Ted Baryluk's Grocery

"It's not so easy singing the old songs in the new place."

Ukrainian-Canadian Ted Baryluk's grocery store has been a fixture in Winnipeg's North End for over 20 years. In this photo study, Ted talks about his store, the customers who have come and gone and the social changes his multicultural neighbourhood has seen. But most of all he wonders what will become of his store after he retires. He hopes his daughter will take over, but she wants to move away. The film is a wistful rendering of a shopkeeper's relationship with his daughter and a fascinating portrait of a neighbourhood and its inhabitants.

RT @rushkoff: @stevenbjohnson So do you think this means we'll see a revival of quality journalism, or further decline before salvation?

RT @stevenbjohnson: @rushkoff I think on the whole there is far more quality tech journalism than before. But when the system fails, this is what it looks like.

Here’s a brief history of the Internet, including important dates, people, projects, sites, and other information that should give you at least a partial picture of what this thing we call the Internet really is, and where it came from."
