My friend and Social Media Camp co-founder Chris Burdge put out a challenge. I realized there was a lot of stuff I have been up to that I’d love to share with the world, so what the heck – I’d share some of mine. Challenge Accepted. Problem is, I have too much to say. So […]
The UVic Lipdub is Online!
A huge congrats to all the folks who worked so hard on the UVic Lipdub. The video is up, and it is awesome! 20,000 views and counting!
UVic Libdub II
Remember the UVic Lipdub video that went viral on YouTube last year?

So, […]
My Life As A Modern Rock Radio DJ, Part Deux

While there was some innovation in R&B and hip-hop (and the angst of grunge saved us from the agony […]
Twestival Victoria – September 11, 2009
Are you still on the fence? What the heck is a Twestival? Is it going to be a bunch of computer geeks sitting around staring at their iPhones? No, actually – it’s going to be an exciting evening filled with entertainment, good people, and great food. I’m particularly keen to see Mike Vardy perform live […]
Swan Lake
One of the most beautiful places in the world is Swan Lake. It is an amazing urban ecological reserve right in the heart of Saanich, the most populous municipality in Greater Victoria. I had the privilege of spending my early years living just down the street from this place, from about age 3 to 8, […]
The Ultimate Social Media Mashup
Sent by a good friend … incredible music from the most eclectic international orchestra I’ve ever seen. Update: Turns out it was created by an organization called Playing For Change. They did another great video of Bob Marley’s “One Love”.
