Last year, a coworker and I made a submission for a panel at SXSW Interactive. Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough votes (but thanks for yours if you took the time!) – that or it was because we’re not internet rockstars (yet). But I’m still going as an attendee and finally took a closer look at…
There is a lot going on over the next little while around town and elsewhere. Here’s just a few of the events you should check out. Tonight (Sunday, January 20th for you slow feed readers) Watch Rebecca (aka Miss604) on CBC’s Test the Nation where she (and a few other locals) ‘represents’ on the Blogger’s…
This post is for all my non-geek friends that don’t already have an Apple sticker on their car. Don’t buy anything Apple related today…wait until tomorrow which is when Steve Jobs will most likely announce an update to whatever you bought today, thereby making you mad at me for not telling you when (and what)…
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,…
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…

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…
As SXSW 2007 was winding down, Frank and I were discussing the possibility of presentating at next years conference. 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…
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…
While vacationing in Sunnyvale last week, I took some time out to attend WordCamp 2007 in downtown San Francisco. It was about the only thing I had planned to do while down there as I mostly just wanted to hang out with my friend Jason who recently started working at my personal mecca, Apple. The…
