It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Between double screens, long hours and to-do lists the length of my arm, there hasn’t been much time for blogging. But it’s all been coming down to this week, my friends. This, the last week of the semester. My students will be doing the big presentations and handing read more

A week in Vancouver followed by weeks of dreamy sighs
November 13, 2012 – 7:30 am
It took about a week but I think that I’m finally settling back into life post-Vancouver. Not that I had much opportunity to “settle” – taking off for a week in the middle of one of your busiest seasons can be pretty unforgiving on a girl’s schedule when she gets back. And not that I read more
Conferences! Or, where I’m going and why it explains where I’ve been
October 17, 2012 – 3:29 pm
Once upon a time, in a shoddy Youtube video created not that long ago, I mused about autumn bringing a sense of routine and structure to what had been a very hectic month or two. I look back at that video now, and I laugh. Not that I was wrong per se – my life read more
PodCamp Toronto Part 1: The Sessions
February 28, 2012 – 4:07 pm
I want a shirt that says “I survived PodCamp Toronto 2012”. Not that PodCamp was dangerous or tedious or anything that would normally denote a situation that would need to be survived. I just feel like I’m finally part of the club now, y’know? This past weekend was a big one full of learning, meeting read more
HealthAchieve and the Fantastic Mr. Fox (or, On finding passion when you least expect it)
November 11, 2011 – 12:41 am
Earlier this week I got to attend the 2011 OHA HealthAchieve conference in Toronto. I went because of my job and mainly for the purposes of sharing the work we’ve been doing with social media. Being the PR nerd that I am, I got right into all of the prep before hand – building conference read more
Coming up for air (BRB lost in ideas)
June 23, 2011 – 12:31 pm
No time for a big post today I’m afraid. I spent yesterday evening at MaRS in Toronto (an amazing place. I’m endlessly impressed with what is happening there) attending a seminar from their Global Leadership series called “Social Networking and Health Care“. Have I mentioned yet that I’m working in the health care field now? read more
The schooling of Stephen Colbert
November 22, 2009 – 9:57 pm
On my very last day of work at Free The Children, we were presented with an incredible opportunity. A new trade bill was being introduced in the US banning the import of goods produced by child labourers and none other than Stephen Colbert, host of the Comedy Network’s (Comedy Central for our friends south of read more
passion in (and for) the workplace
July 9, 2009 – 9:11 pm
I’m sitting in the tiny but cozy living room of my staff housing unit, laptop on the coffee table and a plate of vegetables and cheese perched on my knee for snacking purposes. I’m working in the off-hours and, I’ll admit it, I’m a wee bit grumpy about it. But I know the job has read more
