In the Meantime...

We've currently got 5 interns hired in the Halifax Region! It's a bit of a slow start, but by next week, we should have 3 or 4 more.

In the Summer, we had a weekly 'Challenge' that ran as an overall seasonal competition. (You can check them out under the 'challenges' tab to the right.) At the end of the work term, the student with the most overall 'wins' won a wicked techie prize pack. The challenges went really well, so I think we shall go for it again!
Starting next week, I will be posting a weekly challenge for you all to participate in. While the challenges are optional, I highly recommend you take part. There is little reason not to unless you are extremely, extremely busy during your work hours (in which case we will be expecting a post detailing all of the sweet stories from your site!) Further, the blog garnered a lot of interest in the Summer from the Province, so your work is definitely appreciated!

In the meantime, this week, I'm going to post a few tidbits to check out. They could be very helpful for future challenges... hinthint!

So now: TED Talks. If you haven't visited the TED website before, get comfortable, because once you start watching, it's hard to stop!

This speaker talks about the importance of gaming - very intriguing!



And here we have the future of digital imagery:



And lastly, virtual friends:
