David'sSecond experience with online information systems began with videotex systems based on Telidon. He co-managed the international Telidon project for the Third General Assembly of the Inuit Circumpolar Council in Frobisher Bay (now Iqaluit) on Baffin Island.
David once spent a week on HMCS Onondaga writing Life on a Canadian Submarine for Weekend Magazine. For the Montreal Star he was on board HMCS Huron for her Maker's Trials and experienced a midnight call to boat stations during a December blizzard off Anticosti Island.
He also flew ice patrol from Summerside in Prince Edward Island to Iqaluit in Baffin Island in an Electra L-188 used for ice reconnaissance. During the same period he was a columnist for Driving Magazine, and volunteered as Chief Pit Marshal at Le Circuit Mt Tremblant during the heyday of Can-Am racing, and after training in fighting gasoline and methanol fires at a BP oil refinery.
In another life David raised Polled Hereford cows and Arabian horses.
David writes four very occasional blogs (infrequently!) and has published two technical books. He also makes an amazing Trinidad hot sauce that has been called a gateway drug for capsaicin addiction;)
In his current life he lives downtown without cats, dogs, horses, cows or other creatures.
