This Thursday, October 4th is the next DemoCamp event at Workspace in Gastown – a very cool place and the home of BarCamp as well as this Flickr story. As I mentioned a few months ago, DemoCamp is an event where people show up, pitch something they want to demo and the rest of the…
Tomorrow, Friday, September 21st is the last day for voting on the submissions for panels at the 2008 South by Southwest Interactive Conference. If you have a moment, it would be great if you could vote for Frank and I. It just takes a few moments to register and vote. See my previous post for…
Last night I was fortunate enough to be invited to talk with Robert Sanzalone on his live pacificIT Radio show in Japan. He’s currently living in Japan and is a technologist from the Vancouver area with his finger firmly on the pulse of everything in this Web 2.0 world. There is still something cool to…
or something like that. Just a reminder to check out my submission for a SXSW Interactive 2008 panel/presentation….every vote helps make it happen! Get the full scoop here! Thanks for your support! While you’re at it, why not give Anne and Sande a vote too! They have two sessions up for voting and which look…
During BarCamp this year, Kris Krug hosted PhotoCamp which was actually a session within the BarCamp program and not a longer event as I had originally thought. I touched on it very briefly in my BarCamp wrapup post but thought I should elaborate on it a little more since there was lots of good stuff…

We even talked to a number of panelists to get some insight into the process (special thank you to Jonathon Snook for the extended chat at the Iron Cactus!). Once we got back home, we gave…
Apple is now selling refurbished iPhones…save $100 before you hack it! Unfortunately (and as expected) this doesn’t appear to be available on the Canadian Apple Store.
The 2007 BarCamp Vancouver is over and it was a lot of fun. This was my first BarCamp and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Friday night was the ‘bar’ part of BarCamp which comes before the main event all day Saturday. Got to meet and talk to a ton of cool people, some of…
Since I’ve been playing ‘with the big boys’ with my DSLR for a few months now, I’ve gotten more comfortable with using a digital camera with a lot more features than the average point and shoot. Getting more comfortable means starting to be more creative which is one of the reasons I got back into…
I’ve always been a fan of macro photography (aka really close pictures of things) so when I got my Nikon one of the first kinds of lenses I looked into was a macro lens. Unfortunately, they are quite expensive, costing more than my D40 kit alone. So that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. Fortunately…
