[…] a certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect. - Oshima in Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore

A few days ago, my friend Tom Comet from Circus Orange produced a stunt for Virgin Mobile that saw Sir Richard Branson, the billionaire owner of Virgin, suspended in a prison cell 50 feet above Yonge-Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. They exploded the cell, opening the walls, and Branson climbed down successfully making his “escape.”
What’s all the fuss about? Well, in case you hadn’t heard, Canada is now only the second country in the world to feature full phone number portability. Which means that you can switch wireless companies, turn your home number into a wireless number or your wireless number into a landline. All of which should reduce prices and put features and innovation on the rise… I’m hoping that finally I will be able to get a true unlimited data service from a wireless provider that won’t cost a small fortune.
