| Did anyone hear about the Boston scare yesterday due to Aqual Teen Hunger Force Ads?
Now they arrested the guys who installed them to save face. I think Boston should just realize that their police force are idiots for not recognizing they're ads, after all, none of the other nine cities freaked the hell out. The guys who installed them were just doing their job, seriously. | |

| Here's something interesting I came across (From January 8, 2007 on the UW Web Development Blog)
Mobile technology pilot project begins Tonight marks the start of a pilot project here at the University of Waterloo that will explore the feasibility of replacing land lines in Residence with mobile phones. There are, of course, a lot of other things we hope to learn from the project but what this first part needs to figure out is how: * How useful are mobile phones really? * How much will it cost (support, monthly service plans, device costs)? * What is the coverage like on campus, in buildings, etc? For this first pilot, we have around 50 students (half first year, half upper year) that live in residence. They get either a Blackberry Pearl or a Nokia E62 and are asked to use it as their primary device. There are a number of surveys to collect some data on how they use the devices as well as some group discussions planned. The UW home page now redirects mobile devices to a customized version that is a lot lighter than the current home page you get on your computer. It has all the elements of the home page but in chunks. This is part of a larger initiative being led by Housing and Residences to explore the use of leading edge (for Canada) technology in the living and learning spaces here at UW. I am really happy to be a part of the project team but more on the project later… I am really excited about this project and what it could lead to. Hmmm... | |

| On the topic of public transportation (for UW Students):
Federation of Students Board of Directors to call referendum on bus pass Non-refundable pass will be put to students in March 2007 WATERLOO, ON (January 22) - The Federation of Students Board of Directors has committed to call a referendum on the issue of a Universal Bus Pass in March, 2007. The unanimous decision was reached in response to clear student interest in the issue and the need to more fully prepare the service and logistical details necessary to implement a non-refundable bus pass. "The Board of Directors has seen the desire of a growing number of students to finally decide on the bus pass question," said Renjie Butalid, Vice President Administration and Finance of the Federation of Students. "Given the sizeable support as demonstrated by a circulated petition and the substantial financial implications of a bus pass, the Board is obliged to give sufficient attention to the details of how the pass would work." While it has been suggested that Council could deal with this question in February, it will take until early March to have the details needed to put the question of a non-refundable pass to students in a referendum. Over the next month, a service agreement will be further negotiated with Grand River Transit. In addition, logistics for administering the bus pass will be discussed with the University of Waterloo. "Given the time constraints, the Board of Directors will do its best to negotiate the most favourable deal for students," added Board member Kate Daley. "What is important, however, is that students will have a say this term on whether or not they want a non-refundable bus pass." The Federation of Students represents the interests of approximately 22,000 full-time undergraduate students at the University of Waterloo. -30- For further information contact: Renjie Butalid Vice President Administration and Finance Federation of Students University of Waterloo 519-888-4567 x33880 Source: Feds.ca | |
