From “The “Work From Home” Generation - ReadWriteWeb“:

What are the pros and cons of working from home? In this post we take a close look, as well as discuss what lies ahead for this new, rapidly growing generation.

Always interesting to read an article that explores both sides of the telecommuting equation.

From “Second employee leaves job over sale of space contractor“:

For the second time in as many weeks, a satellite engineer has resigned from Canada’s leading space contractor over the company’s sale of its space division to an American weapons maker.

Ethics are a powerful force.

From “Canadian Privacy Commissioner: Just say no to intrusive DRM“:

Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, is wary of DRM, and she’s not afraid to tell other branches of government about her concerns. Stoddart has just sent a public letter to Jim Prentice, the Canadian Minister of Industry, telling him that his impending copyright reform bill should not protect any DRM that gathers and transmits personal data.

Your constituency thanks you dearly, Ms. Stoddart, for looking out for our best interest.

From: “Michel Dallaire will design the new bike sharing system“:

Later this year, Montreal will enjoy the beginnings of a new bike sharing program modeled on Paris’ hugely popular Velib. As we mentioned last fall, the system will eventually include 2,400 bicycles parked at 300 stations across town.

Awesome!

And on a loosely related note, The STM and Communauto also formed an alliance that could be very attractive to many Montrealers.

From “Work-Life Boundaries for the Passionate Worker“:

The only problem with being super-passionate about your work life is that work can take over your whole life. That’s especially so for web workers since near-ubiquitous connectivity means you can almost always tweak that website, write that blog post, or code that next feature no matter where you are or what time it is.
