Toronto was on fire!

This was our first time to Toronto, and let me tell you–we love this city.  The Design Thinking conference was fantastic. I spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of super smart, good-looking designers, all dressed in black.

Our first night in Toronto, we awoke at 2AM, to a fire alarm. The exit signs at this hotel are a major failure in information design. Fortunately there were no flames.

The Toronto Meetup Was a Hit

So, I had my first social networking phenomenon in Toronto. I twittered and blogged that I’d be in Toronto at Second Cup on Wednesday night and the coolest group of folks came out for a fascinating discussion on life values, passions, politics, presentations, communication, and paying it forward.
