zOMG!!!11
AJAX-sweetness applied to an online calendar, with a dollop of Ruby on Rails added on top.
You can drag and drop calendar items! It seems obvious, but you can't even do that in Mozilla Calendar. Plus the damn things is more responsive than iCal.
Still in beta, but if this is what two people can do in two months then Kiko has a mighty future.
However, you may have to eschew Safari for now - it works well in Firefox.

Attention whoring
No links today, just some cheap attention-whoring entertainment that appeals to my simple mind; an amusing way to waste an hour or so. Check out my own blogspace for the idea...and also to get an idea of my hours now (thank you, Mr. Horner).

Waaaaah, Yokoso Yokosu, Domo Domo
Gel TV
This has to be one of the most crazy Japanese things I have ever seen. From what I understand it a little internet TV show for you cell phone. Enjoy

A magical thing
I don't really like the environment. I just pretend to.
But poverty convinced me to try out my local tailor. She agreed to repair four items of clothing for $7.00.
Buuuuhhhhh???!!! That's amazing!!
Why go clothes shopping ever again? Except perhaps for the sweet endorphin rush that accompanies rampant consumption.

Louis Riel
Winnipeg's Louis Riel statue used to have an enormous schlong. Now he doesn't. Punk kids kept breaking it off. Now he has a ground-down Ken doll style lump.
The French complained about the disrespect implicit in a naked statue of Riel.
The French complained about the emasculation of the nationalist Riel figure.
This is a Canadian Story.

Huey Lewis
We love Huey!
Huey Lewis is, perhaps, the greatest actor of his generation.
He is also undoubtedly the most virile man. Ever.
Those of you who have been around for a while may recall a time when I sung the praises of Kim Mitchell.
Now I love Mitchell. More than a sane man should, but Mitchell fans are not this obsessive. Observe:
Daily Accounts of all things Huey: http://www.hln.org/ Weird.
Nor, for that matter, did Mitchell ever have a full-fledged fan club: http://www.thenewsline.net/ Mitchell's fan club is puny and flaccid.
Now why is Huey Lewis so god-damned awesome?
1) He goes by the boyish "Huey," not the dour "Hugh." And it's a good thing too since his real name is "Hugh Anthony Cregg, III ." No lie. In 1971 changed his stage name to 'Huey Louie' after two of Donald Duck's nephews (and this eventually evolved into 'Huey Lewis')
2) "Huey Louie" reminds us of "Louie Louie," a song we love.
3) Huey scored the film "Back to the Future."
4) Huey reminded us that it is "Hip to be Square."
5) Huey is a nerd. He scored a perfect 800 on his Math SAT. Then went into Engineering.
6) Huey then left Engineering (a wise and sensible decision) to bring us the "Heart of Rock and Roll."
7a) Huey is a film and television star: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Lewis,+Huey
"Duets," in which he plays a "Karaoke Hustler" makes me break out in a boyish grin.
7b) Huey and the boys can be booked for corporate gigs: http://www.delafont.com/music_acts/Huey-Lewis.htm
8) Huey is litigious. He successfully sued Ray Parker Jr. for the song "Ghostbusters" claiming that the song plagiarized the band's hit song "I Want a New Drug."
9) Huey Lewis is dreamy (see attachments.)
10) Huey Lewis came to represent the simultaneous optimism and conservatism of everyday Americans during the Reagan era. WE WERE HUEY LEWIS. HE WAS US. More than just "the '80s band," Huey Lewis and the News defined a generation.

Canada Tag
The Flickr Tag "Canada" brings up the terms:
"Lake, Sunset, Water, sky tree, trees, blue"
We are still defined by our natural environment, not our culture.
People don't inhabit Canada - utamed creation does.

Mitsou in The Globe and Mail
From the The Globe and Mail:
Mitsou Gelinas
The pop star/model/actress/businesswoman/radio host formerly known simply as Mitsou has a new job. Her current affairs show, Au Courant, will make its debut this evening on CBC Newsworld; te program aims to help English Canada understand Quebec. While members of the French-language media have questioned whether the 34-year-old entertainer is up to the job (one critic suggested the Bonhomme might be just as qualified), only a viewing will tell whether the CBC's latest experiment is a good idea. Which brings up the question, just what is going on over there? First MustMusic's George Stroumboulopoulos gets a show, then Mitsou. What's next? That fired drummer from Nickelback hosting The National?
