I honestly can’t remember the last time I went more than two days without being “connected”. Even when I’ve talked about unplugging from the Matrix we still manage to find wifi at a hotel, in the condo’s common room, or at a highway rest stop. With nothing but giant Cedars, cascading raindrops and paper thin [...]

Welcome to Wednesday, the day before the day before Friday…. yes! Here’s what’s making headlines around Vancouver and the blogosphere:

I haven’t touched on my Vancouver Girl iPhone series in a while but I figure with its presence in the movie last night, and the Apple Store opening last weekend, it was time for a revival. What makes this latest edition special? It’s a hybrid iPhone series AND Link Fest.
- First off, a quick note [...]

With seven events in three days I think my head did almost fall off last night. I came home and enjoyed a quite night in with John as I knew I would once again be out and about today. There are quite a few bits and pieces of news stories and fun facts that I [...]

I got a text message from Brad yesterday saying he had been woken up at 5:00am in his campground at Manning Park due to an evacuation notice. Apparently the warm temperatures have cause a quick-thaw and the rivers are buckling over their shores and causing flooding. If you have a look at the video John [...]

My husband and I have a special relationship, one in which he tags things for me in del.icio.us during the day, I check them out later and find great blogging material for a link fest *swoon*.
- 13 of the best WordPress plugins - I’m currently using several on the list and I have to say, [...]

With fun and exciting things happening all around me it’s a wonder how I can get so down sometimes. There are people who struggle a lot more than I do in this life but everyone has their good days, their bad, and sometimes you just need to share some love and hope some of that [...]

Welcome to a special “late” edition of my link fest, brought to you by a smooth glass of VQA following my guest speaking opportunity at SFU.
Thanks to the talented indie media master Lisa Mansfield of The Tyee, I spoke for her students about blogging, corporate communications and new media writing in the business world. [...]

Yes, this is still totally a Link Fest I just felt like having some fun, in the sun, on a Friday afternoon because what could be better? Oh yes, it’s not quite the weekend but it’s so close I can taste the margaritas.
I was invited to Vancouver’s first ever Twitter meetup which took place [...]

The WTS and a link fest? Combining two of my patented blog features? Yes, daring I know.

White Rock (South Surrey Junior) will build their $500,000 Spirit Square right along the main strip, between the museum and the [...]

I have so many mini topics to cover that if I were to write a blog post for each people would get annoyed about how I’m too prolific and my feed would swamp their readers and it would just be a mess. On that note, if you’d like to simply get my feed (without Flickr [...]

A dozen blog posts in a week including a handful of my link fests is not too shabby considering I could simply blog about the crazy weather in Vancouver - cause people always like to talk about the weather.
