AMS Elections 2012 Cheat Sheet
AMS Elections 2012 polls close at 5:00 PM, January 27, 2012. I wanted to have this out earlier, but it took longer than expected and I wasn’t able to start last weekend because I was at Waterloo for the Combining Two Cultures conference (blog coming soon). Anyhow, I hope it’s useful! Be sure to vote! [...]
Trade VS Aid

Student Leadership Conference 2012
Saturday was UBC’s Student Leadership Conference (SLC) of 2012. (Unfortunately, I ended up missing Edcamp Delta because I realized that subtracting busing time between the two locations would have me at Edcamp Delta only for the lunch session and about half of one discussion session, so I didn’t think it would have been worth the [...]

Two Things
In this life of froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, Courage in your own. –John Marsden, author of Tomorrow When The War Began
