Comedy puts technology in perspective - LouisCk on Conan

Went to a series of great events this week that all featured humour to make their point. Great stuff including this video of comedian LouisCK on Conan O'Bryan on the frenetic pace of technological change. If you were born before 1970 this should really hit home.

Really enjoyed the keynote by West Van Deputy Superintendent Chris Kennedy. Some great apps including Visible Tweets. He also shared this video and I have to agree that everything's amazing and nobody's happy. Hopefully, this will make you happier...

There has been much talk about privacy and the information people post on social networking sites like Facebook. Still, few of us are truly aware of the "Digital Tattoo" we leave behind. I recently attended a workshop on the subject and I am pleased to share the materials for our followers.

Don't say we didn't tell you...
