Speaking in Canada (PEI, Waterloo, Ottawa) next week

I'm headed to Canada for some speaking gigs in the coming week, in PEI, Ottawa, and Waterloo:

Waterloo: Sat, Sept 26, 2:30-4PM, University of Waterloo, Arts Lecture Hall. Free, open to the public. Sponsored by the Independent Studies Programme, where I'm a Scholar in Virtual Residence.

Ottawa: Mon, Sept 28, 7PM, Ottawa Writer's Festival, Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities, 314 Saint Patrick Street (at the corner of Cumberland). $15/$10 Student or Senior (Free for Festival Members and Carleton Students)

Charlottetown, PEI: Wed, 1 Oct, 8:30-9:30AM, Access 2009, "Copyright vs Universal Access to All Human Knowledge and Groups Without Cost: The State of Play in the Global Copyfight"

I love coming home to Canada, and it's a delight to be getting out of the usual Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver rut. I'm looking forward to seeing you!

"Virtual residence." What does that mean?

Finally a Canadian appearance I'll be able to make it to. See you in Ottawa.

Love to see you out West some time Cory.

Macdonst,

I hope you had a chance to see Cory here in Ottawa last week at the DFAIT. Twice in one month, a surprise for Ottawans indeed.

And if you should happen to be hanging around the Toronto part of your rut on Saturday October 2nd and you should happen to drop in on miniSoOnCon, you are TOTALLY getting in for free. Just sayin'. The joint Ryerson/Western/Lawfield Elementary MakerCulture project will be there (http://makingmakers.posterous.com). Might be fun. Just sayin'. :)

wish you would make it here to Arizona sometime...

[C White #10 14:23 on Tue, Sep.22]

Right on!

Hopefully see you in Ottawa.

Naturally, nothing on the west coast. I feel disenfranchised.

Like the Duke of Wellington said... "See you in Waterloo!".

Ah yes! The Waterloo independent studies program where students get to define their own education and research. I laugh because I was a part of that program at one point back in the 90s. Lots of fun - some *really* good stuff came out of it. I also remember some of the ... shall we say ... unique research projects? "Scottish tapestries and holistic healing in modern life" was one that caught my eye back then.
