A while back I was interviewed by email for an article in a magazine. Imagine my surprise when the journalist not only misspelled the name of the city in which my company is located - the capital of Canada - she then went on to claim that I was living in The Netherlands...
I've never looked at journalists/journalism the same way again. I mean if they get simple things like that wrong with my piddlin' little interview... I did mention that the interview was by email right?
Reporters...
Aside about reporters getting things wrong:

Re: Lequin and Science Fiction.
You should check out The Dispossessed. A fantastic SciFi book - to me it's her finest work and one of my all-time favourites.
I find it disappointing she can't deal with the changing world, but what can you do? She is about 80 now...
Re:
I'm moving into a place in Ottawa and I'm not going with Rogers or Bell. I'm going to try a company called TekSavvy.
Don't know what their service is like yet, but it had several things going for it:
1) It's not Bell
2) It's not Rogers
3) They support net neutrality
4) They have unlimited bandwidth plans
5) No contract - month by month
So I thought I'd give it a try...
