cn tower, here I come again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.09.01

Fifteen years ago, I climbed the CN Tower; not having learned my lesson, I'm climbing those stairs again.

It's all for charity, of course, and I encourage sponsorship. I've joined the team of NexJ, a software vendor with whom my employer has a relationship.

Strangely, they no longer allow cameras—or even MP3 players!

rand()m quote

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
