Boycott the NHL, Go Watch College Hockey

Sunday, July 31st, 2005

As I sit here, hearing the news of the this year’s NHL hockey season ramping up, I can’t think about it without the lingering bad taste left in my mouth over the last years fiasco. While I enjoy watching C.C. Tiger games live, it was however quite frustrating that I couldn’t watch an occasional [...]

European Parliament Says No to Software Patents, Yes to Innovation
