I’ve temporarily run out of stories to tell, so I’ve put out a call for you to share your stories here. If you have a story to share, please let me know! Today’s story — uncut and unedted — is from Karim Kanji. It’s a perfectly-timed post about someone he finds inspirational, so it only makes sense to post it today.

Many of you who know Vasta know that outside of being a great story teller and student of people’s, he is also a social media…student. I’ve had a chance to listen a a few of his podcasts and am amazed that this former Boy Scout is so technologically talented.

I’m not. Which is why I enjoy Nora Young.

Nora Young is host of Spark. Spark is a CBC show, a blog and a community of sorts. Check it out at cbc.ca/spark.

The reason I enjoy Spark and Nora Young is because of her take on technology. You see, Spark is a show about technology. But it’s more than that. It’s a show about today’s life — which just happens to be happening at a time of massive technological change, shift and development.

Nora has a way of presenting her program that speaks to me — a person who uses technology and social media but is not a student nor professional user of these tools.

Yesterday I had the chance to hear her speak about her show and technology during a Third Tuesday Toronto get together. And I also took the time to tell her my thoughts about her show and how I am able to enjoy it because of her style.

So, thank you Nora Young for widening the circle and allowing the rest of us to participate in today’s technology shifts.

Thanks to Karim for today’s story. Have a story to tell? I’ve run out, so please share your own!
