Joining the herd at Tucows
This is my 3rd week at Tucows and I’ve been, apart from trying to absorb every last piece of new info into a somewhat dysfunctional brain, so far it is turning out to be a kickass company with really smart, friendly people. So far I’ve had 2 weeks of pure training, 2 presentations where everyone from the receptionist to the the VP’s get to go and the monthly speech by the CEO. There is a sense of community here and I feel at home already.
I was introduced to the Internet back in 1995, back when I was slimmer and when I still had a glimmer of innocence left. Ah the good old days!… snapping out of dream… Of course back then, I would use Tucows as the defacto shareware site. At the time, Tucows stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software. Our roots are still showing on the tucows.com website where shareware is still found, but we’re now more of a domain name wholeseller and a web services company.

Bringing out the Jackson Pollock in all of us
Check out this really neat website. It definately brings out our inner Jackson Pollock. Have fun with it and let the splatter consume you.
Did you know…
“It is what his imitators could never do, and why there are no successful Pollock forgeries: they always end up looking like…spaghetti, whereas Pollock–in his best work–had an almost preternatural control over the total effect of those skeins and receding depths of paint. In them, the light is always right. Nor are they absolutely spontaneous; he would often retouch the drip with a brush.”

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us
In the lines of Ghost in the Shell, Neuromancer, and countless others. Things that make you go hmm.
