Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Terry lovers, I’ve met my ‘almost twin’ in a Bollywood movie. Confused? This weekend I saw a delightful film titled “Wake up Sid!” and fell completely in love with the female protagonist. Her name is Aisha, and by the time we meet her, she’s moved to Bombay (the film doesn’t use the name Mumbai) with […]
March. Tis a month where everything becomes crazy busy, time moves quickly and the libraries are even more crammed than usual. But assignments aside, March is also a time of amazing talks and events around campus. Don’t miss out – some of the deepest learning I’ve done at UBC has been through attending incredible lectures […]

Dear UBC Community,
In the early hours of Saturday, 27th Feb 2010, an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 (the eighth largest ever recorded) struck the coast of Chile, severely affecting six of the nation’s provinces. At least 800 people have been confirmed dead and 2 million have been left without shelter or food, in […]
I’m attending the SCARP Symposium today. And one of the required readings (I’ve never been to a conference that had assigned readings!) is a manifesto written by Mark Holland on October 22nd 2009 titled “Resilient Cities and Regenerative Regions”. The manifesto is wonderful; the last section about commitments is phenomenal. I’ve included that last […]
Warning. Attending Terry Tales is hazardous to your health. At least that’s been my experience. I walk out of each session in such an absentminded happy cloud, that I’m sure one of these days I’ll fall into the pond outside the Global Lounge on my way out.
So far so good though, and we had another […]

In fact, I can’t wait to hear all about it. Our next Terry tales session is planned for March 1st, and I want you to come so we can eat cookies together […]
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Oh Terry readers! No happiness is complete without sharing it with you, and I am most definitely in a wonderful mood. It is days after our Terry Tales event on Feb 8th, and I’m still floating on a cloud of joy.
If you’re still confused about what exactly Terry Tales is though, what sort of stories […]
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 Terry readers, you know that lovely feeling of being in the midst of amazing conversations and wonderfully interesting people? And how that heady mix of excitement and energy and passion stays with you long after you’ve left the room? That’s what our first Terry Tales event was like. It was originally described as an evening […]

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 Terry friends, it’s here!! Terry Tales, our long awaited storytelling project, is finally, finally here! You may remember it described at TEDx Terry Tales 2009 as a chance to continue the wonderful conversations that happen at events like Sir Ken or TEDx Terry talks 2009, and to share your awesomeness with us. Because while conversations […]
