The details are now confirmed for the September edition of the the Vancouver Third Tuesday event taking place on Tuesday, September 25th at SoHo in Yaletown [map] at 6pm.

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…
Just got home from a fun evening out at the Alibi Room in Gastown. It was a fan meetup of sorts to celebrate the 100th episode of the Lab with Leo Laporte which is shot in Vancouver. I’ve been a fan of Leo’s work since the early days of the Screensavers and was actually in…

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…
I’m currently on the road for work and visiting family…and suffering through craptacular wifi reception…which is one reason why I still haven’t posted a WordCamp recap or some stuff from my adventures in California – soon, I promise! That said, I just wanted to direct you to Rebecca’s site to support her efforts as part…
Tonight is DemoCamp at WorkSpace in Gastown. This is the second DemoCamp this year and my first one so hopefully they’ll be gentle. Doesn’t look like they are fully booked so if you’re around, come by and check it out…there will be a gong! UPDATE: just got back from DemoCamp….it was pretty fun, albeit hot…
