And now, for something completely different: political lunacy from BC (British Columbia! It appears that Elections BC has decided that blogs are advertising:
“Under the Election Act, it will fall within the definition of election advertising, and we would ask them to register,” says Jennifer Miller of Elections B.C.
Wow. Looks like election authorities haven’t learned anything from the last time we went down this road.
About a month ago, I expressed a bit of annoyance at 106 Miles’ definition of “entrepreneurial engineers” as it related to restricting attendance to the 106 Miles events. As my current title is “Product Manager” at PGP, my engineering background was apparently null and void.
Well, the squeaky wheel gets the speaker spot. I’ll be speaking at the next event on May 18th, along with Jeremy Zawodny and one as-yet-unnamed individual. The topic? “The Dark Side: why engineers become PMs, marketers, and salespeople.”
Search your feelings, young hacker…you know it to be true: you will join the Dark Side!
