• uc/c principal Lucas Warren has a new piece in Alberta Venture magazine about the current state of the Red Deer Regional Airport and its opportunities for growth. (more...) //
• At the risk of getting a little too artsy-fartsy, I thought that this piece by zach gage was interesting as both an art installation and a commentary on online life and information. (more...) //
• This is a box out of uc/c's article "Are we there yet?", an article about the current state of Alberta’s SuperNet project. Lucas Warren talks to Graham Fletcher, President of the Internet Centre, a Canadian ISP fighting to bring high-speed connectivity to rural Alberta in an innovative (and currently unapproved) method. The entire article was originally published in the Summer 2009 issue of the AAMDC’s Rural Routes magazine. (more...) //

• The countdown to the Twitpocalypse is on. Actually, it's been on for awhile. And like the apocalypse, it's been predicted more than once. Given, however, the recent (and ongoing?) DDoS attack on Twitter more attention is being paid to the services limitations and, more importanltly, it's open-source alternatives. Wired has a good explaination of the situation in its article "Open Source ‘Twitter’ Could Fend Off the Next Twitpocalypse". (more...) //
