		<description><![CDATA[<p>My experience of Toronto has always been that of a vibrant tech life, but everyone tells me that this really just started a year ago. When asked for possible causes, one name keeps coming up &#8211; that Toronto <a href="http://barcamp.org/TorCamp">BarCamp</a> instigator, troublemaker, <b>catalyst</b>: <a href="http://www.davidcrow.ca">David Crow</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.robhyndman.com/2006/05/17/david-crow-20/">David Crow is special.</a></p>
<p>Living in Toronto and breathing in the tech scene is like watching a<br>
Tipping Point example play out in real life.</p>
<p>What makes him special? Here's what I think might be the key:</p>
<p><b>Passion.</b> David's an intense kind of person. Just ask him about <a href="http://www.innovationcommons.ca">Innovation Commons</a>, for example, and he'll speak of it with complete conviction.</p>
<p><b>Drive.</b> His passion is backed by the determination to make things happen. BarCamp in a warehouse? Sure!<br>
He seems to be the kind of guy who never has to worry about getting &#8220;No&#8221; for an answer because he already has five, ten alternative plans.</p>
<p><b>Learning.</b> <a href="http://davidcrow.ca/">He learns out loud.</a> He's always looking for ways to improve things, and he shares his thoughts with others.</p>
<p>He's a true evangelist, and what an evangelist he is.</p>
<p>What can I do to learn from his example, and how can I step into this whirlwind?</p>
