Hello, I’m a student at the University of Ottawa. The recent debate about copyright law has really hit home for me. I have seen the results of the wrong decisions in the United States, with students being sued for millions, and for what,...

I’m up tonight not because I want to be up, but because I don’t have a choice. I couldn’t sleep. I decided to go to bed early tonight, because I was tired and I had nothing to do. last night I basically stayed up until 8, and then slept until 1, so I had good reason.
This isn’t a typical can’t sleep, though. This is the result of memories coming flooding back, unable...
A small correction.
What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.
I like night time.
I write this from a street corner. Ever since one fateful night last summer, I have always enjoyed the silence of a late summer night. Except for the rogue air conditioner, and a car driving a bit too fast, it is silent.
This gives me time to thing, time to process what is not an ultimatum, not a contract, but a treaty, a ceasing of armaments of silence.
Silence is a...
Time is acting odd for me today. When I got home today, I felt as if I had been gone a very long time. I looked back at the actual time that passed, and I realized that it just seemed far back. Events that occurred the day before felt as if they were part of my distant past. They occurred, were processed, and stamped into the logbook of my life. I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised, since even...
What man has joined,

Well it looks like I’m going to be blogging on Tumblr now. I don’t like Wordpress.

Countering App Store piracy
marco:
John Gruber on Crackulous, the automated app-pirating tool for jailbroken iPhones:
I suspect we’ll soon start seeing high-profile App Store apps that attempt to detect whether they’re running on a jailbroken phone, and, if so, quit.
That’s not the best approach to counter this. It would be too easy for the crackers to find and disable the check in the apps.
The ideal piracy detection...

oh yes. Now the details of the theft are starting to come out. I knew this was a trap, but no one believed me. Why would we REWARD Wall Street for destroying the world economy? Itbwas so obvious what was going to happen, but it happened anyways. I hate this.

Bluenotes had Tegan and Sara playing today!
So I jut installed an app for my iPhone called Tumble. It’s an app solely for the use of Tumblr. It’s actually very good. It’s a lot better than the Wordpress app, which I’ll probably end up never using. I can imagine posting on Tumblr a lot more when I’m out than my real blag.
lol?

Jeremy: You want to know something funny/sad?
Jeremy: My brother used to play WoW with a lot of americans
Jeremy: who tended towards the stupid side of the spectrum
Jeremy: and in talking to them, he discovered something remarkable
Jeremy: They are all convinced that every single politician is leagues more intelligent than they are.
Jeremy: They laugh uproariously when my brother suggests that he may be more intelligent than Bush.
Jeremy: Even the worst politician is, in their eyes, far superior to a member of the public.
Jeremy: Seeing this mentality seems like a bit of an insight into the behavior of the american population, if it is widespread.

Jagged Little Pill
marco:
Sidenote: I don’t usually get into music with female singers. I don’t know exactly why, but I suspect it’s because I can’t easily sing along (it’s usually far out of my range). Or maybe I was just too self-conscious and embarrassed to like music by women. I think Allison Weiss is first female artist I’ve bought music from since Jagged Little Pill.
Yeah, I find the same thing. I’ve...
