Artist Willard Wigan, creator of the world's tiniest art.

from the site: His work is ground-breaking - partly because of the astounding beauty of vision which challenges the belief system of the mind and partly because it demonstrates that if one person can create the impossible, we all have the potential to transcend our own limiting beliefs about what we are capable of.

last week a local newspaper asked me to answer the following question, as part of a series of articles they're running on inclusiveness. the question, and my response, is below. please insert your country of choice, the song remains the same.

HOW CAN WE CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE CANADA AND BECOME BETTER CITIZENS?

The most direct response I can give to this question is for us, individually
and culturally, to encourage and honor each other's unique expressions of
being, while also embracing the commonalities amongst us: to love and be
loved, to see and be seen, to hear and be heard, to have the freedom to be
ourselves in the world, whomever we love, whatever our gender, whatever our
race or spiritual creed. We live in a tolerant society - it is not enough.
We will become truly inclusive when we open ourselves to becoming an
accepting society, no longer afraid of the "otherness" of those who appear
different to us - instead embracing our differences, as well as embracing
the things that unite us.

my very favourite uberbabe recently got some money from the NFB to make some documentary shorts about prostitution and human trafficking in South East Asia.

I'm pretty proud of her. Definitely worth checking out.

Net-workin', that is .....

uberbabes minions take friendster by storm:

Oh, how we love our apples, us apple users. The proverbial underdog choice, so we like to believe, the luke skywalker to Microsoft's darth vader.

But sadly, oh so sadly, Apple is just as big a corporate culprit in the realm of ever increasing computer wastefulness.

Greenmyapple.org is a plea to our favourite sexy design team to heed the cries of the environmental techie revolutionary and do what we know they have in them; make Apple a crusader for a new way of approaching hardware.

Please Steve, we need you!
