Today, I'm excited to announce the launch of Spaces, a place to discover where Canadian innovation comes to life.
Spaces aims to promote the Canadian tech scene by showcasing tech offices and spaces to increase awareness of the wide range of tech organizations in Canada. Whether these are startups, agencies, studios, incubators, accelerators, or co-working spaces, there is a lot going on here that people may not be aware of. Spaces will lay all of this out in front of them and give them the means to explore and learn where Canadian tech and innovation is created.
Check out the Medium article to learn more:
And a huge shout out to the amazing community builders and supporters of Spaces here working tirelessly to grow the Canadian tech scene: Dinah Shi, Daryna Kulya, Amandah Wood, Danielle Smith, Alex Kinsella, Douglas Soltys, Jessica Galang, Chris Rickett, Chris Plunkett, Samantha Clark, and so on. ...

David Eaves has written a very insightful post on the role, motivations and drivers of behaviour using the AD&D Alignment System. It is an incredible post because of how it frames the roles of emerging technologies: open source; encryption, surveillance, sousveillance, DRM, etc.
"Fourth, one thing I like about the above is that social media and self-organization genuinely is chaotic. It is also often far better at protesting and "tearing something down" than it is at building something."

Hey folks,
So after a session I participated in at MaRS about tech recruiting a few weeks ago, Sarah Efron from the Globe & Mail asked me to put some of my points into an op-ed. It just posted here, if you're interested:
I have to say, I was hesitant to write it. On the one hand, I think tech is in a really shitty spot on diversity, and I want to help any way I can because it pisses me off and it's a place that Toronto should really be excellent and we aren't, yet. But I also know that white men have a nasty habit of ending up in the centre of every conversation and I don't really like any situation where I seem to be putting myself up there as an expert on stuff that, really, many other people know far more about than I do. The stuff in the article is pretty basic, first pass stuff, but judging from the MaRS audience, still new to some.
Anyhow, I hope I got that through in the post — it is a thing I care a lot about, but I am curious to know if you folks think I got the balance right, or just became another part of the problem. Thanks for any feedback, regardless. ... See MoreSee Less

Karen Schulman DupuisJonathan, it's a good, solid piece, and I commend you for calling out the fact that you're a white man speaking about diversity (which of course is crazy in this context). I think that there are some people that are in the startup community that wouldn't listen to this piece unless it was written by a guy, so we have to tackle these issues piece by piece. Next steps in this conversation is to include the women who're doing the hard work in this space day after day. I encourage you to connect with Cathy Gallagher-Louisy of The Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion for resources, guidance, experts and insights.2 days ago · 8
Varun MathurI think the right forum for affirmative action in tech is at the education level - encouraging everybody, some more so than others, on a tech education - in high school/colleges (and startups can play a role in that). Beyond that, in the industry, it has to be purely based on merit alone and we need to be blind to any attributes of a person - race/gender/ethnicity should be irrelevant and not favor or disfavor one group over another. Would any person who believes in his/ her merit in the tech industry feel comfortable he/she got hired for a role not just because of merit, but because of an attribute/affirmative action ?2 days ago
Steven UsterAmazing article. We are currently on a mission to attract and hire more women at FundThrough. I completely agree with Jonathan on this. It is critical for the success of any company, especially a start up. There are some amazing tips and tools in this article that we will start using ASAP to ensure that the vast majority of our next hires are female.2 days ago
Gustavo MeloThe "best candidate vs. best team" argument is the most important here, as I see it. Without a clear and specific framework we can use (and we don't have a good one for hiring yet) to remove bias from the hiring process, it's inordinately difficult to do so in practice. However, a shift in perspective towards the desirable qualities of a more diverse team, especially as it impacts business success, gives you an immediate counterbalance and added incentive to be more mindful of thought processes related to hiring.2 days ago · 2

Varun MathurWhat you need is a hustler - someone who can translate your idea/vision in to a workable, initial version until you realize it still makes sense or see if it has any traction. What you DON'T need is somebody who seems strong technically but has little interest in working through the many sleepless nights it takes to publish an app to the Android or iOS app store. This set of potential tech co-founders might seem great on paper, but are of little use to you if they don't have the market-relevant skills and the hunger to take you from a landing page to a minimum viable product. Where do you find hustlers -- in boring, online forums.. blogging away or publishing code which few care about. You look for people really passionate about coding/design who do it in any case - and if that is the case, they must have coded/built something till date in any case and thats who you are trying to find. Which brings you to your next problem after you find some prospects - why would they work for you. What you are offering at this point is (maybe) equity in an unestablished venture - it is your job to excite them with your passion, with the opportunity ... I would recommend to not look at them as "tech co-founders" but as co-founders who happen to be technically inclined -- these would be very smart people. A 10% or a 15% co-founder is not a co-founder but someone who will have less motivation and jump ship and make something of his or her own when the right idea strikes (because he/she already has the tech skills). Remember, skilled coders have a lot of opportunity -- from other startups to big tech companies. Another approach you can try is "pretend" to yourself your idea/product exists and see if any potential customers care. Maybe you have mockups, initial design or maybe you are just asking them to fill out online forms. Excitement is contagious -- if you can get somebody excited about what you are doing, you might have an easier time finding people to partner with. Don't worry about people stealing your idea - there always are multiple folks working on similar ideas in different parts of the world...the execution would matter and differentiate you. If there is nobody else apart from family/friends who you can excite about your venture, then perhaps re-think it instead of going ahead to build it. Happy to add/share more feedback - feel free to reach out and good luck!1 month ago · 7

Puget Sound Bank Receives Another "Superior" Rating
2015 March 16 by Brad Ogura
18th Consecutive Quarter for 5-Star Award
March 16, 2015 – BauerFinancial, an independent research firm that analyzes and reports on banks and credit unions, has rated Puget Sound Bank "superior" (5 stars) for the 18th consecutive quarter. For a bank to bear the five-star (superior) emblem, it must have received an excellent or superior rating for 11 consecutive quarters. Some of the criteria rated (but not limited to) include: capital level, asset quality, profitability, loan delinquencies, reserves and regulatory compliance.
Since 1983 BauerFinancial has been compiling information that federal regulators require financial institutions to file every quarter. The information is subjected to a thorough analysis and is compared with historical data for consistency. Upon completion of the analysis, a star rating is assigned based on a scale of zero to five starts, with five stars the highest.
No institution pays for its rating, nor can banks or credit unions avoid a rating. For more information about BauerFinancial visit their website.
Puget Sound Bank Ranked 5th in State
2015 March 11 by Brad Ogura
"Washington's Banks Looking Pretty Good" says Industry Analyst
March 11, 2015 – In a recent Puget Sound Business Journal article by local digital managing editor Emily Parkhurst, Puget Sound Bank is highlighted as Washington state's fifth-best as ranked several ratios, including earnings, asset quality, capitalization, growth and other factors.
The list was compiled by St. Louis-based industry analyst Kirk Briden, a banking industry veteran who goes beyond traditional measure criteria to measure performance. As Parkhurst points out in her article, the strength of a bank is important for businesses looking for a loan because banks that are not performing well can have issues with regulators, which can make it more difficult to work with them.
She quotes Briden as saying "When you start running into trouble, regulators often define a very narrow box to confine (the bank) to." Read her full article to see Briden's top 25 banks in Washington state.

Splendid technique, very nice colors. I like Your slides, they are very different from present-day digital pics - both in style and in content. The same subjects look differently in other time 20 years ago from now.
THANK YOU Peter!! Highly appreciated Your rate to my efforts! This was (still is) one of my favorite views from Moscow collection, also I love Red square night views too and one more view taken from Vorobyov hill to river and city (not yet uploaded, because I looking how to digitally improve last one, because it is in colour tones not easy to scan from slide).

Researchers at the University Medical Center in Germany linked spending more time in school and achieving higher level of education to nearsightedness.
For the study, published in the journal Ophthalmology, researchers examined more than 4,600 Germans between the ages 35 and 74 that have myopia, the medical term for nearsightedness. They found 53 percent of people who graduated from college lived with myopia, while only 24 percent of people who didn't finish high school had the eye condition. Basically, every year spent in a classroom makes makes it worse.
Myopia is generally caused by the elongation of the eyeball when people are young, but some experts say that by simply going outside and spending time in the sunlight, people can lessen the risk of nearsightedness.

any insights will be greatly appreciated..
- 1 Reply to Allen
Harrington is questionable until the last minute tonight. Allen is probably gonna play along with Garnett but Allen is coming off a less impacted injury so he should put up numbers more than Garnett would. If Garnett play tonight, expect him to play no more than 15 min, give or take. If for some dumb-odd reason Crawford doesnt play tonite, then I'd say Don Nelson is the worst coach in history. Expect him on the floor tonight.

After wheeling, dealing, and waiver - wiring(?), does my team take the championship? I think I may be relying too much on team balance and not enough on star power. Missing your draft sucks (Shawn Marion, first pick)... Are there any CATS I should concentrate on with FA? Rasul Butler, Raja Bell and Chalmers are some notable FA.
12 team, H2H, standard 9 CAT:
Chauncey Billups
Joe Johnson
Jose Calderon
Shawn Marion
Lamar Odom
Charlie Villanueva
Correy Maggette
Brook Lopez
Zydrunas Illgauskas
Monta Ellis
Eric Gordon
Mike Conley
Tyson Chandler
- 1 Reply to Frozenpizzaonlambea
Conley and Chandler are your iffy players, only cuz theyve been fluctuating in production. So make a move for either Butler or Chalmers( he can be hot one week, but cold another... be weary). look for Hill or Gomes too if theyre available. And Randy Foye.
Roto league, 15 teams, 12 cats
Keep top 3...mine are Wade, Yao, Kidd
*People hate on Kidd because of his age but he has been great for me all season and I think can do the same next season. Coming into the season he was ranked 33rd and now is easily a top 10 fantasy player in the Roto system so age isn't slowing him down as he is doing better this year compared to last.
My question is what should I do with Josh Howard? I'm in 2nd in my league and have extra games to play in F, SF, PF, C spot. But the waiver wire is really thin. Should I try to grab any Forward that I can and just drop Howard? Or hold on to him hoping he'll give me like 7 games or so. Also should I look into picking up Bogut or Deng (hoping one of them returns for 5-10 games? As you can see I'm very gaurd heavy and thus would drop either Telfair or Brooks. Thanks
PG) Jason Kidd
SG) Dwayne Wade
G) Ben Gordon
SF) Larry Hughes
PF) Joakim Noah
F) Josh Howard (injured)
C) Yao Ming
C) Andrea Bargnani
Util) Andre Miller
Util) Eric Gordon
Bench) Aaron Brooks, Sebastian Telfair, James Singleton

Drop Howard and look for FA's like Grant Hill, Rasual Butler, or Ryan Gomes. Good luck
Anything I should do before the playoffs start? I clinched 1st place in a 12 team H2H, so have next week off. (lost al jefferson, Jameer Nelson)
PG Russell Westbrook (OKC - PG)
SG Jason Terry (Dal - PG,SG)
G Jarrett Jack (Ind - PG,SG)
SF Corey Maggette (GS - SG,SF,PF)

looks solid. I would eye Thabo or Butler and drop Jack. But for now you should be good.
When do you think Manu Ginobili will be back? I'm currently in 2nd place and I'm facing the 3rd place team this week. If he wins 7-2, then he'll get 2nd place and get the bye week. He has a roster full of healthy players and I have 2 injuries - Ginobili and Devin Harris...
I want the bye week so I can have time to get my players back from injury because I really don't want to drop someone like Devin Harris who has been amazing this season.
Do you think I should drop Ginobili to secure my bye week?
- 1 Reply to NWO
Ginobili has had issues with his ankle for practically a year now, and even if he comes back in the next 2 weeks... his numbers arent gonna be what u hope for. Popavich is a strategic coach, so dont expect Manu to go full force until the Playoffs. Harris is out indefinitely with that shoulder injury, which is a huge blow for your backcourt. He may be back in two weeks, and might produce more than Manu since his injury wasnt on his right shoulder, so drop Manu for a reliable FA. Look for someone like Monta Ellis, Ryan Gomes, Randy Foye, Alston, etc.

Hi, I would like to ask for some help. A few days ago i took my (15 months old) Macbook Air to the Apple representative in Uruguay (I'm here travelling) because the general password was not being recognized so i wanted it to be reset. They did that and the next day I picked it up from them and used it all day. In the evening it suddenly froze while i was using it. I turned it of and back on and it started displaying a sign of a file with a question mark on it. I took it back to the shop the next day and left it with them. They were supposed to call me that day but never did. the next day I called them and they told me that the computer was not recognizing the hardrive, that there was a hardrive failure, that reparing it would cost much more thsn the cost of the machine itself so i needed to buy a new one and that on top of that they could not recover any data. Everything is supposedly gone forever. I asked if there was nothing they could do to recover the data and they said " we do not have the technology to do that"...
More worrying they told me that the hardrive inside the machine was not the original. I opened the original box myself and the laptop has always been with me, never serviced or left for a prolonged amount of time outside my reach.
After that they told me that they were going to look at it again and they were going to call me when it was ready
I told them that i was travelling that evening. They never called back. When i tried calling them no one picked up, it was closed. It was a Saturday, the dont open Sundays so I had to change my ticket and stay untill They opened again.
Please guys help me because i don't know what to do. I'm not a very technical girl but this all sounds a bit strange to me.
Plus I lost very important data that i need for my work that i need to recover.
Can you please suggest what i can do?? I would greatly appreciare it!!!
Thank you!!

Veteran lyricist Gulzar received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest honour in cinema given annually by the Government of India for lifetime contribution to Indian cinema, here Saturday. The 77-year-old was overwhelmed and thanked a string of "gurus" and musical geniuses of the past and current generation for contributing to his success story.
Clad in his trademark white kurta pyjama, Gulzar turned towards the audience to take a bow before he approached the stage to receive the Swarna Kamal, Rs.1 million and a shawl, conferred upon him by President Pranab Mukherjee at the Vigyan Bhavan here.
The multi-faceted yet humble talent, who started his career in 1956, is the 45th winner of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is constituted in the name of Dadasaheb Phalke - the director of India's first full-length feature film "Raja Harishchandra", made in 1913.
Gulzar took to the mike, requesting "a moment to get his breath" as he was overwhelmed with the love and appreciation of his work as a lyricist, director, screen-writer, producer and poet.
"There are few moments in life when for a writer, whose work is to play with words, doesn't know what words to choose to express gratitude and thank people. I want to say that no person will reach this stage without the support of several people.
"I was lucky that when I started, I met many people from whom I learnt - my guru Bimal Roy, who picked me from nowhere and took me along with him...there was Salil Chowdhary, Sachin Dev Burman, Hemant Kumar...I was lucky to get such gurus," Gulzar said in his acceptance speech.
Born in 1934 in Punjab in pre-independence India, Gulzar got his first break as a lyricist in Bimal Roy's "Bandini".
He has penned a multitude of songs in his glorious career and also contributed to several films as script, story and dialogue writer. His directorials include "Mere Apne", "Koshish", "andhi", "Kinara", "Khushboo", "ngoor", "Libaas", "Meera", "Lekin" and "Maachis".
Gulzar, whose real name is Sampooran Singh Kalra, also thanked R.D. Burman, Laxmikant, Kalyanji, Madan Mohan, Illayaraja and Pandit Ravi Shankar, for shaping his career in many ways.
From the new generation he mentioned A.R. Rahman, crediting him with "taking Indian film music to the global map".
He thanked filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, whom he calls his son, and names like Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Shantanu Moitra for infusing films with quality music in these times. Among the film directors, he mentioned Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Shaad Ali and his own daughter Meghna.
Meghna sat in the audience at Vigyan Bhavan, shedding tears of pride for her father, until he finished his speech and returned to the seat to give her a comforting hug.
The 79-year-old was conferred the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2002 and the Padma Bhushan in 2004. He has won a number of National Film Awards and 20 Filmfare Awards. At the 81st Oscars in 2009, he won the Academy Award for best original song for "Jai ho" with A.R. Rahman.

Local selected as pianist at D.C. show
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Natchez resident Joseph Stone performed live on the piano during a Washington, D.C., fashion show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Saturday.
Stone was a part of the pre-show of the American debut of "A Dress to Change the World," a co-ed couture collection designed by Jeff Garner of Prophetik to honor the late Princess Grace.
His performance opened the catwalk show.
All proceeds of the event help the museum acquire works from artists featured in the museum's current exhibition, "40 under 40: Craft Futures," of which Garner is part.
Garner — who works under the Prophetik label — creates distinctive fashions inspired by the dressmakers of the Civil War era and his southern home of Franklin, Tenn.
Prophetik shows at London Fashion Week, where Garner was named "2010 Eco Men's Designer of the Year."
"A Dress to Change the World" will have its world premiere at the Salle Empire – Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo during the 30th anniversary royal tribute, "Grace, A Symbol of Change."

This is a steal for the price - it's a very good quality coat from the leather down to the details. There is a furry zip out lining that has slashes so the wearer can still access the two breast pockets in the coat. The coat lining is slightly quilted and good quality also. I have seen jackets with no zip out linine for more than this coat.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? True to color
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality, zip out lining, heavy inner lining
- How accurate was the sizing? Very
I bought this coat for my husband, and I was so excited. I had no clue what Lambskin leather was like, and I thought it would just be like a regular leather coat. I was so wrong. The first week he wore it, the coat got caught on a door handle and left a huge rip in the leather. Now it is completely unwearable. I gave the coat two stars cause it wasn't the company's fault necessarily. My brother in law informed me that he has a lambskin coat just like this one, and his ripped as well, down the middle of the back. For anyone looking to buy this coat, I would suggest getting it as a coat that isn't worn all the time. You will be very upset to have spend over XXX$ on a paper-coat that has a huge rip in the leather.

And Now for Something Completely Different ...
Since we're headlong into the New Year, and the 2007 listmania has ended - Best Of, Top Ten, Bottom Eleven etc. - permit me to right an historic wrong among jazz critics. Since I'm not one of them.
There's no debating that jazz has become an international phenomenon. However, the stale argument about who's moving the music forward still rages. While Americans can clearly take ownership of our national treasure, it's foreign-born artists like the Austrian pianist, Hans Groiner, who are finding ways to bring improvisation and art music back into the mainstream. Without any further discussion, bear witness to the Most Overlooked Artist, two years running:

Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia Mesh Repair: Effect on Testicular Blood Flow and Sperm Autoimmunity
Dragan Krnić, Nikica Družijanić, Ivana Štula, Vesna Čapkun, Duška Krnić
(Department of Surgery, University Hospital Split, Split University School of Medicine, Split, Croatia)
Med Sci Monit 2016; 22:1524-1533
The aim of our study was to determine an influence of incarcerated inguinal hernia mesh repair on testicular circulation and to investigate consequent sperm autoimmunity as a possible reason for infertility.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective study was performed over a 3-year period, and 50 male patients were included; 25 of these patients underwent elective open mesh hernia repair (Group I). Group II consisted of 25 patients who had surgery for incarcerated inguinal hernia. Doppler ultrasound evaluation of the testicular blood flow and blood samplings for antisperm antibodies (ASA) was performed in all patients before the surgery, on the second day, and 5 months after. Main outcome ultrasound measures were resistive index (RI) and pulsative index (PI), as their values are inversely proportional to testicular blood flow.
RESULTS: In Group I, RI, and PI temporarily increased after surgery and then returned to basal values in the late postoperative period. Friedman analysis showed a significant difference in RI and PI for all measurements in Group II (p<0.05), with a significant decrease between the preoperative, early, and late postoperative periods. All final values were within reference range, including ASA, despite significant increase of ASA in the late postoperative period.
CONCLUSIONS: Although statistically significant differences in values of testicular flow parameters and immunologic sensitization in observed time, final values remained within the reference ranges in all patients. Our results suggest that the polypropylene mesh probably does not cause any clinically significant effect on testicular flow and imm... read more

Mossberg: Windows 7 narrows the gap with Apple's Mac OS XWalt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal has given Microsoft's Windows 7 a glowing review, noting that Microsoft's latest operating system is still behind Apple's Mac OS X, but not by much.
A known Apple advocate, Mossberg's positive take on Windows 7 is a big change from Windows XP and Vista, both of which the columnist felt were vastly inferior to Mac OS X.
"In recent years, I, like many other reviewers, have argued that Apples Mac OS X operating system is much better than Windows," he said. "Thats no longer true. I still give the Mac OS a slight edge because it has a much easier and cheaper upgrade path; more built-in software programs; and far less vulnerability to viruses and other malicious software, which are overwhelmingly built to run on Windows."
He continued: "Now, however, its much more of a toss-up between the two rivals. Windows 7 beats the Mac OS in some areas, such as better previews and navigation right from the taskbar, easier organization of open windows on the desktop and touch-screen capabilities. So Apple will have to scramble now that the gift of a flawed Vista has been replaced with a reliable, elegant version of Windows."
Windows 7 is set to debut on Oct. 22. A Home Premium upgrade will cost $120 ($200 standalone); Professional upgrade will cost $200 ($300 standalone); and Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade will run $220 ($320 standalone).
It's launch follows the debut of Apple's latest operating system, which was released at the end of August. Mossberg said both offerings from the rival companies are more evolutionary than revolutionary.
In his August review of Snow Leopard, Apple's latest operating system upgrade, Mossberg said the upgrade is a decent improvement, but not a "must-have upgrade." He said the $29 product is priced accordingly, because Mac OS X 10.6 is not a "typical Apple lust-provoking product."
In the Windows 7 review, Mossberg drew many parallels between Windows 7 and Snow Leopard. He said the new taskbar is similar to the Mac OS X dock, but improves on the concept in some ways — namely Aero Peek, which he said is "more natural and versatile" than Snow Leopard's Dock Expose. The Aero Peek feature allows users to mouse over an open window in the preview screen, which makes all other windows on the desktop transparent.
He also praised the new OS for being faster than Windows Vista, nagging users for security concerns less than its predecessor, and offering a wide range of software compatibility.
But there are a few key areas where Windows 7 falls behind Snow Leopard, Mossberg said. For one, Microsoft's OS "still isn't quite as natural" as it is on Mac, though it's an improvement from Vista.
And though Windows 7 is faster, his MacBook Pro still started and restarted faster than most of the PCs he tested. "But the speed gap has narrowed considerably," he said.

the strategy of mastery
These are words I took verbatim from my favorite scene in my favorite documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The film documents the life of Jiro Ono, Japan's greatest sushi chef- the first sushi chef ever to...
[The paperback galley copies. It'll actually be coming out in hardback and Kindle only etc.]
I already broke the news on Twitter a while back, but yeah, gapingvoid Book Number Three comes out in April [Amazon pre-order link here].
Like I said earlier:
Think of it a wee love letter to the blog. As everything and everybody gets swallowed up by Facebook, Google+ and other "Death Stars", remember the importance of having one's own piece of real estate to call one's own…
It's also very, very short. I was in Brevity Mode at the time. And I made sure to put lots of new cartoons in there, just like last time.
I also didn't write it for the "social media pundit" yakkin' crowd. I wrote it for your Cousin Al, something just to plant a seed in his head. Hopefully one day it'll sprout something.
What's really interesting to me about the book is the timing. In a year where you can't turn on the news without some pundit asking, "Where are all the new jobs are going to come from", this might hint at a good answer, of sorts.
Because the way the economy is evolving, the new jobs are going to come from people who are predisposed to blogging in their underwear, anyway. The people who quit their dead-end, pen-pushing jobs, got a second mortgage, turned their spare bedroom into an office and basically risked everything to pursue their dream. And started a blog to help get the word out.
The people who don't have to wear an tie and go to endless boring meetings seven hours a day for a living.
The people who actually MAKE stuff. The people who actually create real, thriving businesses from scratch. Up and at 'em by six a.m. Before they've had their first cup of coffee. In their underwear. Exactly.
And thanks to blogging social media, beginning that adventure is far less lonely and daunting a process than it used to be, THANK GOD.
Closely related, my regular Twitter buddy, Umair has a WONDERFUL little post over on the Harvard Business Review, "Create A Meanigful Life Through Meaningful Work" where he laments about how most "successful" people he meets seem to make a living these days. As usual, he pulls no punches- he suggests that maybe, just maybe our current depression is not an economic one, but a spiritual and psychological one.
I've been in Manhattan for the last few weeks. Hanging out in all the wrong places (read: painfully hip power hotels), I've had the questionable privilege of overhearing more than my fair share of Very Serious Conversations from the movers and shakers of the world.
And boy, have they been tedious: mostly, about eking out slightly sharper terms for deals for more yawn-inducing stuff (whether flicks, financial instruments, or kicks) that's destined not to matter. So here's a tiny hypothesis: maybe the real depression we've got to contend with isn't merely one of how much economic output we're generating — but what we're putting out there, and why. Call it a depression of human potential, a tale of human significance being willfully squandered (on, for example, stuff like this).
Bravo, Umair! My thoughts exactly. Like the brilliant Guy Kawasaki once famously said, "Make Meaning". That is where the action is, that is where the economy AND the future is going. For all of us, rich and poor.
Make of that what you will…
Congrats for your new book, Hugh !
I see a future where every solo-creative entrepreneur is sitting in their pants, in front of the PC and creating awesome art for the whole wide world.

Oh ANd I'll buy yer book. Congrats on making enough dough so you can actually focus on making some art with a somewhat clear and failry fed…head….ha. Seriously..thats one of my simple goals in life. rock on.
LOVING the title/cover/concept!! Awesome.
I quit a desk job to stay home and blog, so I'm particularly excited about this one, Hugh
I'm sure it'll give many people permission to do the same.
THanks Michelle,
All the ground-breaking "how to" blogging books were written years ago- "Naked Conversations" etc.
I didn't want to do that… Like I said, I wanted something very personal that, God Willing, might plant a seed or two in somebody's head, unexpectedly.
I doubt this book will impress the pro-blogger scene much, but that was't the point of it….
Wonderful Hugh, that your book is no how-to/roadmap/manual! Yay;-)

[…] Freedom is blogging in your underwear […]
Much success to you, love your pictures!!!
