Happy hump day, kittens! We made it safe and sound to a new base of operations in deepest, darkest Kitsilano and are reporting live from our bunker overlooking … well, pretty much all of Vancouver. So if the Gore-Tex vs… Read More ›
Happy Thursday, kittens! Time to plug in and light up your life with all the top news from around the web. We’re working on weaning ourselves off of paywall sites, but FP is hard to give up. Feel my… Read More ›
TGIF, kittens! Raise a yellow umbrella and a cup of a cheering beverage to the end of the work week and the start of…a weekend of recovery from the work week? Sure, let’s go with that. The tear gas continues… Read More ›

We might as well make Ferguson its own column here, as half the daily links seem to be Fergified. Mind you, if they keep arresting the reporters, there will soon be less Ferguson news. Police Officer to Media in Ferguson:… Read More ›
With no hacker conference this weekend, the news roundup will be sparser than it has been lately; not so many companies rushing to patch holes featured at presentations, you see. Not so many presenters announcing news bombs like “1.4 billion… Read More ›
