Website Launch

You'll remember that Jo's daughter Corey was one of the enthusiastic founders of a grassroots movement called "Stop the Crazy".  They approached me to help them with a website, and here it is: www.stopthecrazy.ca . We're still adding content to this fledgling website, but it's "live" and you can be among the first to check it out. 

Happy 2013

Here is Will Schwalbe's web site, Cookstr.com.  The recipe for Chocolate Chip Cranberry Muffins is amazing.  I've also made Fisherman's Pie more than once.  So yummy!

Those who are free in the daytime may be interested in the lecture series provided by Learning Unlimited Etobicoke.  I'm taking Designs on You this term. They have another series of lectures in the works for the fall.

On the subject of feminism in the twenty-first century here's where you can hear the interview with Sherry Cooper, the retiring Chief Economist and Executive Vice-President of BMO.

We also had a few lively words about file sharing.  This is a video of Aaron Schwartz giving his perspective.
