Ed Bilodeau marked the seven year anniversary of his weblog, now called “Designing Learning Environments”. In all of the hoopla surrounding the 5th Anniversary of YULBlog, which Ed was completely instrumental in founding, I was afraid (and I think my fears were borne out) that it would get lost that he has been doing this – and doing this extremely well – for longer than almost anyone else in Montreal. So here’s to another 7 years of Ed’s writing on the WWW!

I was sitting at Laika minding my own business when a thought occurred to me: why not email Boris, who lives just a couple blocks away, and see if he can join me? So I emailed him from my phone and went ahead and ordered. I didn’t hear from him right away, but when I got home I noticed him in my IM list, and pinged him. It turns out he was sitting at a conference table with a bunch of very smart people, and he invited me along.

I arrived about 10 minutes later (the place – Sylvain Carle’s office – was around the corner from my place) and who do I find but a a fantastic group of people who are all involved in building and studying whatever it is that will become the Web 2.0. Check out some photos on Flickr as well.
