It's DemoCampMontreal2 night at the SAT. The presenters look pretty interesting this time around, so I'd suggest signing up and swinging by the SAT at 6:30pm.

• HughMcGuire - Collectik (or possibly the project behind door #2)
• Martin Dufort - Kakiloc : Mobile Social Networking (We are back on after some arm twisting by Austin ;-))
• iotum Talk Now Technology Preview on BlackBerry - Try it Today
• Brett Gaylor - Open Source Cinema
• BumpTop

These are two articles I found interesting in in Coolopolis this morning:

• Breakdancing in Terrebonne circa 1960
• Before the Park Pine interchange

I found this over on Ella's blog Cerrier. I hadn't seen it before so I thought I'd repost it:

Apparently on January 17, 2007 CBC Radio 2 announced that Brave New Waves would be removed it's line up, and according to Justin at Metroblogging Montreal this is it's final week. This represents the end of an era for me. I grew up listening to Brave New Waves... I first heard it when I was 14 and Augusta La Paix was the host... I listened to it throughout the Brent Bambury years, and continued listening to it well into Patti Schmidt's run.

Since it aired on weeknights from midnight to 4 a.m I had many a rough and sleepy morning throughout high school. Really it had a bigger influence on my musical tastes, probably even my personality, than any other single media source. Every year I'd visit my father in Ontario (I grew up in Moncton) and be armed with lists of albums to be filled at Record Peddler in TO.

In University I'd written countless papers in all night sessions accompanied by Brave New Waves (and multiple pots of coffee). In recent years, the 9 to 5 years, I haven't had the chance to tune in too often, but I'm very sad to hear of it's passing. I almost think of it as the passing of an beloved institution... The air waves will simply not be the same :(

Last Tuesday I was slouching down the street, still on the sicker side of well, when a Bently pulls up to me and the person inside beckons me over. The man in the car was a very funky styley fellow who spoke little to no english, and shamefully enough my french can only really be described as sad.

Wow it's been over a week since I've posted anything... now that's a shame. Today I posted a review of the Expo Manger Santé to Midnight Poutine. If you like organic food it's an event well worth checking out. However, tomorrow is the last day, so if you can find some time around the St Patty's Day parade you should head on over to the Palais des congrès.

At any rate, I got really sick last weekend, and I've spent most of the week recovering.

I haven't really been training, going out, or writing all that much. However, the past week did see me miss my chance at a possible modeling career ;) (more on that later), and it witnessed my meeting a wonderful woman (but not so sure I'll write about that... too personal).

Life keeps interfering with training... I've got to find a way to curb it or at least accommodate it better. I'm not going to complain too much though because I've had a great week.

But skimping on training can't continue; I've got goals that I have to achieve!!!

Sun (Nada -- Nuit Blanche left me destroyed)

Mon (Nada -- too busy with work and other obligations)

Usine C is a great performance space. I'd never been there before last Thursday, and now I've been there twice.

I've decided to make a resolution to see more performance art. It's been a while since I've seen something as stunning as Johnny Ranger's Les Constellations Dynamiques (my review on Midnight Poutine), and it left me wanting more...

And on Saturday I got more when I went to see ROBO_COOP (my review on Midnight Poutine) as a part of Nuit Blanche. It too was impressive...

A week full of computers, robots, music, and dance... I'm not complaining.
