Ever since last summer at BarCamp, or maybe even before that, there’s been a buzz around town about Strutta. They’ve hosted all of the Launch Party events so far and even supplied me with one of my best-fitting t-shirts to date back in November. But just what exactly is Strutta? Last night they held an […]

My husband has a great blog that he’s maintained since the fall of 2004. For his last birthday I took a bold step and registered his name as a domain.

Some Nominees (there are many more categories […]

The peas represent frozen peas, actually, and they’ve morphed into this entire support network that […]

I’ve noticed a lot of incoming links lately from sites that weren’t previously on my radar. What appears to be happening is something similar to “The Z List“. This year, Troy Worman has started a meme to recognize outstanding bloggers. There are no awards, no accolades, simply a “pass it on” mentality surrounded by link […]

Photo by: John Bollwitt on Flickr One thing John and I do when we have hours to kill, whether it be at a beach laying out in the sunshine or flying across the country, is hookup our headphones to a splitter and listen to podcasts he’s downloaded to his ipod. I’ve mentioned a couple favourites […]

The guys who brought us social media rooftop bbq’s in Gastown, Bryght, have now been acquired by the the primo Drupal site, blog and podcast deliverers, Raincity Studios. This global-mega-hyper-conglomorate melds together the two single most important companies in Vancouver when it comes to web 2.0, imho. This morning’s news release states: The deal took […]
