- 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 [...]

- 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 [...]

- 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 [...]

- 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 [...]
- 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 [...]

- 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 [...]

- Stunning photographs of Vancouver
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 [...]

- 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.” Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

La Reine des classiques, l’enfer du nord or hell of the north. No one day race awes bikers quite like Paris-Roubaix and all over north America we have knock off races. Ottawa has one in Almonte, a cool region north of the city. Sheri and Steph completed their first ever Paris Roubaix (Almonte). Better than [...]
- LinkedIn Groups
I've been tracking some LinkedIn Groups lately. The marketing ones seem filled with post spam, mostly recruiters trying to fill opportunities. It's a bit frustrating. I still think there is a lot of potential value in LinkedIn, and the 10 ways to use LinkedIn post is still a goodie. Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous
- Rogers – WTF?
When I read stories like this … I wonder if its all a big diabolical plan at Rogers – the worst wireless company on the planet ? Or maybe consumer demand has forced them to grow too quickly and they simply can't keep up, they're disorganized and whatnot. I tend to think the first, it's diabolical. [...]

That runs as a little service and [...]
