Image by Kjirstin via Flickr Yes, I’m teaching at WordCamp Victoria again, May 15th. I love Victoria, and it’s an easy day trip from Vancouver; moreso for us carless ones now that the Canada Line connects with the bus out to the ferry terminal. I’m really looking forward to this and to spending another day […]

And listicles. Listicles are HUUUUUUUUUGE. Seriously, could this be any more brilliant? Particularly the “I just retweet Mashable” comment? That happens to remind me of one of my pet peeves: people who just rt stuff they themselves never bother to read, just so they look smart. Let’s face it: nobody goes to Twitter to find […]
