I thought I would take a moment to post the above video for those who have not been following Brian Frank since "the beginning". Brian Frank is one of the brightest thinkers that London (and perhaps the country/world) has living in it. Brian offers thought provoking comments and commentary on almost all subjects and helps the rest of us to think in a more creative manner.
Taken from his website BrianFrank.ca, this is what Brian has to say about himself.

To boil it down, I study creativity — as deeply and broadly as possible — from the inside as well as the outside.
That means not just learning from other creative people and reading the relevant literature, but primarily doing creative things — all kinds of creative things, the most creative being to create an education (starting with developing the concept of creating an education) — and studying the process along the way.
I have to say that since I first met Brian in person I've begun to not only be more creative in my personal endeavors but I have made a point to become more involved and creative for the sake of the city I live in.
I urge you to check out what Brian has to offer over at http://brianfrank.ca/ and stay in tune with his comments on everything from economics and politics to urbanism and the creative city.
note: please don't be fooled, Brian has much more to offer than just talk about the maple leafs and mayonnaise
Comments
@nickwynja: the mayonnaise line was spontaneous - but not in this take. The smile is relief that I finally had something barely presentable (and with enough irony to deflect any embarrassment this was sure to cause) after what was really way more effort than this deserved.
