Luke Clare just pinged me that Gowlings will be holding a free event, “Starting and Managing a Company in Troubled Times” on June 23rd. Lots of good info for those who are starting or started their own firm. And the IP Audit topic should be mandatory. Just based on my experience.
You should be able to register here. (but can’t right now for some reason.) Go here
Here’s the full itinerary:
Props to my buddy Rob McLean for bringing this to my attention. There is now a mobile app for PR, Marketing and Advertising Pro’s - name M-Insight, (PR People blow at product names) It’s essentially a centralized source for PR web resources, and it works on Windows Mobile, iPhones, and the all important Blackberry. M-Insight was released by the MWWGROUP – the same guys who came up with the McDonalds ‘i’m lovin’ it’ commercials. A nice demo is available in the Youtube link.

One of my favorite books is The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, which helped me see things I intuitively knew in a new light – a rare gift. I enjoyed both of Gladwells other books Blink and Outliers and judging by a non scientific office poll many others enjoyed them too.
If you did too, you might like to know that Mr. Gladwell will be in Ottawa giving a talk this Thursday at the NAC. There are some tickets still available and they’d make a great father day present, or I hope they do. 
In any event I thought I’d share Malcolm Gladwells latest article that Appears in The New Yorker Magazine, which I’ve been passing along in emails for the last week or so. Seems relevant with the NBA Finals on.
I
may be late to the game on this one. But while using a urinal at the Clock Tower the other day, I noticed Cigarette advertising…. since i was under the impression this was now banned it was a bit of a surprise. Particularly, the message of a greener, deadly product.
… what the $13.5 billion we just spent propping up the auto industry could have done towards building up the next generation of Bio, Clean, Info Tech companies.
The contrast of government support tech gets versus manufacturing sometimes makes one ask what kind of future we’re really all aiming for.
