telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

I Admit - I Love Violent Acres

Ever since stumbling upon it last week, I am addicted to violent acres. Her blatent no bull attitude, her hilarious commentary that pokes fun at the real world, and the sordid people populating it, everything.

Sure, folks are noticing. Ben Metcalfe noticed, but I don’t think he’s as thrilled as I am. The Zero Boss also has a few choice words.  The vast majority of the blogosphere is taken up with angst about violent acres.  Who is she?  What is she doing?  Is it all for her blog-ego? How come she won’t identify herself?  Ben went so far as to reverse engineer her site and came to the conclusion that she’s no ordinary blogger, her back end (no pun intended) is too customized and technical for most folks to pull together.

Violent Acres just put up a FAQ, answering many of the questions that people have been asking, and she hits the nail right on the head.  She’s my new double-espresso shot for the morning. Gets the brain going, no sugar needed.
