Tom Merritt of CNET skyped in with me for this episode. Tom, of course, co hosts the best (IMHO) etch podcasts out there, Buzz Out Loud. As an executive editor at CNET Tom also co hosts the Read Deal, CNET Live and Top 5. Tom also has a couple of personal shows, East Meets West with Roger Chang and the Sword and Laset with Veronica Belmont. We talked about the community of BOL (or BuzzTown as it is often known) Tom's early days with NPR, and his Tech TV days. Tom has also published a really good novel, Boiling Point, through Lulu.com. Music in this episode is by Jonathan Coulton. Thanks again for this tom, it was great to have you on T6.

Check the polls, then download Dave's conversation with Gerry Kirk of votepair.ca. Gerry is a software guy from Sault Ste. Marie that decided to take strategic voting in the recent Canadian election to new levels with his aforementioned website. The basic idea was that if you thought your vote might have more in effect in a different part of the country you could sign up at Gerry's site and be paired with someone else. You would, in essence, swap votes. As idealistic as it sounds it turned out that vote swapping probably affected at least two ridings in the country. Pretty cool. You never know when there will be another Canadian election as this is a minority parliament, so if you are interested, check Gerry's site out, oh and follow him on twitter... Heck follow Dave and Isabelle too. Music in this episode from Startlefish and Chris Belsito

On September 4, 2008 our University, Algoma, had an official coming out party of sorts. The president, Dr. Ross, the Dean (a two time T6 guest) Dr. Arthur Perlini, the Healing Lodge Singers from Garden River (they were great) and even the Premier of Ontario, the Hon. Dalton McGuinty all came together for our grand opening. It was excellent. You have to listen through this, you will hear a few speeches, all passionate, but the highlights of the day were The Healing Lodge Singers and the Premier testing out some new material. He could do standup if this whole being the Premier of Ontario thing doesn't work out... Thanks to everyone that was there, especially the out of towners, alumni, students and staff. Music in the episode from Sound of a Revolution and Jet Pin Army.
