I just noticed that they finally posted the schedule of events for the Mesh Conference (which takes place on May 30th and 31st, smack in the middle of Toronto Tech Week).
Each of the conference’s days has a theme:
- Day 1, Wednesday, May 30th, is Media and Society day.
- Day 2, Thursday, May 31st, is Marketing and Business day.
Last year’s always-on-TechMeme opening keynote pundit was Om “GigaOm” Malik; this year’s is none other than Mike “TechCrunch” Arrington. Day 2’s opening keynote will feature the world’s most powerful PR guy, Richard Edelman.
There are lots of interesting names and presentation topics — go check out the schedule.
I suspect that a number of us from Tucows will be attendance — I plan to be there.
After a long period of relative inactivity, I’m getting back into accordion practice and plan to play way more often this year. It’s time to kick the ol’ squeezebox old school!
If you’re a regular at Kickass Karaoke, you probably know Diandra, pictured to the right in a pirate outfit.
What you may not know is that she was offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance at an interesting job working on a film — in Jerusalem. The job will take her away from our fair Accordion City for a year.
Such a big change deserves a big send-off, which is why we’re having a gathering for her tomorrow night on Queen Street West. We’re going to start off at Lot 16 Bar (1136 Queen Street West, a couple of blocks east of Dufferin), which is probably the most friendly and unpretentious bar on the Drake Strip. Cheap, too!
We’ll probably end up at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West, at Dufferin) for some karaoke. Yes, it’s not going to be a Carson karaoke night, but it will be karaoke nonetheless.
The fun starts at Lot 16 at 9:00 p.m., and Wendy, I and the accordion will be there.
“Aleupp”, whom I know by way of Miss Fipi Lele, says that he’ll be watching for these 10 things during tonight’s Republican Candidate Debate…
- Whether Duncan Hunter can out-anti-immigrant Tom Tancredo.
- If anyone brings up Giuliani’s cross-dressing stunts, or his 3 marriages, or his ties to questionable figures in NYC.
- How often Reagan’s salad is posthumously tossed.
- How many of the 10 guys proclaim to be “the real conservative in the race”.
- Whether John Cox will get a turn to speak.
- Whether anyone will care if he does.
- How often Sam Brownback brings up Jesus.
- Just HOW TRAITOROUS are those Democrats?
- If they actually let Schwarzenegger in.
- How funny Ron Paul actually is.
Drinking game, anyone?
That’s right: NASCAR romance novels…

“Latawnya, drugs are bad for you,” said Mother and Father horse. “I had a friend who secretly took drugs,” said Father horse. “He accidentally took an overdose and died,” said Father horse.
Someday, “Latawnya” will be as well-known to children everywhere as Goldilocks, Rumplestiltskin or Winnie-the-Pooh.
