  • The Bureau of Library Tourism

    I just walked back from the lovely Cookie Bar in Ford City, Ontario, where I was one of the six “fun” speakers at the Bike Windsor Essex AGM. The theme was transportation and the format was pecha kucha: 20 slides that auto forward every 20 seconds. This is what I was supposed to have said.
