As far as Canada goes, the winters in Calgary are pretty nice. I've lived in the Yukon, Nova Scotia and I grew up in the lower mainland of BC, but I'm in Calgary now and have been for a couple of years. Definitely prefer it here

I've seen a few of these stories that assert Hiroshima lost his account. That misrepresents things a little. What actually happened is he was blackmailed into changing his username; his Twitter account, including his tweet history, f

It seems pretty harsh to do it this way, but from the sounds of things these were pretty sweeping layoffs ("hundreds" is what's being said). Doing it on a personal level probably wasn't even remotely viable, even just i

I actually live only 10km away from where I work, and my commute amounts to less than an hour per day. I'm at the office by 0700 and I leave sometime after 1700. My work situation deviates significantly from a programmer's "standard" in a
