From Dave on Flickr When Uncleweed is on tap for a speaking engagement I make sure not to miss it even though I’ve seen him do over a dozen talks in the years I’ve known him. In fact, his F*ck Stats Make Art talk last year was so successful that he was asked to present […]

By John Biehler on Flickr Is advertising dead and if so, who killed it? Chris Heuer‘s talk becomes a discussion rather quickly surrounding marketing, advertising and its shift to reality and reviews in the online realm. “Big clients, small clients, they’re coming to me and saying my advertising isn’t working anymore,” Chris then plays a […]

As I took my seat at the very front of the auditorium (like a keener) for Northern Voice 2009 I realized I forgot my card-reader as well as my camera cable. The result of this being none of my photos will be uploaded until the evening so in the meantime I’m going to grab a […]

Canada’s largest personal blogging conference, Northern Voice, will kick off tomorrow morning with two special keynotes, a main conference track as well as an unconference track.

I have to head up to the podium in a minute but I’ll be updating throughout the day as best I can. Here’s a quick video from Kris and Duane while setting up this morning. Update: Fearless City […]

On the way up to Whistler this afternoon for WordCamp Duane, John, Dale and I recorded a quick podcast. It was a fun trip and we actually found smooth sailing along the Sea to Sky Highway. Upon arriving at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort (home of WordCamp Whistler) we ran into Lorelle at the registration […]

Often there are events for women — women in business, women at home, and women around the world. No matter the context, gathering a group of individuals together for a weekend of networking, inspiration, and conversation is always a good thing, which is why I’ll share some information about “Becoming She – a premiere one-day […]

Northern Voice 2009 is quickly approaching and being that it’s the top personal blogging conference in this fine nation of ours, it’s a pretty big deal.
