The Tyee is carrying Michael Geist's succinct report about the upcoming hearings at the CRTC over the future of Internet regulation in Canada.

Mesh Potato is an Open Hardware project to create a wireless (mesh) access point that can ...

Today we tested our live streaming video and GPS tracked bike commutes, this time using a third bike to pull the wifi mesh/wimax trailer.

I exercise 5 days a week, and much of this is running. While I can be found in local gyms on occasion, I try to do as much of this running as possible for free. For in using a treadmill, with its diligent, brainless constancy, I subjugate my running activity ...
