, I am now on a company’s board of directors. It’s for cam.org, a small non-profit community-oriented ISP here in Montreal, which also happens to have been the first public ISP here many years ago. Should be fun, though I should try to learn a bit more about the ISP business pretty quickly.
Much hilarity from
the government subsidy file as well. The Montreal Gazette reported today about E-Commerce grumblings, which is about how unhappy developers are at a plan to develop “E-Commerce Place” and give subsidies to businesses that locate there (there’s a Tilden car rental place in the location now, right around the corner from the Molson Center). Thing is that the business that are currently succeeding here are doing so in spite of gov’t intervention, not because of it. Plus, we already have the Cit du Multimedia.
I saw the most
ridiculous little tidbit in Wired News today: GE to Dot-Coms: ‘Game Over’. Uh, right. If dot-coms get into trouble it will be mostly of their own making (lame business plans, no biz plans, high costs, egomania, etc.) not cause GE decided to jump in.
In the Economist
, Thrills and spills, the first article in its e-entertainment survey. “The digital revolution in entertainment was expected to sweep all before it. But so far it has proved somewhere between a disappointment and a disaster.”
Much more interesting
is the article ‘Do not forget ideas are also weapons’ by Subcomandante Marcos.
Introduced by the following “The purpose of this text is to fuel the debate between right and leftwing intellectuals. It does not attempt to explain the relation of either with governments or changes in society.”
