Hey guys. Just a quick message to let you know host Nora Young interviewed me for Spark on CBC Radio One. The show airs tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. (12:00 NT). If it helps with the American time conversion, when it’s noon in the Northwest Territories, I think it’s 10:00 a.m. in New York City, 9:00 a.m. in Chicago and 7:00 a.m. in Los Angeles. If you don’t already listen to CBC Spark, you should. It’s an awesome “blog, radio show, podcast and an ongoing conversation” about tech & culture. They explore the digital divide, voting via the internet, the history of digital communities and tons of other thought-provoking topics. They’re great. Plus, because they’re public radio, a bunch of their interviews and other stuff is 100% freely available online. You can listen to the podcast of my interview here:

Thanks! :) I also sent an email to a couple friends and FBC readers in Canada. Spark’s great; I enjoyed doing the show.
Enjoyed the brief but tightly packed interview on Spark. It’s led me here, so there’s a result. Will spend some time after work checking this take on the sexy.

Sounded good!
@ Damien: Thank you for getting down with the funky brown! :) Kick back, relax, and enjoy point and clicking your way around the site.
@ Mitch: You listened? LOVE IT!! Thanks. :)
Great stuff. As a regular reader, and a life long ( well, almost life long) listener to CBC radio I enjoyed this a great deal. Wonderful to watch and listen as you become a media figure. Way to go Nora Young for finding you..
Aww, thanks!! I really really really appreciate the regular readers. I need to do another reader appreciation day sometime soon!!!
Discovered you via the Saturday afternoon spark rebroadcast.
I noticed within 1.5 and 2nd generation Muslim in North America, this group dating phenomena, of self-organizing girl groups then meeting up with self-organizing boy groups at numerous larger Islamic Conventions as early as 2001.
It was a way for the young’uns to find a way to ‘date’ without compromising their religious worldview nor feeling uncomfortable when reporting back to their parents about how they ‘met’ this great ‘muslim brother’ or sister they just met.
As Jeff Goldblum in the Jurassic Park movie said, “Life finds a way…”
Determination…… is a wonderful force…… may all welcome it’s embrace….

HiMY SYeD: THANKS for commenting and sharing your thoughts. Yeah, I can totally see a *bunch* of benefits of group dating for all cultures. :)
@ lamesabassman: Hey, that’s a Beatles lyric. :)
