I'm a digital strategist in Calgary Alberta. I like technology, headphones and backpacks. These are daily snippets from around the Internet that I find interesting.
But today's strangeness, while only a few mouse-clicks away from anyone, becomes difficult to find because it has to occur to you to Google it. You may be able to Google everything, but the trick is figuring what you need to Google.

It will be interesting to see the evolution of problem solving over the next five years.

Apple is slated to announce the fruits of its labor on improving the use of technology in education at its special media event on Thursday, January 19. While speculation has so far centered on digital textbooks, sources close to the matter have confirmed to Ars that Apple will announce tools to help create interactive e-books—the "GarageBand for e-books," so to speak—and expand its current platform to distribute them to iPhone and iPad users.
If this is true there's a hell of a goldrush on its way.

I was lucky enough to see this last night at the Cineplex Eau Claire. My lovely girlfriend (@januarylark) scored a couple of premiere tickets.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was a beautiful movie. Not one moment on screen was wasted.
I have never seen a show so closely marry photography, art direction and story together to capture a moment in time. The camera moves throughout scenes reminscient of great movies from the time period like Save the Tiger. Every thread, poster and piece of graffiti in a shot is perfectly true to the early 1970's.
The dialogue is never ham-handed. You learn who the characters are by their environment and their expression. In fact, Smiley (Gary Oldman) doesn't speak a word for the first 15 minutes of the movie. Lipstick and mascara sitting on his dreary bathroom counter tells you his wife has left him. Getting a new prescription for his failing eyes tells you time is passing quickly.
The movie is so dense it's hard to write a word without giving away the many tiny twists peppered throughout.
It's a must see for anyone who loves movies. It opens January 20th.
