    Canada Post issue is much bigger than door-to-door delivery

    by W. Andrew Powell December 11, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell December 11, 2013

    The media seems to be stuck in a rut when it comes to the news announced today revealing that Canada Post service and pricing would be changing in 2014 and further into 2015. Nearly every major outlet I have seen today keeps talking about the fact that door-to-door delivery is going to cease to exist by 2015, and that is a big deal, but they’re missing the biggest issue, if you ask me. Also announced was the fact that, starting in March 2014, Canada Post is going to begin charging 85 cents for a stamp, if you buy them in bulk, and a whopping dollar, if you buy them singly.

    Rant: The ‘Ender’s Game’ debate

    by W. Andrew Powell July 11, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell July 11, 2013

    The first person who tells me that we all should ban Ender’s Game, because of something the writer, Orson Scott Card, did or said, can go stick a fork in their ear, because that’s what I believe they should do. Now, hopefully, my beliefs won’t override this person’s own good sense, and they’ll decide that maybe my opinion doesn’t matter enough to stick a fork in their ear.

    Thankfully, I believe the same thing.

    Flag on the play at 100th Grey Cup

    by W. Andrew Powell November 25, 2012
    by W. Andrew Powell November 25, 2012

    It always seems like people make things way more difficult than they need to be. Today, although I had planned on it, one needlessly complicated incident meant that I didn’t end up covering the 100th Grey Cup, and I have to admit that I am hugely disappointed.

    The legacy of Steve Jobs

    by W. Andrew Powell October 5, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell October 5, 2011

    The social media world, and the news at large, is sounding the death knell of Steve Jobs, Apple’s co-founder, greatest CEO, and one of the men who led Pixar in its early days, and it seems like it’s impossible to see what all of this will mean in a day, a week, or a year, but it is a sad day that made me feel at least somewhat introspective.

    Looking for your August TTC MDP Metropass?

    by W. Andrew Powell July 29, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell July 29, 2011

    Since I’m going through this today, I thought I’d share a little factoid with Torontonians who may be wondering why they haven’t received their August TTC Metropass yet from the Metropass Discount Plan.

    Something is wrong with this picture

    by W. Andrew Powell March 26, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell March 26, 2011

    Tonight was the first night that I saw the new Juno Awards, and I can honestly say I’m kind of appalled.

    Bell’s sour cell: When mistakes ruin a great thing

    by W. Andrew Powell August 28, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell August 28, 2010

    I have a story to share about a great phone that has made me a little angry this week. If you’ve dealt with cell phone companies at all in the last couple of years though, I’m betting you won’t be too surprised.

    Sorry America, you’re not getting my money for this disaster

    by W. Andrew Powell June 7, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell June 7, 2010

    Earlier today this little button popped up on the Tumblr website, and I just had to vent a little about it.

    For me, Tumblr is wonderful, and I’m a big fan of how the site is run and the causes they support, but when I saw this request on the sidebar today, I kind of flipped out.

    Consumerism makes me feel dirty

    by W. Andrew Powell March 14, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell March 14, 2010

    Stepping aside from my usual entertainment posts, I got on the topic of the environment over on Tumblr and I wanted to post a little more about it here on my blog.

    Media turning tragedy into Olympic shame

    by W. Andrew Powell February 12, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell February 12, 2010

    This has been an appalling day for the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and the issue goes well beyond the events on the site of the Olympic Sliding Centre.
