During National Digital Media Day I started collecting food donations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. I still have the items sitting at home (about two bags worth) and I thought to myself that it would be really great to have more than this when I drop off the donations. I knew I had to […]

Local mobile technology company, Handi Mobility, just launched Translink‘s new “Next Bus” service for the iPhone. “Every second person coming to TransLink’s mobile site uses the iPhone, so we had to create an amazing experience for these early adopters.
