WAL-MART: the High Cost of Low Price

Friday, November 11th, 2005

Kelly and I will be hosting a screening of WAL-MART: the High Cost of Low Price next Wednesday (16 November) if you’re interested in attending. If you’re not in the area, you can search for a screening in a town near you. This should be a very interesting film and I am looking forward to watching it (especially after reading John Dicker’s The United States of WAL-MART). We have room for a total of seven to watch comfortably and RSVP’s will be taken at the screening page.

Wait for it…

A fantastic new t-shirt from J!NX.

What are they thinking?

I knew things had taken a turn for the worse when DMCA passed and media owners were discussing their desire to spy on consumers’ computers in search of illicit media, but who knew it had gotten this bad?

In 2030 Google became self-aware…

Some interesting news on the Google front: there’s been sightings of a new Google universe which looks more than a little scary, especially in light of the mockumentary-with-a-stright-face known as EPIC 2014.

What are they planning? If its present growth and expansion continues, will Google be subject to anti-trust legislation or will it claim it isn’t because it is simply aggregating content?

The only thing I know for sure is that Google-rage is going to grow.

San Francisco never looked so… tasty?

We always knew San Francisco was filled with rainbow pride, but it now seems the source was not what I expected. It reminds me of the mashed potato CN Tower scene in Canadian Bacon.
