New! Improved! Escher Stats!

Imagine that you had a house (this may not be imaginary, if you live outside of Vancouver). You’re renting, and Matt the landlord is generally pretty awesome. Sometimes he comes in and says he’s going to work on some stuff, but he is always clean and fast and tidies up after himself and these things… [Read more…]

EatDrinkTweet

Yes, I’m a conference junkie, but at least I’m addicted to speaking at them rather than paying to attend. And once again, Allison Markin the Social Media Queen of the Okanagan has invited me to speak at Eat.Drink.Tweet, a social media conference dedicated to food, wine, tourism, and of course, social media. As you might… [Read more…]

This one came to me via Twitter. It’s a local Vancouver company, and I can’t tell you anything about it other than I got this from Ajay and KC and they don’t put their names behind just any old company or any old job opening. Apply via LinkedIn and may the best guru win (I… [Read more…]

Spa

Yes, it appears to be a paid gig at Spa Week. How can you tell? Well, I wouldn’t post it if it weren’t, what with unpaid internships being the way the middle-class keeps its grip on certain industries, and us being so not about that. This job is in-person, in New York, and yes, it’s… [Read more…]

Alanna Fero

I don’t pimp out too many workshops here, other than my own (and my new one with Mike Vardy, coming soon in February!). Exceptions are worth making, however, for a few of my friends who are also my own guides: Linda Naiman being one, and Alanna Fero being another. When I took a job after… [Read more…]

CoverItLive in a WordPress.com Blog

Sandra Oldfield says Cheers to that!

I’m of two minds about CoverItLive: on the one hand, there’s nothing better at pulling in multiple realtime feeds and combining them into actual content and a coherent conversation all at once. It can even pull in emails and display media like videos and photos in the CiL box. Slick! On the other, it’s an… [Read more…]

Get a job 600

Got this one off Tumblr (obviously). It’s not just reporting, but photoshopping too, so if you have a digital quiver full of skillz, bring them all and may the best meme-sniffer win. PSA of the Day: Hey! You! The one in the back with the exceptional communication and organizational skills. Yes, you. Wanna write for The Daily… [Read more…]
