There’s been a lot talk in the mainstream press about growing dissatisfaction regarding Facebook’s complete disregard for privacy. Prominent nerds are quitting or threatening to quit Facebook. On today’s Buzz Out Loud they suggested that if Facebook doesn’t change their course soon, this is going to be worst than the Myspace exodus.
My only question is, where are you going to go? Friendster?
Judy Wasylycia-Leis, Winnipeg’s only official mayoral candidate announced her candidacy 1/2 an hour ago.
At the time of writing, neither her official website or facebook fan page have been updated.

The most popular post on my blog to date is 5 Reasons Tim Hortons Sucks. In the post, I mentioned how terrible Tim Hortons coffee tastes. I failed to consider the actual caffeine levels of Tim Hortons.
I did some digging around and calculating, Tim Hortons coffee has an average of 0.36mg/ml of caffeine.
On the other hand, Starbucks drip coffee has approximately 0.70mg/ml, almost twice as much!
No wonder an “X-Large” cup of “Timmies” never keeps me awake.
Ps. I did not want to make this a Tim Hortons vs Starbucks issue, but McDonalds (Tim Hortons’ only real competition in Canada) does not post their caffeine content online. Home brewed coffee varies depending on your personal preference.

The obviousness of this “food hack” is what makes it so genius. To de-kernelize microwave popcorn: 1) make a small hole in the bag; 2) shake over top of a garbage can.
