Customer Service

It’s not every day that I have a story this positive to share, and I hope you won’t mind if I name names. A month ago, I ordered some CDs from Amazon.ca.  I waited for weeks for them to arrive, and every day the disappointment at the mailbox was palpable.  Eventually it was clear they were [...]

TED

You’ve heard of the TED conference?  Well, this was the *other* TED, Ted Mielczarek to be exact.  Ted came and shared his vast build knowledge with the students.  Multiple people took notes for the talk.  Ted did a great job showing us how things work, and giving insight into various processes.  For example, he crashed [...]

‘eph-sauce’

“Awesome, but how are you going to top this one!?” is what we heard at the end of Seneca’s FSOSS 2006. I’m pleased to announce that after a year of insane work, we’ve managed to do just that, and then some. Registration is now open, and waiting for you to claim your spot. This [...]

The Next Food Network Stars

Since getting television at the beginning of the summer, I’ve discovered the Food Network, and the cornucopia of good cooking shows available. I’ve learned a ridiculous amount, and I’m loving every second (I’ve never used so much olive oil in my life–thanks Jamie!). But it occurred to me the other day that none of these [...]
