Now You Know – Feeling Buzzed
Now I Know (site currently down making this a bad day to post this but whatever) is an enjoyable little e-newsletter that comes out every couple of days with all kinds of interesting facts about all kinds of things.

10 Reasons I’ll Never Be A Political Candidate
As I’ve gotten more and more involved with the NDP over the past few years, I occasionally get asked if I’d ever consider running as a candidate. Sometimes it’s tongue-in-cheek (I think) and sometimes serious, like when someone recently asked if I would consider running for city council (I think). When I used to work with […]

“The Speech” – A Look Back at Obama’s Breakthrough Moment (and Ryan Meili’s Potential Equivalent?)
As the Democratic National Convention kicks off this week, I’m reminded of the single speech that catapulted Obama into the national spotlight at the 2004 convention.

In fact, I’d hazard a guess that if a range of friends, acquaintances and colleagues were quizzed about my defining characteristic, they’d say “friendly”. My ability to get along with a wide range of people […]
Ranking The Top 10 Milestones of a Person’s Life
In exactly one week, Pace starts kindergarten. It’s a cliche but it truly is hard to believe how fast the time has flown. I thought it might be fun to try to rank the major milestones of a person’s life. Other than being born and dying, I know not everyone will hit these milestones but […]
Digital Strategy Catches Up With the Present: An Interview with The Smithsonian’s Michael Edson
Lots to think about in this interview and presentation… Some choice quotes… We don’t have to wait to see if social media and crowdsourcing and mobile data in the cloud are going to add up to anything useful. It’s happened. These things are real, now today….We need to change our collective mindset from “let’s be […]
Knock Knock. Who’s There? Rape? Rape Who? Rape Jokes – Are They Funny?
About a month ago, there was a minor uproar online after a female patron at a comedy show posted of an extremely unsettling experience her and her friend had on a Tumblr blog. The two women decided to go to a show featuring well-known comic Dane Cook (who they’d heard of) with Daniel Tosh (who […]
Social Media Olympics
The Universal: Television, The Internet and the End of Space & Time (PDF w/ Speaking Notes) from headtale When I did my favourite presentation ever in library school where I looked at the future of broadcasting in a Media Studies course on the History of Communication, I may have made one mistake. At the time, […]
