I went to the Future Salon on Extreme Democracy last week. Some really interesting stuff was discussed. The Future Salon weblog has a full description with links, so I’ll just add my couple thoughts. I really really like what Zack Rosen is doing over at CivicSpace. By making it easier for grass roots groups to […]

Political training with Democracy for America
Democracy for America is the political action committee started by supporters of Howard Dean to represent “the Democratic wing of the Democratic party”. I happened to hear of a training course they were doing on political campaigns in conjunction with 21st Century Democrats. Given my recent interest in politics, I was curious, so I signed […]
Ultimate frisbee video
The college national championships of ultimate frisbee were televised this year on the College Sports TV network. Unfortunately, that’s not one I get – I think it’s on deep cable someplace, or maybe only satellite. But they kindly have decided to post the video to several of the games online (they are archived down the […]
Staying in shape
So I’ve been playing in this ultimate frisbee league this month. And that first week was great for my confidence. The second week I slipped a little, didn’t play quite as well. The third week I missed entirely due to that trip to Toronto. So I got to the fourth week after not having done […]
Good conversation
I really like good conversations. A lot. I was reminded of this a couple weeks ago when my friend Jofish came to town to visit. I organized a big dinner of all the TEP types to see him. Afterwards, the whole crew of us (11 or so) wandered over to Bug’s place to hang out […]
Circus Contraption

Part of it was that the last circus I’d seen had been the 7 fingers circus, which was phenomenal. Part of it was that the […]
Flying business class
In case any of the three readers I have was wondering why I didn’t update last week, it was because I got called unexpectedly to visit the home office in Toronto for training. I walked into work on Friday the 13th, and was told to call the company’s travel agent because I was flying to […]
Greg Maddux wins his 300th game
Greg Maddux of the Chicago Cubs won his 300th game yesterday. And I was there (page on another site because I have more disk space for pictures on that one).
Ultimate frisbee
So after playing in that tournament in Seattle over the July 4th weekend, I was kind of discouraged about playing ultimate. I mean, it was an eye-opening experience, seeing 100 ultimate frisbee teams out on a set of 40 fields. Discs as far as the eye could see. Three straight days of ultimate. Crazy stuff. […]
Livejournal
I broke down and opened a livejournal account the other day. It’s even worse, though. I only opened a livejournal account because I don’t have a real server to host this blog on currently, so there’s no real way for me to do comments (both blosxom and Movable Type require a server where I have […]
