Unconference
Northern Voice 2009 Wrapup
What an epic weekend! So much going on surrounding the best little conference ever, Northern Voice. As usual, I’ll try to detail my experiences with photos and video I shot: Things kicked off Thursday at Federico’s Supper Club with the somewhat controversial (due to political sponsorship) opening dinner which was a lot of fun. It…
BarCamp Vancouver 2008
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’…
Back from Austin – SXSWi 2008 Wrapup
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….
Last call for boarding
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…
Northern Voice 2008 Wrap Up Part 2
A few of us have been noticing that there hasn’t been as much chatter on the internet about Northern Voice during or immediately following the event. As well, the page views on Flickr seemed to be a lot lower than last year. Personally, I think it’s just that everyone hasn’t fully had a chance for…
Northern Voice 2008 Wrap Up
Just like last year, I had a great time at Northern Voice. Like many (good) conferences, there is always too many people you want to talk to or meet and simply not enough time. Maybe next year there should be a scheduled block of ‘hanging in main hall’ just so you have a little more…
Northern Voice Keynote Speaker announced
Tickets are almost sold out to this year’s Northern Voice conference. It was just announced that Matt Mullenweg, creator of the WordPress system that I use to power this site, will be giving the keynote at the conference…although there hasn’t been a post about Matt on the conference site, he blogged about it on his…
BeerCamp
My buddy Duane is cooking up a cool idea currently called BeerCamp which seems appropriate to me since we met over beers at the SuperHappyDevHouse last year. The idea is that a bunch of people camp out for the weekend with the goal of creating a company from scratch during that weekend. Head over to…

MobileCamp Vancouver
On Saturday, I attended the first MobileCamp Vancouver, held at Workspace which makes my second visit there in two days…if I didn’t already have an office, this is where I would set up shop. It really is a cool place. There was lots of things to talk about during the event – too many to…
