under the stars
at the edge of the sea
there's no one around
no one but you and me
we'd talk for hours
as time drifts away
i could stay here forever
and hold you this way

- Meiko

Check out a great new artist named MEIKO. Sweet lyrics with hints of Portishead and Sade but folksy. Listen to her album (a CD yet to be released).

UsabilityCamp

This year's World Usability Day will be held on November 8, 2007. WUD is focused on raising awareness and visibility of usability engineering and user centered design. In 2006, there were 225 events in 175 cities in 40 countries with more than 40,000 attendees. See details from the 2007 Toronto WUD event at usabilitycamp.org.

The theme for World Usability Day 2007 is health care.

We're currently lining up some great speakers and sponsors. We are seeking a great venue for all those expected to attend. Please contact me if you have a venue or suggestions for a large space with capacity for +200 in downtown Toronto.

Inside Track on Mira

I develop new products and services that exist on and use the Internet.

I started building web sites in 1994, when the web was just for geeks, and realized the potential of what was then, an exciting and boundless new way to communicate.

Since then, I’ve helped many clients develop Internet applications and along the way, even joined some neat companies, like mobile device software-maker 724 Solutions, award-winning Bank of Montreal’s BMO InvestorLine and Netscape/AOL.

As an independent consultant, I have helped clients achieve their business goals and deliver to their customers a remarkable online experience.

Currently, I’m focused on projects in the health care space that are sure to help people get more out of their health care experience.

One of greatest social challenges facing us today is a globally sustainable health system - from pandemic crisis to changing demographics to health literacy - the drivers for change cannot be ignored.
