Help Us Pick Our New Car!
I’m a big fan of crowdsourcing. In fact, it’s probably one of my favourite aspects of “the new internet”. I use the conglomerated knowledge of the internet for lots of things, and now I think I will use it for one more: helping Marc and I choose a car. With his new job, Marc wants to use this opportunity to sell his 10 year old Pontiac Firebird and get something a little more suited to his current lifestyle. He loves his car, but recognizes that it is not exactly...

Physical music far outdoing digital music in Japan
As I read mostly English-language web sites and having heard stories such as 40% of US purchases being bigital, when I came across this survey from Media Interactive, reported on by japan.internet.com, into music, I was quite surprised to see the data for Japan, especially since this is an internet-based sample that would be expected to have a bias towards online shopping. Demographics Over the 1st and 2nd of March 2010 exactly 1,000 regular music listeners completed an internet-based...

Acer AS5740-15
It was time to get a new computer since the previous one was going to turn 6 years old. I scoured the internet and electronic stores around the area trying to find the best deal. Since my internet service is pretty crappy, I was also looking to change it as well and work out some kind of discount. Luckily, a huge electronics store behind Nagoya station called Bic Camera had just such a deal.Most of the best deals could be found on the internet by ordering direct from the maker but no one...

Italy ? The Reality Show
What with election shenanigans, media manipulation investigations, and other fun and games, those watching Italy could, perhaps, be forgiven for thinking that Italy is one huge great reality show.

Getting internet in France
Before the internet was developed France had the Minitel. This slowed development of the internet in France, but over the last decade French internet has caught up with the rest of the world and is now arguably faster than in some other countries–particularly in Paris where the population density and sewer system facilitated the development of ADSL lines. Whether coming to France for a week or for the rest of your life, logging on couldn’t be easier. Internet Cafes still exist If...

What Have We Learned So Far'
Where we discover that the Internet is a scary place, and it's eating our faces off. Slither on after the jump. Well it's hardly newsworthy to learn anything after two weeks, and in truth, I've not really learnt anything new. It's nice to be reminded of some technical jargon and a few theory names, but aside from that, the only groundbreaking thing to note is that the INTERNET IS A SCARY DAMN

Bourcet... the plains calls the mountains and some surprising treats
I so forget that going to Italian events are sometimes not exactly what I am expecting. I don't always pay close attention to the details before hand and Fabrizio can be a little thin on the explanations as well, so they tend to be a surprise or at least have some surprising elements to the events. With a rather oblique title as the plains calls to the mountains, we headed out of our valley to the plains to celebrate the mountains. I concluded it was an eating event. I wasn't really sure...
