Nortel is changing, the management team that CEO Mike Zafirovski has brought on is making some bold calls. Not only are executives like Joel Hackney improving our cost base and delivery efficiencies, but two additional people that Mike brought on are doing some new things now that are particularly great.

My friend Boris Mann (a founder of Bryght) has recently launched a new recipe sharing site, Food Like That, based on the open source Drupal CMS platform that hosts this website and many others. Bryght, Boris's company, provides hosted Drupal sites and contributes a lot to Drupal.

A story in today's Toronto Star, talks about Toronto discussing the banning of plastic bags, or in the very least, recycling them.

I'm personally all for banning them. In the past, most of my bags came from the grocery store, but now I use bins instead of bags for the most part.

So, it's been a week since I dropped Meg off at the airport. And let me tell you, I do miss her dearly. It's interesting to live alone once again. Meg only lived with me for two months, but it was a great two months.

I do miss having her around to talk to, but thanks to technology we have been able to email, chat or talk everyday. I can't begin to imagine how much different things would be if we didn't at the very least have email. I mean, we'd go days without making contact which just seems so weird.

I miss her, and can't wait to see her in a few months - and it's only been a week :)

Just wanted to let you know of the new addition to my links on the left hand side.

While there isn't a lot of content there yet, it will no doubt begin to ramp up as she leaves in a weeks time.
