CRTC Blocked and No More Wires!

Many of us at Raincity are busy this week with helping out and participating in the Drupal training workshop that we're co-producing with Bryght, while continuing with our client work.

All is going great at the sessions... sooo much Drupal my head is starting to spin, but spin in a really, really good way. Collectively, we're training and learning a lot. For me, I'm on the learning a lot wave, not having used Drupal too deeply in the past. Right now, we're in the middle of looking at the neat 'views' and 'contemplate' modules: Hot stuff!

But I had a little time to spin through some tech news today, and spotted some interesting and noteworthy articles that I wanted to share, if you haven't already found them on your own:

And what about adding more electromagnetic fields into our lives? Let's hope it's not radioactive... This one is pretty fascinating and has physicists at MIT finding the right technology for a re-charging toy that will enable users to recharge their batteries in laptops and mobiles from a laptop-sized tool at a relatively close range. If you have one of these tools in each room of your home, you'll likely be completely and truly wireless!
