I don’t start until Monday, but I’m already in the system — which is actually a neat way to find out your new position title:
A better way to learn your new position title? Via Twitter (see #7).
What’s in a name, anyway?

Why is Beartato named Beartato?
But I still pronounce his name bear-TOT-oh, despite the author’s preference. And in case you haven’t heard, Nedroid is awesome.
I’m an addict
Hi my name is Sina
and I bought a record five t-shirts today. Almost six. I bought six t-shirts today.
I think “don’t” wins / Status Quo / Basic microeconomics
In this stupid trap
Where I am damned if I do
And damned if I don’t.
BONUS HAIKU:
Friendships cannot work
When they’re not really friendships,
But just how things are.
EXTRA BONUS HAIKU:
To maximize your
Happiness, sometimes you must
Minimize your pain.
Another Windsor Update
Here we go:
– I don’t think my drinking density has been this high since Cuba, where I would begin drinking at 10am every day.
– Comparing to the conference I went to last year in September, Quebec hospitality is about 10x better than Ontario hospitality — particularly the food.
– I hope I behaved well tonight.
– I made $8 at the casino tonight, but I’m about to go out for more…..so let’s knock on some wood. *knock knock*
– Tourism, from a public policy view, needs to rethink itself as provider of social service to the public as opposed to a revenue generator for the public.
– An exact quote from my twitter: “Wow, gambling can be so addictive. Thank god I’m a mathematician.” Really though, thank god I’m a mathematician.
– I’m easily replacable. I need to remember that.
– The government of Ontario really shouldn’t be involved in the casino business. Write your MP.
When in Rome…etc
Quick Update from Windsor
I’m in Windsor (Ontario) for the Ontario Tourism Summit, staying at the Caesars Windsor. Here are a few quick updates and observations:
– I rode Via 1 here and it was pretty good.
– Tonight’s receptions at the Canadian Club Brand Centre was a cool venue.
– Casino’s are kinda depressing. Seriously.
– I won $37 on roulette tonight.
– VIP parties with people kissing your ass are conflicting. But I can see why they’re effective.
– We take it for granted, but the ease of communication in our modern world is amazing.
– Toronto is much bigger than people realize.
Good night.
Let’s not jinx this
Today is the last day of summer, and even though I don’t consider summer “over” until October, I can go ahead and say that the summer of 2009 has been the best summer of my post-childhood.
I fully expect summer 2010 to be even better, 2011 better than that, and so forth.
How Sina met Katie
Sina: Hi
Katie: Hi….
Sina: You have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen
Katie: Oh…thank you
Sina: No really. Absolutely beautiful eyes.
Katie: Thanks *smiles*
UPDATE (27 January 2010): For those who’ve asked, and for future reference… Yes, this is actually how it happened.
Honestly though
Sons: Can you drive me home after?
Sina: Duhhh
Sons: What does that mean?
Sina: It means of course
Sons: And what does that mean?
Sina: It means YES, I can drive you home. gosh
Sons: Oh okay
