I put the call out on Twitter a while back for some interesting stories or people involved with entertainment and red carpets in Vancouver. Lorraine, that I profiled yesterday, suggested I speak with Raj from Urban Mixer - a social community empire for young professionals in Western Canada.
Raj Taneja worked his way up from being [...]

Last week Manga Mania was taking Twitter by storm. A website that allows you to customize an avatar with your personal traits was quickly commandeering everyone’s profile photo and I’d say about 70% of my contacts currently have the out-of-the-box cartoon images of themselves applied.

One of the first things I do when I find me seat on an airplane is open up the seat pocket in front of me and check out the the safety cards. Since I’ve flown so much over the last 15 years it’s not so much to brush up on my safety procedures as it [...]

It’s official, there will be a Blogathon in Vancouver this year (and by official, I mean that I created a wiki page with useful information and a sign up sheet).

I’m a fan of “add-ons” like the del.icio.us [...]

I started doing screencasts in a professional capacity last year and since then the tools have become much easier to use and I’m finding folks are really receptive to the “quick tips” I’ve been offering. As a refresher, I wrote a post last summer about Screencasting Tools and I’ve done a few WordPress tutorials using [...]

A few years ago I was encouraged to use FeedBurner for all my website RSS feed needs. The benefits being when I switched from Blogger to WordPress in 2006, my feed was then “portable” and I simply inputted the new source feed generated by WP, not having to lose a single subscriber or switch anyone [...]

I honestly can’t remember the last time I went more than two days without being “connected”.
