Before coming to Canada, I had very little inkling of the Montreal Massacre, of December 6, 1989. Because I know some of you are not Canadians and thus would not have had the same exposure to this incident as my Canadian friends are, the plain facts, boiled down as I understand them, are this: On December 6, 1989, a man walked into a classroom of 60 at the l'École Polytechnique. He had a gun. Many...

ms. audrawilliams  posted a link to a photo essay which reminded me of how inspired I was to make some changes after seeing Food, Inc. recently.  Local, organic, and mostly vegetarian consumption is a road I have been heading down for some time, and this movie inspired me to redouble my efforts.

Just came back from PodCamp Toronto , where audrawilliams and I gave a presentation on Social Media in the Public Service . It went over really well, and it’ll be up on SlideShare once the video/audio archives are up at PodCamp so I can stitch it all together. I spent a fair amount of the trip feeling ill, and to my horror, I’ve realized that I always started feeling sick about twenty...
