Yes...we have another Nancy White in Canada that wriotes these kinds of songs, although not in the change room of saunas on islands in Puget Sound. Not that I know of anyway.<br><br>The song wasn't recorded except on a private video recording of the event. It lives, like Harrison's birthday song from OSonOS, alas, in that medium only.
<br><br>By the way, Nancy, Kenoli and I called ourselves "Viral Dynamics." No word on the world tour yet!<br><br>Chris<br><br>And this puts me in the mood for another OS poetry contest, he offers to the Poet Laureate....perhaps satire this time around?

The euphoric bullshit Nancy White is a Seattle-based goddess/consultant
who incorporates a lot of online community/technical consulting into
her work. I can understand why Canadians would like to take
credit for her: she is a dazzling, wild goddess. But she is

over 120 days for each group............and will include <br>'in-room' work,
1-1 coaching, a listserve and lots of reading and <br>listening to CD's.
One group is all women, one is a diversity council <br>group of both men and
