Last night, my good friend Ean Jackson and I had the pleasure of speaking at the Canadian Public Relations Society on PR 2.0. We had a nearly full room, and the group was engaged and we had a great time meeting everyone. There were some great questions from the room and some good healthy debate [...]
I’ll keep this short or I’ll get all sappy. I love hanging out with this group and pushing our bodies and suffering together. It’s the best thing I could possibly do with my time. Thanks guys (and girls).

I am signed up to race with a friend of mine for this year’s BC Bike Race, a 450-500km, 7 day stage race on mountain bikes that goes from Victoria to Whistler from July 1st to July 7th. We put together a blog so that people can follow along if they want as we train. [...]
Every time I read this I go off into fits of laughter. Having spent fifteen years now doing project management on one thing or another, I can relate to this very deeply. Sometimes Scott Adams really nails it.
“This is an A to B conversation, so C you later.”
Over the past month and a couple of conversations, I have had the opportunity to speak with Ross Mayfield, CEO for Socialtext.

Thanks to Ean and Sibylle for throwing a great Club Fat Ass party – the Capilano Canyon Night Run. About 40 30 of us gathered at the William Griffin Rec Center tonight to do the run.
