Well, Me. My name is Shawn Day and I am a PhD student in the History Department at McMaster University in Hamilton.
Academically, my research interests revolve about nineteenth century Canadian economic, business and social history. Most specifically the role of drink and those who served them in late 19thC Ontario. More broadly I explore the adaptation of technology and information visualisation to the pedagogical process.
Professionally, I earned my stripes in the dotcom boom as jack-of-all trades in co-founded development ventures. Prior to that I was a self-employed journeyman involved in diverse aspects of information architecture.
I have some history in technology and a joy in life is catalyzing the reaction between technology and the study of history.
Is this an up and coming phenom? Zopa and Prosper are two two startups offering to bring together borrowers and lenders and offer . The sense of ‘Simness’ (as in simcity/sim this sim that) is an interesting note. … As the author of this survey on these two services note, they even add fun to the act of borrowing and lending…quite an accomplishment.

I noticed the cellular swap site you mentioned sellswap.
I used celltradeusa.com with success.
