Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
Yup, it’s Round-Up Day here at the ol’ Millsworks blog but instead of giving you a fat list of my past posts here’s my coverage on the newly introduced Canadian Copyright Bill C-61.
We knew it was coming, we knew they were gonna try and sugar-coat it and we […]

For those who don’t know 5-25-77 is a feature film about a young high school student completely obsessed with Star Wars.

.
Not to be confused with the upcoming (we hope) Fanboys - this film resonates so frickin’ strongly with my own geeked out youth. I remember seeing […]

This post is apropos of nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with the copyfight, net neutrality, free speech, fucktards, politics, puppets or any of the other crap I tend to rant on about here in this pathetic excuse for a blog.
This post is just about crap - plain and simple.
Actually, it’s about a book […]

Hopefully most of you missed what happened to these pages earlier today.

I’d been messing around with GoogleAds and AdBrite yesterday - just trying out a few things - seeing what might work and what might not in an effort to subtly eke out a few bucks from this daffy exercise of mine.
But I fucked up.
I […]

Found this over on BoingBoing.
I would never recommend this sort of behaviour for my friends and colleagues in the news media - unless they want to partake in the on-air equivalent of a lease breaking party.

This Wired report follows up on a couple of stories I posted earlier - revealing the U.S. Air Force Cyber command (which deems the internet itself as an enemy) is actively working to attain “total domination” - (their words not mine) - over every activity and and every participant on the net.
This means you.

I was […]

Gizmodo proclaims today is the 30th Birthday of SPAM - not the tasty yummy delicious canned luncheon meat - the commercial electronic shite which clutters our online lives.

Thirty years ago, on this day, you came into the world as a little misguided e-mail sent by an equipment engineer over Arpanet to promote a new line […]

I found this snorkingly funny episode of Republican Space Rangers through a Twitter post from Wil Wheaton.

Think I’m gonna go rip me the head off a chicken now.
Cheers.

I didn’t blog the other day to mark the passing of Albert Hoffman, the inventor/discoverer of LSD - although I did mark “Bicycle Day” (April 19) in my own way.
It would be remiss of me not to post something about Hoffman and his contribution to our world - there is so much to be said […]
