Every day in my neighborhood there are the moving trucks. Never people arriving, always moving out, leaving, the grand exodus from Calgary continues, people on their way back to more easy going jobs and lives, the easy money's dried up and there's no end in sight.
Count the days...

Found this scrap of paper, the nephews notes for a tables order:
...and I take him to task on it, it's the writing of a madman, a lunatic, spelling aside it looks like a four year old cut out a ransom note for the family cat, I want to make a font out of it, type out my manifesto, my plan to rule the world or learn to speak European, he laughs, he gets it ...

And the email, from Microsoft, that they've made changes to their End User Licensing Agreement, which I should read and either consent to or stop using their products.
This is such a load of shit. I mean, first of all, no one ever reads the EULA, we are forced instead to follow web-zines that monitor privacy and advise us as to how our "rights" are being eroded, abused and perpetually compromised. If anyone ever read the EULA there is very little likelihood that anyone would ever buy an app or product. But even more offensive (as if this wasn't enough already) is that companies have the right - after you've purchased or subscribed to their product - to alter or change the EULA. Probably there is room to challenge this, with a crack legal team and countless millions of dollars of resources, but that edge is given to corporations, not consumers, and the corporations that provide us the product know this.
