telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

8 Weeks to a Greener Planet: Week 2

April 29, 2008  /  jules kivell

You know them: the wimpy “wanna-be” plastic bags that litter the bottom of your refrigerator crisper drawer. Those bags that protect your “fruits and veggies” from the regular grocery cooties. Grocery stores like them, they make the checkout process easier. There’s no chasing of grapes, no parsley shrapnel, no leaking of *just misted* celery. Those wimpy wanna be bags. You can’t even re-use them effectively for lunch bags or poop bags. Who needs them?

You need a fresh fruit and veggie bin, the perfect accessory to the green grocery bags that you’ve undoubtedly purchased over the past few months. I’m boycotting the wanna-be bags from here on in. The hard part - convincing Grocery Gateway to cut out the plastic. They’ve got a habit of bagging every darn thing. Stay tuned on my progress. Technorati Tags: ,
