Because I enjoy bridging business, technology and design. Opinions are my own.

We're very excited to follow the evolution of OiC contributing artist Emilie Darlington's (https://t.co/e6oa8BowPW) new mural at the Rideau Centre!

We love sending packages to classrooms full of young artists! ❤️
PS: Teachers, get in touch!

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.

As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

@CelesteCote Also, include the hyperlink or describe the issue so it can be found by the humans. Bonus points for platform and device type.

You know your product is doing well when you have to unbrand so that some of your externally sponsored clients can continue using it. https://t.co/nQ4sY3qcB5

COVID has one goal. To spread. Here are the repercussions of ONE source of #COVID19 at an indoor sports practice.

60 people (still rising) tested positive over 18 days.

170+ people needed to self-isolate and 7 outbreaks were declared.

Our actions matter. Please be #COVIDWise

It's bittersweet to witness organizations realize they can reach a wider audience (and improve profitability/business goals) by doing a few tweaks to improve accessibility.

I've been reluctant to post this.

I recorded my reaction when I saw the #accessibility settings in #TheLastofUsPartII for the first time thinking it would be a fun video for posterity. I...did not expect this.

This is why we do what we do. 😢

Thank you @Naughty_Dog.

@RogersHelps @33aboucher fyi.

@PRESTOcard I've tried it on three browsers. It doesn't work.

I figured I'd give the no-face touching app a try, without my face. Works pretty well on my plushie.

Thanks @MaxineRosalie for the doughnut sticker. Just realized it's foiled! 🌟 @Ottawa_CM

@trevvg @krismausser and a desire to learn.

Josh higlights that there's a cost to being cheap when you are a start-up. It catches up long-term if you don't invest in talent and people that align with your purpose. You can't fake culture because it always surfaces. @Ottawa_CM @dominioncitybc #CMottawa #Ottcity #CMinvest

[Maxime G-K @MaximeGK]

Josh displays an example of collaboration. By connecting to local distributor, they were able to create a network of suppliers to make hyperlocal products, in a profitable manner. @Ottawa_CM @dominioncitybc #CMottawa #Ottcity #CMinvest

[Maxime G-K @MaximeGK]

Josh shares that inclusion and diversity is important to connect with your community. Beer and products don't need to alienate others. It also makes your organization more creative. @Ottawa_CM @dominioncitybc #CMottawa #Ottcity #CMinvest

[Maxime G-K @MaximeGK]

Huh? Josh mentions that you should invest in your employees first. They will trickle down to make customers happy and therefore investors. Makes sense. @Ottawa_CM @dominioncitybc #CMottawa #Ottcity #CMinvest

[Maxime G-K @MaximeGK]

Josh reflects on his family's view on capitalism. Purpose before profit. Ultimately, you do it for the people, in a feasible way. @dominioncitybc #CMottawa #Ottcity #CMinvest
