This is an oversimplification, but a necessary one: there’s two ways to interpret tonight’s elxn results. 1) The Tim Houston PC Party brand is more popular than anyone predicted. 2) The PCs are more organized, motivated and better managed than the NDP or Liberals. #nspoli

I’ve spent the last few years not reading much news. Starting to dip my toe back in the water this weekend. Listening to an episode of This American Life this morning, just discovered @TangleNews - great mix of coverage for post-partisan, alt-middle, independent, integral types

How Daily Freewriting Changes The Way You Think and Speak: Our perception of reality is built on language. If you don't evolve the way you think and speak, nothing else will change either. If you change the way you think and speak, nothing will ever be the same.
