The town's primary economy is the tourist trade and its not exactly a skip and a jump from Halifax.

She's been in a lot of geek-friendly movies, so she's pretty recognizable among the tech crowd who are likely to implement the next big gadget trends. And she's cute and non-threatening to "normal" people, which then lends a similar vibe to potentially daunting new technology for them.<br /><br /><br /><br />...I may have been watching too much <i>Mad Men</i>.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099611204738228668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-88392198852559851632010-01-06T04:47:06.287-08:002010-01-06T04:47:06.287-08:00Now, Ellen if from NS - and, if memory serves - Ci...Now, Ellen if from NS - and, if memory serves - Cisco based out of California, but I swear I've seen Cisco ads in Canada for some time.
