Milestone

Congratulations to my sister Anne, who is now officially the most educated person in the family. One might say she’s a jack of all trades but master of one.

Having, like, a killer time

The people I met tonight who helped make this evening at the Drake one of the most enjoyable so far:

  • Erica, who chatted about Africa despite her laryngitis
  • Cameron, who has some pretty sweet T-shirt ideas
  • Siglara, who reminds me of Genevieve Gorder
  • Glen and Jenn, who resemble each other in absolutely no way
  • Craig, who I actually met a few weeks ago [hey, my list, my rules]
  • Lawrence? Wallace? Drat… I had it when I started this note, sorry! (Alex, please help me out!)

To Lenni and Alex, the two people for whom I was in Toronto in the first place, special thanks for introducing everyone above while we caught up during the unexpected delay. You (glock) rock!

Blog. Play. Enjoy.

…if you really like a particular artist and want to support them… the very best thing you can do is tell other people. Swap those MP3s, burn those CDRs, blog about them, play those tunes in your podcasts. Bring a friend, two friends, ten friends, to a show. Anything you can do to put the art in front of ten more potential fans. Get involved in the quest for fans and help make it happen.

Oh, and by the way, Lenni Jabour and Alex McMaster are playing at the Drake Hotel on Sunday night at 8. Just in case you’re interested or anything.

Robot blocking microformat

Posted on by

How about I rename my robot-blocking profile as a microformat and see if that gets any discussion going?

And while we’re at it, can someone please explain for the record why microformats aren’t encouraged to specify HTML profiles (think namespaces for metadata) to formalize the idea that User agents may… perform some activity based on known conventions for that profile? Because a profile only applies to the document’s HEAD element is not a valid argument.
