A guy attaches a camera to his cat to see what it gets up to all day.

Very interesting.

Iqaluit is a hotspot

If you are ever in the newest Canadian capital you will not have to worry about Internet. Just about anywhere in town has access to Free wireless internet. The network is called ‘freewireless1′. The free wireless is provided by Sukattuq Network Services. The service is great for a free service in Iqaluit. The only problems I have with the service is the reliability and restrictions. The service is very flaky, you usually get 20 minutes before your connection dies. As for restrictions you on get port 80. Don’t get me wrong, free is free and I am very greatful for the service. Saves me from going to the office to use the Internet.

Electrical substations disguised as houses

Toronto Hydro, the electrical authority in Toronto, has spent decades building electrical substations that are disguised as typical family houses:

In 1987, Canadian photographer Robin Collyer began documenting houses that aren’t houses at all – they’re architecturally-disguised electrical substations, complete with windows, blinds, and bourgeois landscaping.

“During the 1950s and 1960s,” Collyer explains in a recent issue of Cabinet Magazine, “the Hydro-Electric public utilities in the metropolitan region of Toronto built structures known as ‘Bungalow-Style Substations.’ These stations, which have transforming and switching functions, were constructed in a manner that mimics the style and character of the different neighborhoods.”
