Fun with the Church Sign Generator

Oh, how I love the Church Sign Generator:

Toronto Transit Camp Update

Just a little update on what’s happening with Toronto Transit Camp:

  • TTC and city bigwigs have confirmed their attendance! We’ve got Toronto Transit Commission Chair Adam Giambrone attending and City Councillor Joe Mihevc. Also attending will be the TTC’s Chief Marketing Officer and several planners from TTC staff.
  • We’re getting considerable attention, not just locally, but internationally. On the ‘net BoingBoing and WorldChanging are following what we’re doing, and we’re getting the mainstream press lined up, too.
  • This may be a minor footnote to you, but I think it’s worth mentioning: the company for whom I am Technical Evangelist, Tucows, is a sponsor of this event.

Maybe It’s the Style at the World Bank

You’d think that Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, would’ve spent some of his hefty salary to replace some worn-out clothes for his many public appearances, but noooooo….

AP photos of Paul Wolfowitz taking off his shoes at a mosque, revealing holes in both his socks.
Visiting holy shrines calls for holey footwear.

Perhaps he’s setting a good example by not being an ostentatious dresser, but dude, get some new socks.

Reminder: Toronto Transit Camp (Sunday) and DemoCamp (Monday)

Don’t forget that Toronto Transit Camp takes place this Sunday, February 4th at the Gladstone Hotel between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.! There’s not cost to attend, but space is limited, so if you haven’t registered yet, do so now.

And on the day after — Monday, February 5th — DemoCamp returns with DemoCamp 12! It takes place at No Regrets and starts at 6:30. Now that we all have a year’s worth of DemoCamps under our collective belts, we’ve made some changes to the format to see if we can’t improve the experience for everyone. Like Toronto Transit Camp, there’s no admission for DemoCamp.

His Name is Gabriel

Deenster and newborn baby Gabriel

Okay, so now I have confirmation: Deenster’s baby’s name is Gabriel David Maxwell Stevenson and not Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K, as I had assumed earlier. Good thing too — having a name like “Urhines” (I believe it’s meant to be pronounced “Your Highness”) would give any kid some kind of complex.

Once again, congrats to the new parents! Now the adventure begins…
