    I know this is a little off track for the Technical angle we usually take on this blog but it follows suit on my own post on the Inconvenience of Saving our Planet that I wrote about last week. A inside joke here at 2 Fat Dads.com is we’re doing it for the diapers, any…

    Now I will be the first to admit that I’m no saint when it comes to my own environmental issues. I do own a snow blower and drive 6 KM to work; I also suffer from a bad back and like to smell nice for my clients and colleagues. That said Schultzter’s recent post about…

    The downside to Twitter is don’t get context, you don’t get explanations, you don’t get the meaningful conversations that can only happen in a blog (YMMV)! So I thought I’d follow this series of tweets about gas vs. electric lawncare tools with a bit more background and discussion

    Like most Canadians my wife and I have RRSP’s and an RESP for the kids. And like most Canadians I’m not a guru, wiz-kid, or a day-trader. I make my contributions every pay cheque and put the money in some boring fund or blue-chip company and wait for retirement to come along (the sooner the…

    The Liberal party of Canada recently (today?) opened a new web site, onProbation.ca where they are discussing their ideas and have a Feedback Forum called Ask the PM. So I added a question regarding the taxation of income trusts, which is currently ranked number six and rising steadily.

    Someone, in the PRoC, has apparently manage to shanghai thousands of computers connected to the InterTubes and use them as an information gathering /surveillance device.   In the gool ol’ days of the Cold War, they simply called it spying.

    Rex Murphy did a bit on AIG last night after the news. I can’t find it online though – I guess the internet is slacking off.
