This is the third time I’ve sat down to write this, going from thinking it didn’t make sense to have a separate profile for your business, to you should probably secure your brand’s profile, to a challenge to do something interesting on the Internet. We’re posing more questions than answers. Can having an inactive (or seldom active) account look...
Read more →Recently Eastlink bought out The Coast’s homepage. People got paid to make this happen and it doesn’t look like much thought went into it. The ads are static as you scroll down, too. Dear The Coast: C’mon, you’re the cool one. Like, the hippest publication in Halifax. Of course you need to make money. I know times are tough...
Read more →The delay announcement came. The iPad wasn’t coming to Canada until the end of May (28th). So, we just had to sneak one in early. We’ve been using it for about about a month now and it’s pretty much what we expected: awesome display, very thin, fast, and a really long battery life – so much so that you...
Read more →I read this great post on “moving the ball forward” on The 99% a while back (actually the whole site is great, recommend spending some time there, especially the videos). We’ve been using the term pretty regularly since then, plus you know, it’s some cool business lingo we all know and love. Essentially, the ball (responsibility) always has to...

Today, the favicon is still a mystery to many. There are numerous websites on the topic, some with content far overreaching anything a favicon could ever...
Read more →The first weekend on the BBQ and a Sunday afternoon in working, we made the Big Fat Greek Burger. A 1/2 pound beef patty with feta and kalamata olives topped with a balsamic pico de gallo. It worked fantastically. And it was delicious.
Read more →hi there reports on the second of the Hub Talks on the recent trip of NS delegates to the climate change discussions in Copenhagen. We interview Tracy Boyer before the talk about how they’re planning to share the discussion with people outside The Hub and get a rundown on how it went. Learn more about The Hub and stay...
Read more →Clearly this is a path, one that people use a lot. A popular spot to enter the Superstore just off Barrington Street, we use it every time we go (aside form these super muddy situations). Here’s the problem: poor user experience. Superstore should make a path, paved or gravel or something permanent.* And clear it in the winter when...
Read more →So as per our last post, we’ve got lolstock running on Tumblr. It was set up as a “secondary” or “group” blog, which is another blog(s) under your main account. The benefit was that 1) I already had an account and 2) you can add multiple contributers (but only to secondary blogs, another weirdism). Now the trouble, as we...
