Well it's been awhile hasn't it? 5 months is really not very 'with' the whole spirit/idea of blogging. Let's move on, I'll try harder.

So the latest in a flurry of events (I'll try to back-blog about the others soon) was the World Youth Congress last week in Stirling, Scotland. Actually it still is a conference - it doesn't finish until tommorow, but that's besides the point.

We launched V5 of the TakingITGlobal site on Saturday with Jenn keynoting the plenary session of the conference, and then held a TIG members meeting, 2 discussion sessions, and then three workshops on TIG in the computer lab on Monday! What a flurry of events... and pretty tiring too. In the end though we managed to distribute thousands of promotional materials, including over 600 MDG Youth Toolkits, and get over 100 new TIG members signed up during the workshops.

So due to a flight mixup, we had some extra time in Scotland, and visited Edinburgh with Ben Quinto from GYAN... and I had some lovely Haggis with dinner. Seriously, I would have sworn that knowing what it was I would never try it -- in fact I watched friends that didn't know devour it at breakfast a year ago... but I tried it and it was actually quite delicious. So there. Next time you're at a restaurant and they have Haggis, I say go for it!

Now: In Costa Rica for EDC's Power Users of Technology summit, I'll try to be a better blogger this week/month.

Dear Michel Furdyk,
don't know actually how to contact you, but I'll try here.
will we have another TIG messenger?
Actually I am from Ukraine, and when I've opened your profile, I've became willing to tell you how many organizations, and bright youth we have here :))). If you are interested in all that, I was thinking to give you my TIG messanger address, but now it doesn't work, so you can write me on nataliegryvnyak@yahoo.com, if you became interested.
Sincerely Natalie
