telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

Creepy Disney Fruit

Disney-branded fruit and veggiesDisney has partnered with Imagination Farms, a produce distributor that sells cartoon-branded fruits and veggies, to fill the produce aisle with Disney-brand fruit. Other companies' characters -- SpongeBob, Taz and others -- will also appear on fruit this year.

Boing Boing: Disney-branded fruit and veggies

This development freaks me out.

Can there be any other more shameful way to exploit kids and parents and pander to their basest, commercial urges?  Sure!  Wrap a banana in SpongeBob Squarepants parephenalia... then kids will eat it!!!

Good God. The little baby jesus is crying.

What happened to to the good old days, when parents were parents, and kids were kids, and family life was not a negotiating-sitcom inspired democracy?

Eat yer damn plain banana and stop whining.
