The still un-named Toronto cyclist who lost his leg last weekend when squeezed between the rear end of a taxi and a signpost (see Taxi Driver Severs Cyclists' Leg in Violent Hit-and-Run) finally was coherent enough to give his statement to the police. The result: Sultan Ahmed, 38, of Maple, Ontario has been charged with: 1) Criminal negligence causing bodily harm, 2) Dangerous operation causing bodily harm, 3) Fail to stop at scene of accident ...

Ten days ago I posted about a lesbian couple, Anji Dmitrou and Jane Currie, from Oshawa, Canada, east of Toronto, who were assaulted by a man, a fellow parent, while they were picking up their children at school. This all happened in front of the couple's children, the attacker's children, and other children at a school. Last Friday night, 500 people showed up, including Oshawa's mayor, at a rally in support of the couple. Watch ...

The 24th Angel Forum, held at the SFU Harbour Centre, is a chance for investors and start-ups to meet, pitch and network. But it's also a chance for a look at the venture capital space as a whole. 2008 is (not surprisingly) being termed an "interesting time", given the continued credit crisis and the skittish nature of the American investment landscape. But the upside for new businesses is that inputs cost less, there's a wider ...

He spent some time talking about forms in general at the beginning, but devoted most of his ...

Once upon a time before the Web, there were user groups: clubs focused on a particular technology or platform.

Today, user groups still exist but more commonly exist in the form of less formal meetup groups. ...

Jess Brouse, from Late Night Puppeteers, just told me about their latest portfolio and experiments site. And after browsing through it, I have to say, that although the design might not be the best out there, it’s impressive from a technical point of view.
