Katrina

Could be the perfect storm. The satelite picture basically shows the whole of the Gulf covered in cloud. The fastest way to keep updated is, surprise, Instapundit. Looks like Glenn is updating here.
MSM will have pictures and storm tracks and the like; bloggers will have this
I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and we are […]

Canadian Bullet locked and loaded

August 29, 2005 | 2 Comments

The Canadian Bullet has been running for nearly a month now. Still lots of minor tweaks to do. Still some feeds which are rendering the full text of people’s posts rather than the exerpts I am aiming for. And still the annoying Firefox flicker. But as a proof of concept these last few weeks […]

Gas attack

Aaron over at Grandinite writes,
So the Liberals are going on an Anti-American tirade in order to get more support from Ontarians, eh? Under the guise of sticking it to the big, bad bald eagle to the south, the Liberals could slap an export tax on natural gas, the fountain from which Alberta gets […]

Yipee…Flicker fixed

August 27, 2005 | Leave a Comment

For the last month I have had what I have learned is the Firefox flicker making my life miserable. The objective at The Canadian Bullet and the American sites, and soon the rest of the aggregators, was to provide a quick hit for people who want to keep track of the blogosphere, left and right […]

Herling

August 25, 2005 | 8 Comments

Andrew, over at Bound by Gravity, takes a run at David Herle, Martin’s chief strategist. I commented:
Herle may be insufferable but he knows what he is doing. He left Harper looking dazed and confused when he went negative early in the last election. (And, with respect Andrew, Martin never had a significant chance at […]

Socar has a new look

August 24, 2005 | 1 Comment

I can’t see either of the nudists tonight, not the computer one or the skinbag one. They’ve both got their blinds open, though, as per usual. I don’t like them having their blinds open. It gives them too much scope for surprise appearances. One could be checking for them: “Nudist A…clear! Nudist B…cle–oh, dear God!” […]

Radio Zero - II

August 23, 2005 | Leave a Comment

The Zerb writes,
Some workers fear that, by competing with CBC, they’ll be signing their own death warrant. That’s the more pessimistic view. I believe it will show CBC that there are other ways to reach Canadians — especially those hard-to-reach young Canadians — that have eluded CBC management until now.antonia zerbisias
Now, if the CBC […]

Radio Zero

Peter Tupper has an excellent article up at Tyee on the locked out CBC workers using podcasts and the net to continue to keep the CBC alive.
Labour disputes usually involve workers separated from the means of production. In the information economy, the means of production is the same as the workers, who take their names […]

In Which Pooh discovers another part of the forest

August 22, 2005 | 4 Comments

Via Daveberta: It appears that Blankout Times has ceased publication and been grabbed by a vile Blogger spammer. While I think the whole Blogger “flag this blog as objectionable” idea is going to be trouble, and have my own rather deep issues with Blogger, I suspect Pooh would be a very grateful bear if you […]

Peak What?

August 22, 2005 | 7 Comments

The Sunday Magazine in the New York Times has climbed aboard the “peak oil” donkey cart. And been whacked right off by Steven Levitt the Freakonimist.
The onset of triple-digit prices might seem a blessing for the Saudis — they would receive greater amounts of money for their increasingly scarce oil. But one popular misunderstanding about […]
