being (no)body

I’m go off the air…again, this time for just 1 week.  I’m heading off to the wilds of Northern Ontario with my family to camp and I’ll be pretty much off the grid until August 27th.

See you then.

m3talink updates for August 16th:

• YouTube - Social Networking in Plain English is We made this video for people who wonder why social networking sites are so popular. We think one reason is because they help to solve a real world problem. www.commoncraft.com/show
• YouTube - Video: RSS in Plain English is We made this video for our friends (and yours) that haven’t yet felt the power of our friend the RSS reader. We want to convert people and if you know someone who would love RSS and hasn’t yet tried it, point them here for 3.5 minutes.

Apologies for the month hiatus…I was off in Nepal working with the Leave For Change program.  It was a great trip, and the volunteer work I did as a web developer with the Fair Trade Group Nepal was very productive.  I even managed to keep a travel blog about my trip.  On the downside, I ran out of time before I left, so I didn’t even have a chance to post about the hiatus, and I was only gone for 3 weeks, but became quite sick when I returned.

In any case, I’m back now, so we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming now.
