I’m back from almost three weeks on a semi-vacation in Toronto. I started with a two-day conference, then spent the rest of the time meeting with family, friends and colleagues from a comfortable base in the west end. I like a change of venue now and then to get into fresh thinking about what I [...]

The next couple of days will be an immersion in what I do for a living, mostly, because I’ll be at the Idea Conference 2009. It’s all about social and experience design and you can bet that much of the conversation will centre on online communities and technologies. I went to the big city yesterday to visit a dear friend who is unwell. It was another of those brilliant bonus days where the sun shines and the air is clear, not a dreary November day at all. The best part is the way the fields turn copper and gold and a field of [...] Mum and I spent about 5 hours savouring the sewing and needlework show, coming away with both knitting and sewing projects. Then I took a long walk to do some errands. This is a noisy dirty city, for sure, but it was a spectacular afternoon to enjoy it. We’re ensconced at RCMI but briefly until we head out for North York for dinner and theatre. And yes, Jacqueline, I will certainly share the bread secret, once I have done my workshop Nov. 1. So it looks like the blog is the first to go when things get too crazy, but I’m back, at least for tonight.

Not sure if I can do a blog post from it, but I will [...] I’m back in beautiful New Brunswick this evening for a week of working with a favourite client. This time the week in Saint John will be punctuated with one day in Fredericton. It was a lovely day to drive down to the airport from home, with the fields looking lushly green. The smooth (if slightly [...] I’m in San Francisco for the week and so far all I’ve seen is an evening view on the trip into the city from the airport. Today was spent in hotel meeting rooms and now I’m too exhausted to do more than look out on a wonderful view from the 33rd floor of this posh [...] I’m speechless now because my speech is done. I presented my piece on dealing with office clutter this afternoon to a receptive and appreciative audience at the Editors’ Association of Canada’s national conference. I was glad to be presenting after other sessions, because they were informative and diverting enough to keep me from getting too [...] I’m back in Saint John for a week, not so happy about it this time because I am nursing a head cold. Fortunately I didn’t have to do all the talking (or croaking) and the day went quickly because we had lots to cover. After a solo dinner in the hotel restaurant, my waitress took [...] |
