#quote #peoplecity
"In this fast-paced world it is too frequently the case that people accept what society, family members and the authorities, whom no body ever seems to question, believe regarding how to live their lives. And yet, the happiest people I know have been those who have accepted the primary responsibility for their own spiritual and physical well-being - those who have inner strength, courage, determination, common sense, and faith in the process of creating more balanced and satisfying lives for themselves." - Ann Wigmore...

[Video] Retrofitting suburbia. Sustainable Greater Saint John #peoplecity
I love Saint John and, when I think of it, in my mind it includes Rothesay, Quispamsis, and Grand Bay-Westfield. The video below makes a point I would like to promote, that explains how arguments supporting sustainability and anti-sprawl are not anti-suburb. We have suburbs and we have a large chunk of our population and future immigrants who prefer to live in suburbs. These neighbourhoods are a valuable piece of our value proposition as a community and I wish for them to be healthy, sustainable, and prosperous...

foursquare :: Main Street Dangerwalk :: Saint John, NB
Hey Foursquarers - check in on the Main Street Dangerwalk - you know, the viaduct where we have been forced to walk and bike alongside 6 lanes of highway traffic since Harbour Passage was blocked and active commuters were dismissed. If you have the means, post video clips and pics to your social media accounts and spread them far and wide and feel free to add links to your posts to the comments of this blog. We've seen many people tightrope-walk the wrong side of the viaduct, cross 6 lanes of high speed traffic...

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates Together
I spent the evening watching this interview tonight and decided to share it, realizing how interesting it is to get a deeper look at the two personalities that have had the biggest impact on our daily lives in this generation. The names of these two men will be legendary for centuries to come as Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Eatons still are. via youtube.com
