Once again, it’s time to start planning for SXSWi which is coming up pretty fast in just under two months. It’s the annual ‘geek summer camp’ held in Austin, Texas every March. Check out my previous posts about it to see why you might want to go. Now is the time to start doing a…
I spent most of yesterday on Granville Island at BarCamp 2008 and it was a blast. Things actually started off Friday night at WorkSpace for the opening night party and then up bright and early for the actual ‘unconference’ on Saturday. This year, I helped organize PhotoCamp which is one of the few pre-determined ‘tracks’…
BarCamp is happening this weekend and a component of that is PhotoCamp. What would like to talk about this year? Submit your topics here in the comments or on the wiki. A few things that are on the table which will be finalized this Saturday include: a photowalk around Granville Island RAW vs JPG –…
I really wanted to do a proper, long and detailed wrapup post for SXSWi but I’m not going to because there was just so much going on and it’s still digesting in my mind what transpired in Austin. That and I’m really tired due to a day at the airport, flight delays and BBQ withdrawal….

The countdown has begun to Thursday morning when many Vancouver locals will crawl out of bed much eariler than normal and head down to YVR to board their flights to Austin, Texas for the 2008 edition of South by Southwest. Many of us will be on the same flight which should make the trip that…
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…
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…
Signups have started for the 2007 installment of BarCamp Vancouver on August 17th/18th. I’ve never been to a BarCamp before and I missed it here last year. I also never got to it when I was in Austin for SXSW the past couple of years either so I don’t want to miss this chance. I’m…
