The coolest startup in Toronto has been recognized by the finacial post. They deserve all the attention and praise that they get because the company, it’s people, the technology, the setup, the scary lathe in the basement are all awesome.
I would really love to see more of the Tech Rooster so everyone should go support him at 1938media.

THE TORONTO CATASTROPHE SLAM
"a day of dialogue over Toronto disaster
scenarios".
Be part of this unique day of dialogue and challenge for academics, students, professionals, not-for-profit and the public. The purpose of this event is to exchange knowledge and ideas with others on the topic of catastrophe, disaster and emergency. This is a rare multidisciplinary engagement that will include informative keynotes and participatory challenges that will be designed to examine scenarios including a Natural Disaster scenario, a Health Epidemic and a Security Crisis. For more info on the Catastrophe Slam check out http://digifest2008.wik.is/
WHAT IS A DESIGN SLAM
A Design Slam is where we have a fictitious group of stakeholders present a problem to groups "consultants". We will form these groups randomly at the beginning of the event. These ingenious and innovative people will have a set block of time to design and pitch their idea to the stakeholders.
We have 30 slots that we are opening up for free public registration to the Catastrophe Slam but I encourage you to check out the entire 3 day Digifest event for $25.
