  • The Space - What We're Watching

    During the Pandemic people have been watching a lot of television, particularly through streaming services like #Netflix, #iTunes, #Crave, and #Amazon. These services have done extraordinarily well during this period, however they are quickly running out of tier 1 content, making it more difficult to find movies, programs and series that are worth watching. 

    In this episode of #TheSpaceInbetween, titled, #WhatWeAreWatching, #CamBrown and I review shows, movies and documentaries we are watching, which we believe are noteworthy.

  • The Space - The Back to School Blues

    Send us Fan Mail

    With September fast approaching, North American families are typically focused on preparing for the start of the school year. In normal times, this can be busy and stressful for parents, students and teachers. Under the shadow of the COVID 19 Pandemic it is something different entirely

    We have seen a significant up tick in infection rates of COVID 19 across the country since July. This increase has largely been attributed to young people, feeling the need to be social after so many months of isolation. It would appear from contact tracing, the greatest risk for transmission is large gatherings indoors - Bars, restaurants, house parties etc. 

    As the weather begins to cool, and people start to spend less time outside, the risk of infection and transmission for all of us will increase - The science is quite clear. Knowing this, should we as society further exacerbate the risk of infection, transmission, and death, for the most vulnerable members of our society, by allowing our schools to open in September? What are the alternatives?

    Join us for this week’s episode of #TheSpace[inbetween],  Back to School Blues …#ForWhatItsWorth

  • The Space - The Rise of the Bicycle

    Send us Fan Mail

    As the coronavirus pandemic shrinks life in major Canadian and American cities — limiting familiar pastimes and discouraging the use of buses and subways and other forms of mass transit — hundreds of thousands of us are flocking to one of the most basic forms of mobility: the bicycle.

    In March, nationwide sales of bicycles, equipment and repair services nearly doubled compared with the same period last year, according to the N.P.D. Group, a market research company. Sales of commuter and fitness bikes in the same month increased 66 percent, leisure bikes jumped 121 percent, children’s bikes went up 59 percent and electric bikes rose 85 percent.By the end of April, many stores and distributors had sold out of low-end consumer bikes. Now, the United States is facing a severe bicycle shortage as global supply chains, disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak, scramble to meet the surge in demand. (New York Times)

  • The Digital Dark Age - Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail

    The exponential advances in #digitaltechnologies over the next few years could make many of our personal histories and existing digital artifacts inaccessible, leading us into “digital dark age” in which our civilization’s most #criticalknowledge is at risk due to digital technology itself. In Part 2 of the #digitaldarkage, #dagspicer and I discuss the end of #mooreslaw, the role of government, cloud computing, software as a service as possible solutions to this challenge.
