R.C.Y.C. Trillium Regatta | From a man without letters
https://nathanbaron.wordpress.com/2006/05/30/rcyc-trillium-regatta
From a man without letters. Think, Communicate, and Create. Well things have been super busy and once again, blogging is the first thing to be pushed aside. This past weekend I was in Toronto sailing the Trillium Regatta with Paul Davis and Hal Ebert aboard Shagreen (Peter Van Rossems most excellect shark). This was the first time that Paul and I had sailed with Hal, and I think it went pretty well. As the mist burned off, the wind completely died. The Race Committee finally called it a day around 12...

The Second Life Economy | From a man without letters
https://nathanbaron.wordpress.com/2006/06/01/the-second-life-economy
From a man without letters. Think, Communicate, and Create. The Second Life Economy. There has been some interesting discussion lately about the economy in Second Life. There are quite a few people who are operating businesses in SL and the problem is that it is hard to cash out and make any money. People are also experiencing raised rates and prices because of the devaluation of currency. I simply don’t have the time to hangout in SL very much, but I am intrigued by the metaverse. Thank you so much for ...

From a man without letters. Think, Communicate, and Create. Well it is finally happening. Canadians get to see what a Conservative government is really like. This week Stephen Harper made a statement that his government would pick and choose which reporters questions they will respond to. Harper went on to say that some reporters/ news outlets had a “vendetta” against his government. What makes a good politician? A good politician can take questions from both sides, using friends to reinforce messages an...

Apple is not so Different anymore | From a man without letters
https://nathanbaron.wordpress.com/2006/06/14/apple-is-not-so-different-anymore
From a man without letters. Think, Communicate, and Create. Apple is not so Different anymore. I’ve been a big fan of the mac for a few years now. I’ve never been an Apple fanboy, and I am the first to admit that I have my fair share of problems with my macs over the years. But recently Apple have begun to grate my ethical nerves for a couple of reasons. Blogging and Social Media. Apple recently lost the case, thus granting bloggers the same rights as journalists. (At least in California anyway.). The ot...

Home Grown | From a man without letters
https://nathanbaron.wordpress.com/2006/06/05/home-grown
From a man without letters. Think, Communicate, and Create. The terrorism arrests this past weekend and the anxiety coming out of the Muslim community have got me thinking about immigration, belonging in community, and just what it means to be a Canadian living in ethnically diverse regions in Canada. This idea of ethnic enclaves is not contrary to our ideal of multiculturalism. I like to think of this as a way of people staying connected to their roots, while still participating in a larger urban en...
