Trying to use iPhone at U2 concert, data connectivity not working. Blackberry conspiracy?
Canada 4th in global IT competitiveness, and 1st in IT R&D. Not bad! http://bit.ly/1i3G1V (via @lisamurphyTO)
Watching Andy Richter dominate Celebrity Jeopardy. Wolf Blitzer seems to be a slow responder.
The Wave is going around the top level of the SkyDome at the U2 concert.
Heading out to see U2 at the SkyDome in Toronto.
Saw “Perrier’s Bounty” at TIFF, exposing the seedy underbelly of Dublin in a comedic fashion. Reminds me of Trainspotting, but a bit slow.
One good thing about election talk in Canada - it’s the only thing that gets the Conservatives to pay attention to Toronto.
Toronto International Film Festival starts today! My first film is “Perrier’s Bounty” tomorrow. Looking forward to it! #tiff
Had a nice leisurely walk through the AGO. Very relaxed now.

Reserved a spot for copyright consultation tonight, but was never told where. Consult Fail. Thank @rodolfonovak for noticing it @ Royal York
Ran into @oliviachow handing out pamphlets at Copyright Consultation. Royal York security does not like!
First comment at Copyright Town Hall: Jazz Musician complaining about kids today not appreciating the value of music.

Toronto copyright town hall starting up.
Yay for getting rid of Crown Copyright! #copycon
It is looking doubtful that my number will be picked to speak at #copycan. Too many imdustry types and slow speakers!
Guy hosting largest file server in Canada. Actually makes some good points about sharing ideas. Industry people are all laughing. #copycon
I give up, I’m not counting corporate speakers anymore. Obvious !Canada #copycon is loaded in favour of industry (via @jgoguen)
Will this guy keep going? Guy just stands up and starts talking. This is pretty entertaining.
RT @640k: Worst characterization of the voices here ever: four camps; “artists”, “pirates”, “exception-ists”, “do nothings” #copycon
“This has been a sham” - best quote of the night at the Copyright Town Hall. #copycon

And a word of caution - the shaky cam in District 9 makes it one of those movies you want to make sure you are far from the screen!
Saw District 9 last night. The premise and first half was good, but the end felt like watching someone play a videogame.

All right, I am starting to get excited about the Mad Men premiere this weekend. Time to start looking at options on how to watch it.
If there’s an inspiration deficit, blame the young. You’d think they’d want the political reins. http://bit.ly/1aqbWw (via @globepolitics)
