7 - Upcoming event! Plus Interac, 500, robots, and cute kids on Japanese TV

A-hoy-hoy!

I have been away for awhile. Part of it was busy-ness (and relaxing)… and part of it was a Trump-induced depressive lethargy. 😩

Event: OnPoint – Do we need a new relationship with transportation and mobility in our region?

I have been invited to participate in a panel discussion on transportation. If you happen to be in Kelowna on Thursday Dec 8, come out to this On Point session. There is wine and cheese, and lots of interesting people to meet. Plus, you will get to heckle me in front of 200-300 people!

Interac and your privacy
Cash rules for privacy, but maybe Interac is okay too (if you are in Canada).

The unexamined blog is not worth writing
If you look back in detail over the past 8 years, you would probably be surprised how your thinking has changed. At 500 posts on my blog, I was.
