Last week I had the pleasure of attending http://talkischeap.pbwiki.com/ at Centennial College.
It was a really cool experience for a few reasons -
1. I met a bunch of hop youngsters in the final throes of the college's PR program. Each student was hip in their own way and certainly many will be a force to be reckoned with once they graduate and get jobs in the biz. I like this!
2. I met a really neat thinker - Brett McAteer (out of Ottawa). It was really a chance meeting and Brett's right wing views really interested me a lot. In an email Brett sent to me the day after ... "I’ve got it! We should be calling this potentially huge niche not press and not public and not media relations but Social Relations. That’s it. I’m going to start the world’s first SR firm, later today, after changing the oil in my car. You ready? It was a pleasure chatting with you, John.
Brett, I am ready in a big way --- hhhhmmmm --- now you got me thinking
3. Nice to sit in on the podcast with a bunch of Toronto PR associates --- very interesting. But I gotta say that I am still unconvinced about the world of podcasting. People are so busy these days, it's like who has the time. Anyway, I suppose there is a space for everything on the planet.
That's it for now. I am nearing the end of another 15 hour day. Woo Hoo!

Thanks for that, John but “right wing”? Don't think anybody's ever called me that... but you can “call me anything you like, so long as you call me.”
