• Google has announced it’s “fastest growing search terms for 2007″ list. Topping it was the iPhone, TMZ, Transformers, and Heroes. All the geeks on TechCrunch, however, were completely at a loss on what Webkinz and Club Penguin are (I know cause I have a younger brother!). Just goes to show how important it is to branch out of your mother’s basement… I mean, your comfort zone ;)
  • The Toronto Public Library has expanded it’s free wifi to 19 branches of it’s 99 total. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Public Library has wireless in all 21 of it’s branches. You don’t even know how convenient it actually is till you come out to Surrey with your laptop and realize that the closest hotspot is at the Starbucks. You know, the one ten blocks away near the highway with the drive-thru.
  • Tricky citizens have been trying to make a quick buck by selling that hot Vancouver 2010 mascot merchandise on eBay (much to the distaste of VANOC). But rather than trying to limit the market, the Olympic Organizing Committee has embraced the web and launched an online store. That means no more wait lists for my Quatchi plush at The Bay!
