Montreal has brains?
Wow, we’ve reached almost 40 comments in the Montreal+Brains convo– easily the hugest amount of comments I’ve ever gotten on one post. It’s actually kind of great to hear people so interested in the subject of developing community. For those of you that aren’t from Montreal– I suspect we have here a certain culture of…

Montreal… needs… brains……..
Updated below Seems Google is hiring for offices in Montreal, and looking to employ 200-300 people. I’m not an engineer, so it’s not like I want to go there, but I’m still really excited, and it has something to do with Hugh and Boris, interestingly. Basically, the idea is as follows: in other cities, nerds…

Socks instead of napkins
Yesterday, I had lunch with Justin Evans of Stress Limit Design– otherwise known as the social media company that doesn’t really have a website. For some reason, the restaurant we were eating at, a self-described “atypical French restaurant,” used socks instead of napkins. The food was incredible though– it’s one of those secret out of…

Sales sharks and minimum wage
How to subscribe. Woo! I did an oldschool style show. Made evident is my hatred of salespeople, the joke that is minimum wage, and other such things. [audio:http://m.podshow.com/media/170/episodes/47111/inoveryourhead-47111-01-24-2007.mp3] Direct download link Godaddy promo codes

Hungry for a month
Evan is a weird guy. In November, he survived on $1 of food per day. In December, he drew one cartoon a day. Not sure what he’s doing this month yet, but I’ll follow it.

And so begins a lifelong love of land art
I was introduced this week to the absolutely fascinating Andy Goldsworthy, some of whose work is pictured at right. What he builds is probably among the most fascinating work I have ever seen. Land art is work that has been set free from the boundaries of galleries, and set free by natural conditions such as…

The right to online anonymity
How to subscribe. Since the update to WordPress 2.0.7 is now done, I can upload this lovely file I created. This week I ended up walking all around a few Montreal subway stations, chatting to a portable recorder and playing no music aside from recording Peruvian buskers. Don’t hate.

Up to WordPress 2.0.7
The Librivox blog was hacked this week, along with a number of other well known SEO sites. All of them were using old versions of WordPress, so I’ve updated to the newest version– it should have all the holes plugged up. Let me know if you see anything weird.

Looking to the birds
How to subscribe. I’m currenty spending way too many hours building a Best of the Daily Source Code. I’ve found files so old, it’s crazy. And dudes, I totally keep forgetting to put album art in there, sorry. I’ll put it in next time, but this particular episode is already up, so it’s like ‘meh’.…
