Montreal. And more Montreal.

It has been a while indeed since I mused about my beloved home town. I may even go back soon now that the 10 month Winter has thawed. Two quick thumbs up for it today:

1. Go Habs Go. Eleven years removed and it still thrills me when the Habs win (code for the local hockey team). Imagine the contest I could run to find a local San Franciscan who could tell me what a Hab is. Anyway, they survived a Boston rush this week and won their first playoff series. Took all seven games to get it done. Either way, I was longing to be at the Bell Center tonight.

2. Hats off to the folks at Tungle, the latest in meeting scheduling technology and the latest Montreal start-up to make news out here. Led a by a very patient yet visionary CEO, Tungle went live this week in time for Web 2.0. While many may wonder about the eventual business model, one cannot argue that they are attacking a very real problem. And from all the reviews from blogs with a gazillion more readers than mine, they have delivered an excellent product.
