Since everyone is doing it, I thought I should do the same although I have a hard time putting them in some kind of order…so they aren’t! Here is my list of the random things from last year that stood out to me in no particular order: my iPhone – in case you haven’t noticed,…
A few weeks ago, I attended the organizing meeting for Third Tuesday Vancouver organized by Joseph Thornley. I had heard about the Third Tuesday events in Toronto and Ottawa and thought it would be interesting to get involved in the local version myself instead of just being an attendee. I got to meet a bunch…
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…

Finally have a chance to post about the Blogger Meetup that happened on Wednesday. This was my second meetup and it was a lot of fun. Many of the same people turned up at a new venue this month that was quieter and more conducive to having good discussions if not a little cozy. We…
Just got home from the April Blogger Meetup. I had never gone before and met a bunch of interesting people, took a few photos and had some good beer. If the Canucks had won game one of the second round of the playoffs, it would have been a perfect night but they didn’t but it…
