Some words from Colin McKay on Government 2.0

June 6, 2009 by Colin

Now you can judge for yourself – do I need to get a haircut, or just let it go more wild?

Janice Cunnigham and Asha Jhamandas came over to pre-record a short interview for “Lasso the power of wild wikis and bronco blogs” – a session they presented at the annual Editors’ Association of Canada conference held in Toronto last week.

    Well done Colin – I will most likely re-post the video on my blog. My favorite moment of genius:

    “Find the mix between all the different online technologies to see how they establish a presence online, and how they reach the greatest audience, with the smallest effort in the most relevant way”

    Thanks for sharing.

    Colin – you definitely need to cut that hair…unless you’re playing junior hockey now and haven’t told anyone. Good post though.

    Thanks for sharing – as a former PCO staffer in particular, enjoyed hearing more about the work you’re looking to do. I have no comments on your hair though – looks fine to me!

    Liber generationis Jesu Christi

    “Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”
