A teenage TED speaker’s mom on how she encourages her sons to innovate | TED Blog:

I can’t make schools change, no matter how much I advocate and complain. So I gave up on that and said, “You know what? I’m not going to change that. I send them to school, they do whatever they’re going to do, and it’s not very challenging and it doesn’t promote creativity. And then when they get out of school, it’s time for parents to shine.”

One of the highlights of our recent European tour was Haley Reinhart's masterful interpretation of our vintage arrangement of Radiohead's "Creep" (originally performed on this channel by the amazing Karen Marie). I enjoyed it so much that I brought Haley into a studio in Zurich on our day off to record it. If you haven't heard Haley sing this before, get ready for a truly remarkable performance. Oh yeah- and this was the very first take.

Max Headroom: the definitive history of the 1980s digital icon | The Verge

On Thursday, April 4th, 1985, a blast of dystopian satire hit the UK airwaves. Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future was a snarky take on media and corporate greed, told through the eyes of investigative journalist Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) and his computer-generated alter-ego: an artificial intelligence named Max Headroom.

How Harper Turned Canada into a Rogue State | The Tyee

How Harper Turned Canada into a Rogue State | The Tyee

Having bet the country on expensive oil and lost, Stephen Harper is now doubling down and betting it on an election-winning war. It's an enormous gamble, and he must know how easily it could blow up in his face. He must therefore also know how bad the economy really is, and how it will worsen by October. Sooner than face certain defeat, he prefers to gamble Canadian lives and honour on a far-away war.

Mustard Seed Charity Event

I want to thank all my family that pledged money for me to jump in the water.  Although this will sound like a very lame excuse I started feeling ill on the afternoon of the jump and decided not to risk getting even sicker.

I apologize to those I disappointed but I did make a point of going out and cheering on my colleagues. I really do appreciate the fact that my family came through in such a big way!!

Please note that we did have someone from our family jump-in.....see Conrad, my Godson, in the back row.

So here are the images and video:

Hi Friends and Family,

Now's your chance to make me jump in the ocean in February!!!  Specifically tomorrow at 4 pm!!!!

The Mustard Seed is a non-profit organization fighting hunger and restoring faith in Greater Victoria. They provide many crucial services for any and all people in need. From food to friendship, they aim to meet the physical, relational, and spiritual needs of the whole person.

Anyway, if I raise over $100 (I am only at $10 now), I get the opportunity to jump in the very cold, polluted, inner harbour ocean water!!  Now I would be happy to not do it (hence the late date of this email) but I thought I should at least try to get into the top 5 at my company.  Right now there are several colleagues over a $100.

So how do you do it?  Go to our donation page: http://redbrickmedia.com/donate/

Thanks friends and family!!  I really appreciate all the donations so that you can send me into the water!!!! Please do this asap as donations only count up to 3 pm tomorrow!!

Norm Macdonald Tweeted About The SNL Anniversary & You're Gonna Want To Read Every Word: Gothamist:

Norm Macdonald was one of the many Saturday Night Live alum to return to Studio 8H this past Sunday for the show's big 40th anniversary blowout. Macdonald has been dismissed by some, and you can check Wikipedia for a list of his "awkward moments" on the show, but in truth, perhaps in retrospect, he was one of the show's greatest cast members—it's just possible that network television, even SNL, was not ready for his realness. Whatever it was, he was fired after about four years... but was eventually invited back to host.

Search Stops Here, Starts Afresh On Mobile | TechCrunch

This article starts off interesting and leads down to an inevitable path....but then stops.  It needs an ending.  Increased verticalization of searches through apps is somewhat obvious in retrospect...and Google and Apple are increasingly aggregating all these function into their OS where they can either outright purchase a service or do an integration via API's (i.e. Shazam). Arguably Google is doing this better through it's 'Google Now' functionality than Apple but not everyone is enamoured with it and find it a little bit creepy.  The question is where will this end?
