Lost in a cloud... in East Van

Hi, my name is Kevin, I am a full time student/part-time loss prevention officer living in Vancouver B.C. Canada. In my spare time I enjoy watching hockey, biking, and spending time with friends.

Permalink vicemag: For the last few years the US Government has had an official database of drug street terms that is “used by police officers, parents, treatment providers and others who require a better understanding of drug culture.” It’s a real eye-opener. I really had no idea that your average US drug user spoke so much like a character from Pleasantville. Check out our list of the most depressing/hilarious/implausible from the database: Know Your Drug Lingo

You Are Being Spied On Right Now

“We’ve reached a point at which technology has outpaced the laws that protect our privacy. If that doesn’t bother us, that may underscore the problem. If it does, we need to think hard about what’s private in an age when we’re increasingly living in public.”

Permalink staff: Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible. It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard. And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms. You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.
