No news is not good news.

I had been waiting patiently for my OLPC shipping email, but it seems there is a problem. It sounds like Canadian donors have been left out of the delivery schedule for G1G1. Not too impressive. Guess the kids in Kisumu will not be getting a classroom resource.

Saying Goodbye to BC Salmon

Four years from now wild pink salmon may vanish from Canada's Broughton Archipelago, a new study warns.

The killers, according to the research, are sea lice from fish farms.

Scientists previously demonstrated that juvenile wild pink salmon often catch lethal sea lice infestations when they swim through areas where salmon are raised in open-net farms.

Now for the first time researchers have used a data-driven model to calculate the impact on the wild salmon population.

>> Hey, Lobby to ban open-net farms! Stop eating farmed salmon!

Vote for Mr Splashy Pants!

It's not a name that's going to fit in a Waits track, but "Mr Splashy Pants" is the most popular proposed name for a humpback whale that Greenpeace is tracking. In fact, he's massively ahead in polling with 76% of the vote. A Mr Splashy Pants "T" would be a great Christmas Present (Neal).
