The following is a guest post by John Bollwitt Photo credit: John Bollwitt on Flickr I’m hardly an expert on the subject of Electric Trolleybuses in Vancouver but do take my fair share of them in my commute to and from work, not to mention the post I made about not owning a car on […]

Duane Storey – There was a possibility that Duane was going to be away during Blogathon this year but as it turns out he’s in town and has been going strong for about 20 hours now. Since he confirmed his spot so late and truly supports the cause, he teamed up with my effort for […]

John and I just walked over to Duane’s house so he’s officially the “D” for my A-Z of Metro Vancouver. Since the next post will be his “meet the participants” entry I’ve decided to feature some of his photos here. They’re not his typical HDR shots and that’s kind of why I felt showcasing them […]

It’s no secret, I love me some hockey and my team of choice since 1980 has been the Vancouver Canucks. Instead of giving a rundown of our organization that appears to be rebuilding at this time, here are some links to some of my favourite Canucks blogs. Canucks Hockey Blog – By JJ, our co-host […]

Colleen Vince – While attending a Vancouver Podcaster Meetup at the Edge Cafe on Commercial Drive, I first met Colleen and hung out with some of the fine people behind the Row Three Podcast. This year Colleen has decided to take on the Blogathon, writing for 24 hours on her site. Colleen’s website: 353 Review […]

Danny Dang – “Danny Dang is a blogger, wannabe photographer, systems administrator, technophile, and a full time geek.” Twitter brought us together virtually and Fraser Valley WordCamp joined us in person… albeit again through Twitter while I was giving my presentation.

Mehnaz Thawer – Mehnaz was one of the first people to sign up for Blogathon Vancouver, and this truly inspired me (and made me thankful I’d found her super entertaining blog). She was able to reach out to her charity and they even included her Blogathon effort in a press release: “Blogging is an excellent […]
