Tickets now on sale for Mesh08 and MeshU–May 21-22 in Toronto

I just caught a tweet from Mark Evans that tickets for Mesh08 and MeshU were now on sale.  Seeing a newsworthy item when I read it, well …
Despite a distinct lack of spring weather in Toronto at the moment, there’s definitely something in the air — and it’s the warmth of an approaching mesh […]

Three SXSW reports from ThatCanadianGirl including Kathy Sierra’s talk

I’m still catching up on my SXSW reports and feeds even though SXSWi has been over for a week now!  I found three posts from TheCanadianGirl with her notes from some of the sessions:

DemoCampVictoria01 April 3rd–let’s show off the rocking stuff Victoria has to offer

SXSW pictures–just a quick note about tags

To that end, as part of my process for getting the pictures online I didn’t do much individual tagging of pics.  A lot of you have started to put your own tags in … which was exactly my […]

SXSWi: The conversation has been in the BlogHaus

What a week.  Okay it hasn’t been a week per se, but man it sure feels like it.  In the halls, over meals, at the end of the day–my friends ask me “what sessions did you see…” My answer has been “I went to one all week, Darren’s.”.  Why?  It’s pretty simple really.  You might […]
