As Matthew points out in his post, the photo is an ad for a development in Surrey.
I’ve noticed this a lot around town lately. The seemingly totally [...]

I’m going to call this a day blog as I won’t be live blogging per se, moreso collecting thoughts, sharing links, and posting information throughout the day.

Right now on the Convergence 2008 main stage Grant McCracken is talking about Digital Cultures:
McCracken looks at the places where culture and commerce, anthropology and economics meet most [...]

Blogging on behalf of my company I’ve blogged my thoughts on today’s Open Web Conference featuring keynotes by Zak Greant and Tim Bray.
Over on Payments on Rails my recaps are rather industry/company specific so as a blogger on Miss604.com I would like to elaborate and touch on a few other points, particularly those presented [...]

No, Michael will not be liveblogging his own session but Raul has been gracious enough to share his liveblogging efforts with Miss604.com since I am unable to attend the event this evening. Check back now and then for updates to this post. Thanks Raul!
Rebecca and I have agreed that I’ll send her the code after [...]

As stated when I first started making my site open for advertisements, I will always disclose when a blog post is a part of a paid advertisement. As I choose my advertisers probably as carefully as they choose me, I make sure to remain above board for my readers.

The latest ad space has been scooped [...]

If tonight’s Third Tuesday, tomorrow’s CaseCamp or this weekend’s Northern Voice are not your cup of tea, perhaps you’re a young woman in business (or looking to get into the professional world) who just might be interested in another type of conference in Vancouver.

Beyond Pink is the first conference of its kind in Western Canada, [...]

I just caught this on TV. I know I’ve had a few glasses of wine (blame the Canucks shootout loss), but it seriously took me a couple looks to “get it”.

As stated when I first started making my site open for advertisements, I will always disclose when a blog post is a part of a paid advertisement. As I choose my advertisers probably as carefully as they choose me, I make sure to proudly support local business.

Someone was just mentioned something about Pets.com, which instantly made me picture their sock dog mascot (which incidentally lead Pets.com to sue Conan O’Brien’s show over “Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog“). Thinking back to the days of the dotcom BOOM I remember where I was when it all went down… during the BUST.
