Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

It is all very well for ‘us’ privileged academics and students to criticise this from our comfortable, elite positions. What does this issue look like if you are on the street, with no means of income, nowhere to live, cold, hungry and ignored by the society most of the time?

Comment on It’s Three Years Before An Election…Time for an Attack Ad:: Conservative Party of Canada Attacks Third Party Leader by Linnyqat

Speaking of the robocall scandal, I thought this was a pretty sharp observation by NDP MP David Christopherson during yesterday's question period:

To make matters worse, Conservatives are now playing games with the Chief Electoral Officer. Mr. Mayrand asked to come before Parliament and report on his investigation into allegations of coordinated voter suppression by Conservative operatives. However, the Conservatives used their majority to force Mr. Mayrand to testify tomorrow, on budget day, when almost every journalist on the Hill will be locked up in a room without even their BlackBerrys. Talk about the Prime Minister's dream democracy: an electoral process the Conservatives can manipulate, our Chief Electoral Officer with no powers and all the journalists locked up.

I was surprised it didn't get more traction in the Canadian MSM (although to be fair I did hear the clip played on CBC radio news this morning. Nothing on their website that I could find, though.)

[...] 'Grave consequences' if web community doesn't switch to new address protocol (telegraph.co.uk) Image via Wikipedia “We know even now that we are at some fundamental limits of what the Internet…src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Ipv6_address.svg/300px-Ipv6_address.svg.png" alt="An illustration of an example IPv6 address" width="300" height="180" />Image via Wikipedia “We know even now that we are at some fundamental limits of what the Internet can handle,” warned University of California, San Diego processor kc claffy [sic capitalization] at the beginning of her talk at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in San Diego. “We have one big expectation—being able to innovate,” she said. “And it is unclear whether we will be able to do that.” claffy’s warnings are based on the observation that the Internet’s infrastructure is, for the most part, hidden. In the U.S. there are on the order of one hundred Internet service providers that control the fiber lines and the routers that direct traffic throughout the network. Each of these ISPs has agreements with the others to exchange traffic. In essence, these agreements say if you move my bits, I’ll move yours. However, all these agreements are not just independent and unregulated, they’re secret. Proprietary corporate information. This makes it impossible to understand how traffic will get redirected when, say, one path fails. It makes it impossible to understand just how strong the overall system is when something goes wrong. It makes it impossible to map the overall structure of the Internet (something intensely frustrating to claffy, whose job it is to map the overall structure of the Internet). And it also makes it difficult to predict how the Internet will grow. One thing is for sure, though: The Internet will continue to grow. We just don’t know if the current system for addressing content on the Internet will be able to accommodate this growth. Every location on the Internet—every web site, every user—has associated with it a specific address, called an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The current addressing system—called IPv4—has about four billion possible addresses. The Internet is expected to outgrow this batch of addresses in about two years. For decades researchers have been working on the next generation of addresses—the IPv6 system—which has approximately enough addresses to last until the heat death of the universe. But IPv6 and IPv4 are not compatible, so anyone working with a new IPv6 address would not be able to access Web sites using old IPv4 addresses. “Everyone would have to switch at the same time—Google, Verizon, everyone” claffy told me after her presentation. Yet a massive instantaneous global switchover of the Internet’s entire addressing system is, in short, unlikely. Read more . . . [...]

Comment on the espn president by andrew m. lindner

Jose – I *experience* Obama’s pop culture literacy as something new. But I’m not sure what’s different about Obama referencing Jay-Z and Bill Clinton talking about his boxers on MTV (or playing the sax on Arsenio). Clearly, some Presidents are “cooler” than others (for all his moral virtue, Jimmy Carter was profoundly uncool). But it’s hard to pinpoint what it is about Obama.

Kyle I – “particularly basketball” is right. The unmentioned issue here is the link between his racial identity and sports. That basketball and not, say, soccer is his favorite sport is important for the way the public (white and black) interprets him.

Kyle II – great point about the Internet. ESPN has been incredibly savvy in harnessing new technologies. I was recently in a social with four people simultaneously looking at the ESPN app on their smartphones.
