<p>As I've related to some folks who've asked already, I thought BarCamp went really well. My entire morning was packed with very interesting conversation : talk of a Canadian mobile users advocacy group (to help instigate change in our <a href="http://walkah.net/blog/walkah/wireless-rates-canada">wireless data rates</a>, followed by an excellent discussion about <a href="http://mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a> with <a href="http://beltzner.ca/mike/">Mike Beltzner</a>, and then a pretty killer debate/discussion about the new <a href="http://developers.facebook.com">Facebook developer platform</a>. Perhaps it was just me, but I was pretty well spent by lunch so the afternoon seemed a little less jam packed. I did lead a session on <a href="http://openid.net/">OpenID</a> which spurred some interesting questions and discussion, but after that I kinda just hung out.</p> <p>As I've related to some folks who've asked already, I thought BarCamp went really well.

<p>Yesterday, I spent the day at the <a href="http://enterprisecamp.org/">Enterprise 2.0 Conference</a> down at the Metro Convention Centre. While sometimes referred to as "enterprise camp", this was nobody's unconference. Despite some scheduling snafus (we ended up having to hold both tracks in one room and things ended up over an hour off schedule), I think it went well. Of course, I was there doing my <a href="http://enterprisecamp.org/node/13>OpenID song and dance</a> again (to a slightly different crowd). There was more interest in OpenID than I had guessed there would be amongst "enterprise" folks. I also learned that a very large insurance company here in Toronto implemented a very openid-like identity system in house a few years ago, and are considering migrating it to an openid-based solution. Very cool!</a>.</p> <p>Yesterday, I spent the day at the <a href="http://enterprisecamp.org/">Enterprise 2.0 Conference</a> down at the Metro Convention Centre.

<p>Sadly, however, I think that about wraps my participation in tech week. No, for those who keep asking, I will not be attending <a href="http://meshconference.com/">Mesh</a> today and tomorrow. Maybe next year...</p> <p>Sadly, however, I think that about wraps my participation in tech week.

<p>For those of you who hadn't heard: two weeks ago (on November 1st), I moved. I have finally said "so long" to the suburbs. If you're familiar with Toronto, I'm now living on Gladstone Ave, just north of Bloor (near Dovercourt Park). I have to admit, I'm pretty darn happy about it.</p> <p>For those of you who hadn't heard: two weeks ago (on November 1st), I moved. I have finally said "so long" to the suburbs.

<p>Despite having been on the road for 11 of my first 15 days in my new place, I feel like I'm already starting to settle in a bit. I've already met 4 neighbors, am walking distance from pretty much everything I need (including Rosie's convenience on the corner which just so happens to stock organic dairy and organic coffee!) and it turns out a handful of friends already live in the 'hood.</p> <p>Despite having been on the road for 11 of my first 15 days in my new place, I feel like I'm already starting to settle in a bit.
