"I know it's out of step with the times, but all I have is ideas that make money, make us safer, make us richer, and make our technology better..." - Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs)

Like all the best Americans, I'm Canadian, and while I have lived abroad for most of this century, I still hew faithfully to our folkways, which is why I'd like to start this essay by apologizing.
I'm sorry.
