a Big Green Utility Box near Brentwood Station, tagged in some form of alien glyphic language. I, for one, welcome our cryptic-graffiti overlords.
We went down to the zoo for the afternoon. Evan is turning into such an amazing young man. We had a blast hanging out together.
Phishing is nothing new. But they keep trying new tricks. Here’s the latest modification (on top of the clever ASCII-Art form and spoofed email address):
The phishing email is apparently ©2010, The University of Calgary. Well, I’d sure believe that. We’ve been told to trust everyone who claims copyright, right?
I assume/hope there is a standing order to fire anyone on the spot for providing their account info to these moronic phishers.
When Naheed Nenshi was campaigning for mayor of Calgary, he used Twitter and other social media extremely well. He was obviously tweeting/etc himself, rather than letting his PR committee handle it for him (as all other candidates appeared to do). Now that he’s been elected mayor, he’s still showing how to use social media effectively.
He’s the mayor of a major Canadian city, and he still makes time to engage with citizens on Twitter and other social media. Not as a way to manage spin, but as a direct democratic channel.
It’s his job. This is how it’s done. I fracking love this guy.

we explored a bit of 12 Mile Coulee on our bikes this afternoon, finding our way to the pedestrian/wildlife tunnel underneath the Stoney Trail ring road.
the trailing edge of the high pressure chinook system, with less summery weather being sucked along behind it. the week of Summer in November will be ending soon…
I wonder if I can retrofit my current bike with handlebar flamethrowers…
I watched the earthshine glowing on the dark side of the moon for most of my ride this morning, followed by a spectacular sunrise. #whyiride
We had a school council executive meeting today, talking about communication, process, and projects. Good times.
they warn you that it’s loud. but it’s a different kind of loud. I think I felt my brain turn to goo for a moment, before the magnets slapped it back together.
