Hulleye Comes By!

from slashdot:

“The Globe & Mail and Fortune Magazine both wrote a piece on Google, arguably one of the most important companies in the world, and its influence and impact on the Internet. In particular, they mention the effects of Google’s recent new services, like Blogger and Maps, as well as their take on how Google threatens the Microsoft Corporation. “If Sergey and Larry stick to their corporate mantra — Don’t be evil — and are able to stem degeneration into the typically corrupt corporate ethos, who knows, they may just succeed in assuming the fair and honourable dominion over the world’s information they so naively set out to achieve eight years ago in their garage.”"

whichever of you don’t have a gmail account yet, let me know. gmail just did something much cooler than revamping email.

there’s a new feature in gmail called Web Clips, which displays little headlines above your inbox or message and is fed via, um, feeds.

it looks like this.

you can add your own feeds and/or choose from their selection. it also swaps between feed headlines and ads, which is pretty clever, because it gets you looking at the ads a lot more.

Death in the Garden of Paradise

on the 25th of April at 6:45pm at the Royal Ontario Museum Theatre.

A film based on the deaths of painter, Zahoor ul Akhlaq and dancer Jahanara Akhlaq, who were murdered in their home in Lahore, Pakistan on January 18th, 1999. The camera roams through spaces of the home and city: through markets, shrines, mythic paradise gardens, and a necropolis in the desert. In interweaving paintings, documentary footage, dance videography and still photographs, the film comprises an intensely personal memoir on culture, dislocation and mortality.

Tickets are available through the Hot Docs box office.
