  I honestly have no idea how to describe my job right now, other than I'm a creative coder by trade who over the years has grown into a web technology strategist. My day-to-day consists of:
  
  @ Working on the MaRS 2009 web strategy
  @ Advising entrepreneurs on how they can use the web for their innovative idea/business (part of MaRS' offering)
  @ Maintaining all of the MaRS web presences (there are many)
  @ Convening and contributing to efforts of people involved in social technology
  @ Defining the mission and vision of web tech at MaRS (and the community) and grow it into something I haven't quite figured out yet
  @ A heck of a lot of meetings
