Haiti Crisis Camp Montreal

Went to the Crisis Camp this afternoon, which I think was good for me. I'm not sure if a real project will come out of it, but am hopeful. There are some really smart, motivated people there. It was definitely a preliminary meeting, and the next step is figuring out if there is a project we can actually contribute to other than just extra eyes and brains on the data stream.

Still, it was a good experience. Since I have nowhere to host my SuperBowl party, I don't mind giving up next Sunday, either.

(P.S. I was interviewed for PRI's The World. Odds are good I'll end up on the cutting room floor, of course, but if not the episode should broadcast Monday.)

J'ai tue ma mere (review)

Wow, that was a lot of overacting and self-indulgent crap. "I'm an Artist! I'm misunderstood!" To be fair, I've known teenage Artists like that, so it's not like it is devoid of all verisimilitude. I think it was supposed to be deep, however, and that it certainly is not.
