Another one of our classmates, let’s call him Vinny*, also cavorted in her neighborhood. I’m going to avoid cheap Sopranos references, but let’s just say Vinny and his gang sported spiked hair and gold chains rather than Yankee sweatpants...

The Google fire service allows people to avoid accident sites by tuning electronic devices to automatic updates from the city's RSS news feed, says fire captain Dean Ford. Eventually, Nanaimo plans to equip its grass-cutting machines with GPS devices, so residents piqued by the apparent shabbiness of a particular park or grass verge can use Google to find out when last it was groomed by the city's gardening staff. And the city's cemeteries will soon be mapped...
