Tonight I attended the Green Living Show with the lovely Keira-Anne. We got free samples, test drove assisted power bicycles and rubbed some lovely soy and coconut oil all over ourselves. I’ll be writing more specific booth/product reviews but for anyone who is planning on attending the event, here is a quick preview with freebies, […]

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 […]

Everyone is talking about it, from musicians to geeks and social media fanboys and girls, it’s the uber popular SXSW (South by Southwest) festival and it’s happening next week. The SXSW MUSIC AND MEDIA CONFERENCE showcases hundreds of musical acts from around the globe on over fifty stages in downtown Austin. By day, conference registrants […]

Tonight I’ll be at the Lamplighter in Gastown attempting to live blog an event that’s new to me. From my understanding it’s like DemoCamp meets marketing, but there’s much more to it than that.

I’ve always loved looking up at the stars, especially when you get the chance to peer into a night’s sky when you’re out of the city. When I went to Courtenay with Keira a few weekends ago I sat in the back seat of the car from the ferry to her mom’s house just looking […]

Beyond Pink is the first conference of its kind in Western […]

It’s been almost two months now and I’ve been able to learn more each day about my trusty iPhone. Wrapped in its sleek pink silicone cover, we’re still getting to know each other but I think we’re still pretty much in a honeymoon phase.

I recently received an email from Malcolm, a teacher and volunteer who is also a participant in the annual Canuck Place Adventure Challenge. He informed me about this event that place in the fall (going on 3 years now) that involves performing various physical tasks while raising funds for Canuck Place Childrens Hospice. Canuck Place […]

You may have caught Andrew Morrison’s Waiter Blog in the Westender or even seen his name while paging through an issue of EAT or Vancouver Magazine. Now Morrison’s latest creation, Urban Diner, has become a staple of restaurant listings and reviews in this city. As such, they will be presenting the first ever Urban Diner […]

With DemoCamp and Launch Party Vancouver out of the way we only have one week left until Northern Voice. Before that however, there is still CaseCamp this week. Here are some of the details: Photo Credit: teflonjedi on Flickr – From the Miss604 Group Flickr Pool I’m looking forward to Vancouver’s 3rd CaseCamp as it […]
