Maybe It’s the Style at the World Bank

You’d think that Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, would’ve spent some of his hefty salary to replace some worn-out clothes for his many public appearances, but noooooo….

AP photos of Paul Wolfowitz taking off his shoes at a mosque, revealing holes in both his socks.
Visiting holy shrines calls for holey footwear.

Perhaps he’s setting a good example by not being an ostentatious dresser, but dude, get some new socks.

Toronto (a.k.a. Accordion City)

Reminder: Toronto Transit Camp (Sunday) and DemoCamp (Monday)

Toronto Transit Camp banner.

Don’t forget that Toronto Transit Camp takes place this Sunday, February 4th at the Gladstone Hotel between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.! There’s not cost to attend, but space is limited, so if you haven’t registered yet, do so now.

And on the day after — Monday, February 5th — DemoCamp returns with DemoCamp 12! It takes place at No Regrets and starts at 6:30. Now that we all have a year’s worth of DemoCamps under our collective belts, we’ve made some changes to the format to see if we can’t improve the experience for everyone. Like Toronto Transit Camp, there’s no admission for DemoCamp.

His Name is Gabriel

Deenster and newborn baby Gabriel

Okay, so now I have confirmation: Deenster’s baby’s name is Gabriel David Maxwell Stevenson and not Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K, as I had assumed earlier. Good thing too — having a name like “Urhines” (I believe it’s meant to be pronounced “Your Highness”) would give any kid some kind of complex.

Once again, congrats to the new parents! Now the adventure begins…

I Dare You to Put This on Your Resume

Photo of two people shaking hands, captioned with 'I'm so market leading, I shit solutions'.

Maybe being in the tech evangelism business has finally twisted my brain, but this really made me laugh out loud. I wonder if I can get this printed on a batch of Tucows t-shirts…

New Kid in Town

Gabriel's crib is ready and waiting!
Actual crib soon to be occupied by Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.

I just heard that Deenster gave birth to a healthy 8-pound baby boy. Rumour has it that his name is Gabriel, but until I hear actual confirmation, I shall assume that his name is Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.

Congrats to the Deenster and Kiff, and welcome to the world, Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K!
