warning: this is a “look at me and my friends” post, but that’s what’s running through my head this last week. sorry.

First, meet neath. Is my idea. I’m the “someone”.

I wish I were here for that. I’m going to Providence on Sat to hang out with my best friend, Dylan, the only guy I’ve kept in touch with from american prep school. Then to Boston to spend time with my lovely sister and her family. They finally just relocated back to the east coast. So great. Lastly, I’m really psyched that Ethan Zuckerman is in town on tuesday and is able to meet up. He’s been an inspiration for 5 years now and having a chat in person will be a real treat.

Flying back to montreal on wed and then leaving the same day with Daniel Drouet to Toronto for a Community Wireless Infrastructure Research Project (CWIRP) workshop on thurs/fri. We’re trying the new Porter Airline right into downtown Toronto, so that’s kinda neat. Alison, Tracey and Gabe will be there so I’ll be totally friend powered-up for a while. Grandparents on the weekend and then talking with Phillip of Community Bandwidth before I return. He’s been active for a while now, and although I’ve met him several times, I haven’t ever really talked with him about his work and what his specific goals and strategies are. I want to do that in conjunction with finalizing a vision/strategy for Oppidan.

I probably should go plant a thousand or two trees to offset my flying. Especially the whole boston - montreal - toronto on the same day. :-\ That was kinda of a cluster@#4, but it’s difficult when partners cover transport.

and I wanted to share that I dressed up as St. Laurent street for Halloween. It felt very civic. Of course, all done with found objects.
Right now there are stretches of mountain ranges of old asphalt shards up and down the street. I walk / clamber / jump / do small dances on them and think of infrastructure.
