It was bound to happen eventually.
Hostopia Inc., the place I worked in Toronto immediately prior to my moving back to the Maritimes, has just been bought by a company based in Minnessota called Deluxe Corp., for $124 million. I’m guessing that the financial company was looking to “diversify their portfolio”, as it were, and branch into website hosting. I knew …

Better late than never.
Senator Hillary Clinton has officially suspended her campaign and endorsed Barack Obama.

Oh jeez, I got hope all over this blog.
Barack Obama just won the Democratic nomination. He has earned enough delegates through the proportional primaries, caucuses and superdelegate nominations, to make the necessary 2118 delegate threshold. The numbers as of the full 50 states having voted (and Democrats Abroad, Puerto Rico, Guam, and god knows who else, I can’t remember), from Daily Kos: Delegates: …
