First off, I'm on a mission to map those urban forests of Winnipeg that I have explored.

• An inquiry with Mayor Sam Katz on the "health" of our rivers. An exercise in friendly re-direction.
• Commerce pays the bills? Printed in the May 20th Winnipeg Free Press. A response to Jake Marks' call for schools to embrace commercialism. Mr. Marks is likely the president and owner of Jake Marks Advertising; therefore, his support for ads in our schools isn't surprising.

• BeautyCheck - Computer generated beauty?
• Saturday Morning Cartoons on YouTube
• The Emergence of Social Inequality among Robots
• We Feel Fine
• Principles of the American Cargo Cult
• Iraq War Coalition Fatalities
• The civilian body count in Iraq is now well over 37,000.

Update (29 May 2006):

We have received our first reply from the Prime Minister's Office: brief, automated, and bilingual.
