Tips on writing a zombie evacuation memo
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Amanda Ripley, BCM, BCP, CDC, disasters, evacuation, zombie on October 31, 2011 | 1 Comment »
One of the biggest risks about evacuating your office in the event of an emergency is getting people to actually evacuate safely. You can send all the emails you want about procedures but like the boy who cried were(wolf) sometimes we hear the warning alarms so frequently that when we really have to evacuate [...]

Even before the slew of recent severe concussions in the NHL (it’s all the rage since Sidney Crosby got his) or fractures to cervical vertebra, we knew that hockey was hazardous to the health of those who played the game. But did we know it is hazardous to those who watch it too? According to [...]
In Flanders fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In [...]
I’m not dead yet

This story in today’s Globe and Mail kills me. I guess it’s true what they say about death and taxes. If you were looking at the financial data from Toronto-based funeral company, Arbor, you might think that people were dropping dead left and right in Canada recently. Is swine flu claiming lives? Are Leaf fans [...]
An Elin rant

Poor, poor Elin. I am not condoning Tiger’s actions or mocking her pain but I think she’s done much better than most divorced mothers, immigrants and ex-nannies. “I’ve been through hell,” she said. “It’s hard to think you have this life, and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re struggling because it [...]

Siri Agrell of the Globe and Mail reports about a man who will self-immolate at the G20 - when the PM of India is here - to protest the 1984 Sikh genocide. The Integrated Security Unit noted that their officers are trained to react to these sorts of things. But I bet this is the actual reason the [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Army of Darkness, Ash, G20 on June 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Toronto Star reports:”Toronto police arrested a 53-year-old man on the Esplanade in downtown Toronto Thursday afternoon and confiscated a chainsaw, sledgehammer, four baseball bats, a crossbow and fuel canisters from his car.” What! Doesn’t this sound like the stuff you’d find in Ash’s car in Army of Darkness or Evil Dead 2?
