Much as I tease the Drupalites for their blind adoration of a platform with the world’s worst user interface, I do acknowledge that Drupal is a powerful tool, and have always been curious about it. This looks like an amazing opportunity to learn how to get a Drupal site up and running in one day. […]
Sometimes I feel like I’m in some unnamed industry other than social media training, because ALL my best professional opportunities seem to happen in pubs. Last night, for instance, I was hanging out at the Alibi Room and got invited to come talk to Vancouver Startup Weekend about social media for startups. By the time […]

Image via Wikipedia I can’t resist a tea party. Unfortunately, I’ll HAVE to miss this one, as I’m going to be out of town. Still, the least I can do is post it (even though it goes against my “I’m not event blogging anymore” self-imposed rule; still nobody asked me to do it, so at […]
Busy Tuesday night? Oh come on, who are you kidding? IT’S A TUESDAY NIGHT!

It’s a very special place in Chinatown: Position: Website / Usability Consultant Organization: Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden Mission Statement: We are a classical Chinese garden, providing unique cultural experiences for visitors […]
Can Twitter change the world? Can YouTube save a soul? Is there, ultimately, any real point to what we do online, or is it just (as the critics claim) a safe little sandbox where we play at building castles that are stomped flat and then forgotten? A new Canadian documentary aims to answer that question […]
This is the new signage for SMCYVR, which made its debut yesterday at our Trout Lake Digital Scavenger Hunt with Nokia. Thanks to Roland Tanglao for the snazzy snapshot, and to Raj Taneja, VP of Events and not-incidentally Sugardaddy of Signage.
Which is a nice, I-went-to-University-you-know way to say that this Thursday the Social Media Club of Vancouver and Nokia Canada are collaborating to produce an outdoor digital scavenger hunt in gorgeous and transit-handy Trout Lake Park. The deets: 6-9pm Thursday, August 5th Meet at Trout Lake Beach and prepare to perambulate. This is a participatory […]
I’ve been living and working on the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver’s inner city, for more than a decade now, and when you live here that long it’s impossible not to want to give back to the community in a meaningful way. Since I’m not really in a position to give jobs, food, or shelter (except to […]
Big changes. BIG changes. First of all, this week we’ll be opening up a whole new lineup of courses for registration: courses are given both online and in person, so if you’re not in Vancouver or would prefer a once-a-week Skype conversation to a solid several hours of workshopping, we can hook you up. The […]
