [...]

I’ve never downloaded a ringtone before, have you? Is it fun?

- Ummm not sure…
Umm I’m not sure I do much of this when travelling… Service Canada suggests you do this when preparing to travel:
1. Apply for a Passport
Check. don’t leave home without it.
2. Research the Country You are Planning to Visit
Sort of. I read the wikipedia page, if that counts.
3. Apply for a Visa
No. Never.
4. Research Required Vaccinations

Yesterday the Volta Cataluyna started . Sheri and I headed out to the Costa Brava with Amber, Katie and Courtenay to watch the 3.5km technical prologue. We connected with GB after the stage to have some snacks and a chat. It was a long day of superfanning. Not sure what we are going to get up [...]
