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.

Has Guitar Hero Changed My Ears?

January 04, 2008  /  jules kivell

I happily include myself in the thousands of Canadians who got Guitar Hero III for the Wii this Christmas. The Wii came back in July (thanks Keri and David!!!!), theoretically we were one of the early Wii adopters north of the 48th parallel. :-)Now, after playing off and on for the pask week, both the Wiz and I are suffering from GH Ear. GH Ear happens when you are *not* playing Guitar Hero - you're doing normal, everyday things, and you happen to hear a song, a commercial, a tune, something off the radio and all of a sudden you are analyzing the song for it's Guitar Hero Play-ability. Songs sound different now. The guitar components have moved to the front and centre of the action. Lyrics are secondary. Your hands move on the imaginary frets, trying to determine the complexity of the notes and the strumming required. You wonder if you can capture enough notes in a row to qualify for *Star Power*.Hey.... did you just hear that?  Wouldn't that song be excellent on Guitar Hero?
