Delusions of grandeur
Rewind: it’s (Mo)vember 2009 and we’re boarding a flight up to Calgary, AB enroute to Winnipeg, MB for the National Business School Conference. This was my first executive conference as I had missed WCLR last year. Not knowing what to expect, we arrive in Winnipeg during what was unusually warm weather for the Asper folks, yet uncomfortably cool relative to my west coast environment.

Battle of two heavyweights: Blackberry vs iPhone
When it comes to smartphones, traditional thinking is that Blackberries are for business, while iPhoned are targeted at creatives and the consumer market. In the past, I could accept that, and to a large extent even now, this still holds true.

Alberta Bound!
Three months ago, I happily accepted a communications position with the University of Victoria for the summer as a coop work term. Never did I think that—instead of walking up the street to work—I’d be driving 1000 miles to Calgary, Alberta!
And here I am, two days from leaving for what should be four of the most exciting months of my life! I’ll be working as a Business Analyst in the Finance department as part of the internal consulting team.
