For its 25th annual awards, the Razzies — which recognizes the worst
achievements in film — has named the Commander in Chief as a contender
in the worst actor category for his “performance” in the Michael Moore
documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Dubya also received a nod for worst
screen couple for appearing with Condoleeza Rice and the book “My Pet
Goat.”
As Charles Leadbeater points out in Fast Company: We are in the middle of an Amateur Revolution. The article is based on Charles’ Pro-Am Revolution Report. This revolution extends to any space of our lives.
George Kirikos dug up that the COM/NET Registry VeriSign GRS is making another attempt at offering expiring domain names at the registry level: VeriSign to auction deleting domains
While I was just on the phone with Union Gas in order to get our security deposit applied as a credit to our account, they informed me that our builder (Mattamy) never had the gas installation in the house inspected.
I guess is similar to the final occupancy inspection, which also took place six months after we had already moved in.
Well now once again I need to figure out a time when I will be home
during the day (and of course their time frames are 4 hour windows) in
order to have the gas installation inspected. I should ask the builder
for compensation for the lost time. I wonder if there’s some other
hidden surprises like that to be expected from Oakville Hydro.

i@m.fm (Frank Michlick) :: Permanent street sign: Mattamy is late
Before I forget: Mattamy had finally installed the new street sign. But
first there was a spelling (spacing) mistake on it, which has been
corrected by now.
Maybe one day they will also straighten the street lights etc… Don’t
forget, when you buy a new home you live on a building site for a
couple of years 
FYI:
I have decided to shut down one of my experimental sites as the domain comes up for renewal:

This will also allow me to focus on more important projects.
This was one of the movies we watched over the holidays – and we
enjoyed it. This is good entertainment if you want to escape from our
reality.
The graphics and effects are just great in the movie and so is the
humour. The fish resemble the actors and fit very well with their
voices and there are some hidden jokes in there as well. Don’t expect
any references to any political issues or so… I enjoyed watching it.
… and changes their advertising policies for affiliates. Basically
they will now have to create an additional landing page instead of
redirecting the user directly to eBay, for example.
The additional effort of creating a landing page will most likely cut
out some of the part time affiliate advertisers, while some of the
larger ones will stick around – possibly automating the creation of the
landing pages.
However the landing pages could also be a source for additional
information and comparison to related prodcuts, in this case it might
turn out to be a win/win. In general Google and the end user will
benefit from higher quality advertising, if this is what this change
will bring.
The next question is if/how it will affect the actual commission/sales numbers of the affiliates.

Looks like something scr*wed up the font settings on some of my posts
below – I guess one of the few curses that come with the use of a
comfortable richt text editor. Maybe eventually I will figure out what
went wrong.
As you can tell I am still catching up 
It was reported all over the place – Tulip computers announced their intention to sell the Commodore brand.
Tulip press release: TULIP COMPUTERS SELLS COMMODORE TO YEAHRONIMO MEDIA VENTURES INC.
Yeahronimo press release: TULIP Computers sells Commodore to YMV Inc.
Once more this poses the question about the future of the brand and how
endagered sites are that use the name. Also there is no word what
happenes to the exclusive license Tulip Computers granted to Ironstone Partners Ltd.
