This is a continuation of my liveblogging from Podcamp Toronto 2011 today. Again, don’t expect Engadget-at-an-Apple Event-like speeds (I don’t have that much gear) but I’m going to try to quickly summarize some of the salient points I catch from each presentation I attend. Hope you enjoy!

I’m forcing fate – are you?
Do you tempt fate, or do you force it? Do you ask fate for a favour, or do you grab it by the horns and tell it where to go?
Today I watched one of my favourite commercials (from the Nike Force Fate campaign) and it gave me a (good hard) jab in the ribs to remember to keep my eye on the prize. How are you forcing fate?

Brian Williams squared
Brian Williams (CTV) and Brian Williams (NBC) are both iconic television powerhouses in their own right. Sharing a common name and job might be difficult but I’m sure it’s brought them a few laughs over the years. Check out this video of when the two Brian’s got together while in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics.

As my cousin once said about a coffee shop in Poland, “They couldn’t make good coffee if their livelihood depended on it…oh wait! It does!” Well I found another brand who’s livelihood depends on their product and have released a video about it. Can brands be *too* honest or are they just being transparent?
