10 years of Facebook humour
As I was searching around my Facebook settings the other day, I noticed that there was a section that allows you to download your whole Facebook archive of posts and pictures. So I did that and noticed that I’ve posted some pretty funny stuff since I joined in 2007.
An evening with The Woz
Steve Wozniak (a.k.a. The Woz) was one of the keynote speakers at yesterday’s Fuzenation Technology & Music Summit in Kitchener, Ontario.

The dawn of personal computing
