Nike advertisement presented as a city hall planning notification in talk by Dave Meslin at TEDxToronto2010. Meslin argues that civic communications present a barrier to people's involvement in political life and (possibly as unlikely as the Nike ad) he imagines the type of communication that would invite people to engage.

Why Brain Attic?
In 'A Study in Scarlet' Arthur Conan Doyle wrote: "I believe that a man's brain is like a little empty attic, and you stock it with such furniture as you choose....the skillful workman will have...nothing but the tools which will help him doing his work..."
As we now know, Conan Doyle's analogy doesn't quite tell the full story of the brain but nevertheless this blog is a place for me to store notes that, if not logged here, might be forgotten.
