"Internet governance historically has been the role of the United States, because it created the original system and funded much of its early development."

"Western countries that got onto the Internet first gobbled up most available addresses required for computers to connect, and left developing nations to share a limited supply."

"In 1998, the U.S. Commerce Department selected ICANN, a private organization with international board members, to decide what goes on those lists. Commerce kept veto power, but indicated it would let go once ICANN met a number of conditions. But earlier this year, the United States indicated Commerce would keep that control, regardless of whether and when those conditions were met."

"It has to be done in an appropriate way, so that nobody thinks it is a backdoor approach to have intergovernmental regulation for something that ought not to be regulated," Gross said."

So the Commerce department with veto power is regulating the internet, but intergovernmental regulation violates the not to be regulated internet? I don't like this Gross character already.

Locke & Rousseau

John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for whom the characters John Locke and Danielle Rousseau are named, were both famous social contract philosophers who dealt with the relationship between nature and civilization. Locke believed that, in the state of nature, all men had equal right to punish transgressors; to ensure fair judgment for all, governments were formed to better administrate the laws. Rousseau, on the other hand, argued that man was born weak and ignorant, but virtuous. Only after man develops society does he become wicked. This is paralleled by the characters on Lost: Locke embraces both nature and the need for organization among the survivors, while Rousseau prefers nature and appears to abhor joining the survivors in their village.

After I spent a summer tree-planting in Northern Ontario, I thought about the natural progression to become a forest firefighter. The experienced planters I knew took training courses when the planting season ended in preparation for the fires that are sure to come during mid-to-late summer. This "training" included learning how to wrap yourself in a fire-retardant blanket as protection from the flames.

By most accounts, it is a step below going to Alaska and crabbing on the crazy job meter, but it’s the next thing to do for many grungy and smelly college-aged kids.

Since then I've seen documentaries which have highlighted the extreme dangers of forest firefighting, which primarily consists of trying not to get surrounded by fire due to changes in wind direction, fuel sources, etc. This picture illustrates just how determined wildfires can be.

Glad I stayed in Kingston and painted houses the next summer.

During the can't-get-here-soon-enough season premiere of 'Lost' last night, Eyewitness News just happened to capture images of a potential real-life plane crash. Very eerie. Almost as if abc had reporters staked out at airports all across the country. No better way to get people hooked on a post-airplane disaster show than having a real life airplane disaster happen during the commercials. Which is when the network would break in with the landing gear story. Usually advertising trumps breaking news. But not Lost night.

And Jetblue was sure quick to respond, getting 30 second spots on during the second half hour of the broadcast. Supposedly passengers on the plane were watching the drama unfold in the headrest in front of their faces. That dynamic should find its way into a future Hollywood blockbuster, if it hasn't already.

I guess I'm a geek for 'Lost' because some of the gear is kinda nice.

I love my ECKO messenger/DJ bag. But anyone like me (who uses a messenger type bag) knows the strain on one shoulder versus no weight on the other can make life uncomfortable. Enter bumbakpaks. Great concept. But a safety reflective stripe on a camo bag is just abit too ironic for me not to diss.

Can you help me discover more music that I'll like?

"Whenever you buy something on Amazon there are those handy little lists that tell you what other people like you are buying. Sometimes they throw up some fascinatingly obscure choices. You like the Will Young album? Why not try a little Pink Grease? Some 65daysofstatic? Others just make you recoil in horror.

Working on this hit-and-miss premise is Pandora, a fantastic little device that lets you make up your own free-to-listen radio station. The idea's pretty simple: put your favourite band in to the search, and Pandora suggests a few other bands you might like. You rate the ones you approve of, slate the ones you don't, and keep adding search options until your playlist is crammed with goodies.

September 24, 2005 is gonna be sweet - The Shins, Brendan Benson, and the White Stripes in Brooklyn. This might be the best 3 act line-up I've been to in a long time. Shit, it might be best ever. Hopefully Brendan and Jack will bust out with some of their new collaborative project tunes. If they don't I'll be very disappointed.

Toronto Star has a blog. To be precise, the Star has many blogs, but I'm only interested in their hockey blog. So far, Steen is impressing, big time. Brad Brown is disappointing. And Telly, short for Tellqvist, has nice pads. But, who is Colin Murphy?

And speaking of puns, today's crossword from the Washington Post had this fine example as a clue; "My bike won't stand up. It's two tired."

Two birds flew in the morning light
Moving in the new born sky
Made their way across the town
Never afraid of looking down

Two birds flew in the morning sky
Moving in the new born light
Heading north to get back home
Side by side, but all alone.
