Pyramids, Not Ladders
For as long as I can remember, I have always had keen interests in an eclectic mix of areas from fashion to construction, event planning to medicine. If I liked it, I just appended it to the growing pile of things that I had an interest in. As a young child I was exposed to [...]
Gladwell – A Master Intellectual Opportunist
Food for thought. Not concrete, not a statistically significant way to measure society, not a stab at telling us in any firm way how the world works, but food for thought.
Gladwell presents us with fresh perspective, either through novelty, or an unabashed free conscience. Either way, the man is truly affluent in his abilities with [...]
Ottawa Social Media Book Club
Yesterday I participated in a book club discussion centered around Social Media. The club, which meets about once every three months, met at the downtown Fox and Feather Pub and was discussing The Cluetrain Manifesto. The ‘Manifesto’ is a book by now 10 years old but not to be confused as outdated. It talks about [...]
Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Malcolm is a true inspiration for the Canadian people and especially last Thursday afternoon for the Ottawa Community. I really enjoyed the Q & A and many people in the audience had the chance to email or use twitter to send in their questions! Yes! Many of us had their crackberries and iPhone turned on [...]

Alan Greenspan – The Age of Turbulence
Alan Greenspan’s book The Age of Turbulence – Adventures in a New World may be a bestseller as much for its literary merit as for the man’s perceived role in the global credit crisis. This fact did not escape Greenspan, who went on to add another chapter for the revised edition of the book after [...]

Power of strong sense of community!
Today was an important day in my life. I finally face my biggest fear of kayaking which was Mini Bus, on the Ottawa River.
On the way up to the Ottawa River I was enjoying tidbits with my buddy Simon DeNure and when we hit Cobden, Ontario I got super nervous… It finally hit me in [...]
