It seems tht we’ve finally gotten there. $1 CAD == $0.998925!

Hee hee… this makes me happy, even though it is just a series of fictions combined with ignorance and fear. But that’s economics.

The Canadian Council on learning has an article on Simon Pulsifer, who is well known on Wikipedia as one of the most prolific contributors/editors:

On the morning of Dec. 10, 2001—he remembers the exact date—Simon Pulsifer logged onto Wikipedia.org and wrote the internet encyclopedia’s first entry about the Central American waterway.

I’ve always encouraged my students to find holes on wikipedia that need to be filled in, particularly relating to learning and children, or to ‘fix up’ content in need of repair.

A Social Network for Google Earth?. Sounds interesting.

So where’s Google in this picture? One of the questions from the form asks you if you have a Gmail account and if you are willing to get one. The product’s name is “My World” and the logo shows a globe - this could be related to Google Earth. Google also owns a 3D modeling software that could be used to create avatars.
