Can’t tell you how happy I am to post this video of Vancouver’s punk classic Hawaii by Young Canadians. I’ve got a few more to come, which I’ll post later. Read more on Young Canadians here.

This story about AOL trying to revamp its moribund Netscape property further convinces me that the fine people at AOL are out to lunch. Netscape is dead. As a brand it might have some kitsch value in about 15 years. The world’s leading commercial internet browser for about 3 years, Netscape is one of the […]

Not a fantastic revelation, just an observation.
