  2. Hi Niel,
    I’m from Indonesia and I’ve never known about you until unintentionally I saw your ‘talk’ in TED.
    Just one word for you: AWESOME!
    For me, watching your ‘talk’ in TED has reminded me one thing: there are so many beautiful, graceful, amazing and awesome things that have been allowed to happen in the world, in my life.
    What you are doing is so inspiring. Really. I mean it.
    Keep awesome!
    Regards,
    Jeffrey

  3. Conquering the dreaded Yogurt Cap Rim Peel.

    normally when i open a yogurt or a pudding cup or something w/ one of those little tin foil caps, it pops right off. but every so once in a while, all that comes off is the outer rim. i usually resort to sticking my finger in the middle of the cap and peeling outward, but once its finally off?
    AWESOME!

    Heard you speak at the OLA conference! One of our best sessions! Thank you for you insight and encouragement. I had my principal come hear you speak; we needed a little “Awesome” to share with staff. It was a rough start to this school year, we had a student commit suicide. And yes, we were part of the crowd celebrating that you were from Oshawa!
