I still haven't ranted about teacher's college yet. But don't worry, that'll be coming soon.
Since I'm stuck in Kingston for another couple of weeks, I'm living a virtual Toronto life by following the municipal election. Check out Spacing Votes for a civic-nerd fix, in large part provided by Gleaner editor Karen. There's a recent link there for a newmindspace event where the carbon dioxide that contriubtes to global warming was represented by 3000 black balloons near metro hall. David Miller came to it and told off the feds - there's a video on the spacing site. Also, check out newmindspace for further cool campaigns, like the process for naming your alley in the city, and an upcoming event involving a whole bunch of LED lights.
