While at first blush Lincoln Alexander has little to do with technology, the words that we exchanged when I received my first degree from Guelph continue to shape my engagement with technology. He also, in just a few sentences, gave me some of the best professional advice I’ve ever received in my life. Though our exchange at convocation wasn’t anywhere close to my first time speaking with Lincoln, nor would it be the last, it was the deepest and most significant. Alastair’s ‘goodbye’ captures my thoughts about Lincoln in as sincere a way as I’ve ever seen; I highly recommend watching Alastair’s address.
