MojoPAC computer to go

Check out this new MojoPAC sounds too good to be true!

Yahoo Mail down! :-(

Yahoo Mail went down this afternoon, and I was just finally able to log back just a few minutes ago. It's funny...I just finished saying...."Yahoo is great...it never goes down" and here it's down for a good 8 hours! Nothing coming up in search engines, either....strange.

Snow on the mountains around Whitehorse

It's been getting colder, and I'm glad I finished staining the deck because there was snow on the mountains this morning! All the rain we've had and will be getting will turn into snow up higher, I'm pretty sure.

Fall is here!

Yesterday we had wind, hail, rain, and hey, even a little sun as well! Nighttime temperatures are dipping down close to freezing, but looking at the next 15 days, it's going to be warm for a little while longer yet. Maybe I can even finish staining the deck!

Meet the Dalai Lama or Chinese reps?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like how Monte and Jason are meeting with the Dalai Lama in Vancouver, and putting off talks with Chinese officials. This may be the last and only time I say this, but good choice this time.

Free music downloads (but...)!

SpiralFrog has cut a deal with Universal music to allow free downloads! Apparently the deal's for one year, so we'll have to wait and see, and they're going to launch December 2006. I hear that CD burning and iPod use will not work, and users need to visit SpiralFrog at least once a month to keep their subscription going.

Also in development is QTrax, a free and legal P2P service.

It's good to see music provided the way consumers want...free, free, free!!

House for a paperclip!

Congratulations to Kyle Macdonald for getting a house for a red paper clip! I think his adventure shows the social networking potential of the Internet!
