Thanks Frances. Western society seems to be changing as married couples opt for zero children without feeling pressure to confirm to the belief that marriage must mean children.

@Frances Thanks. I hadn't heard of that study. I will have to get Macleans when it comes out to read the whole article. Very interesting how society (Western at least) is changing.

I changed my mobile number before moving to the West Coast for school because I'd heard that 8's are considered lucky out here. So I say, choose a lucky number.

It is such a popular place for students to get work done or just meet to socialise. There are study rooms throughout IKB and wiki is everywhere which is cool. It is open 7am-1am and may go 24 hours this Fall.

danah boyd has email sabbaticals. When she goes on vacation, all of her emails go to the trash so she has inbox 0 when she returns. She was interviewed by CBC Radio @sparkcbc on the subject.

I've discovered web series over the last year and enjoy the indie feel and how creative the cast/participants are. I definitely am looking forward to see whether more Canadians/Canadian web series are created this year.

Good luck with your own web series Casey - http://www.acomicbookorange.com/

Thanks. I want to make in multimedia, using video, photos, and text - may occasionally break out into song :P to tell story.

I started following this plane when it was the A-3XX in pre-production. I wonder how it is affected by the recession. I also don't know if due to politics (Boeing) whether any of the American airlines use them. I don't think so.

I really love Airbus and like the A-330. 747 just rocks though. Can't really replace it.

Re: SlideShare’s April Fool’s Prank: Cruel, Or Just Unusual?

Reading the comments amuses me as much as the prank itself...lol. It appears that many people take themselves wayyy too seriously. I don't do business with people who don't have an ability to laugh at themselves....they scare me.

I don't know what the "rules" are about April Fool's Jokes as I have never understood them. It is more of a challenge today it seems, especially when combined with social media where the reach is extended beyond your classroom, work, or home. Receiving an email about my enhanced views sounded believable and I didn't think it was a joke but a bug as the views numbers where not consistent across the different pages that showed my slides.

I'm sure next year, Social Media companies will reconsider the value of an April Fool's Joke beyond the internal confines of their office.

What I like about chi.mp is that it allows me to finally have a cool Open ID.

During the day it is so packed people sit on the floor to use their laptop and read. It will hopefully be 24 hours soon. As exams are upcoming I'm avoiding it as I feel bad taking a space when I can work in my rez.

It was related to some medication I was taking at the time. It only lasted a short period and I don't seem to have any side effects.
