Movember at Work

The president of our company has actually added this to her company .sig file for the month.

"Prostate cancer is not conquered yet...and November is Movember. Please support the Taimma Mustache Consortium's effort to raise funds and awareness for this worthy cause! Our "Mo's" thank you!"

Sadly, I'm not sure that link actually goes to our team donate directly, because Movember seems to make it very hard to figure out how to send people a donation or team link.

(I can send people to my link easily: http://mobro.co/lightcastle but not to a "donate" link directly, which seems silly.)

Conte SLAMtastique Storytelling - Monday 7pm

The second story slam hosted by JD Hobbes is this Monday and I do intend to be telling. (Don't know what yet, I might make it up on the spot.)

Shaika Cafe
5526 Sherbrooke Street West
Montreal, Quebec
Deuxieme lundi de chaque mois, 7pm // Second Monday of each month, 7pm
Prochain Slam: 14 novembre 2011
Next event: November 14 2011

Cinq juges, cinq minutes, des contes incroyables!
Five judges, five minutes, incredible storytelling!

It's bilingual, 5 judges are selected at random from the audience, and the tellers only have a strict 5-minute limit.

I'm curious to see how it will come out. The French storytelling scene is supposed to be big in this city, so I expect I will be blown out of the water by professionals.

Details are at the web site if you're curious.

Functional Imagining

An error discovered in a script at work:

"In addition, you will learn about functional imagining and contrast agents for imagining."

I am pretty sure "functional imagining" is something many people I know have actually practiced, but I'm a little concerned about what contrast agents are appropriate for it.
