We’re taking this holiday week off from shooting, but will be back with a shiny new episode July 14th. Enjoy!

iPhone Eve in Canada - Technolust and such -OK, even I am getting sick of talking about the iPhone, but, alas, it is the biggest tech news of the past few weeks. Last night I did a quick chat on CP24/CTV in Toronto and this morning I had some more time to dive into the issue of technolust on CBC-Radio - The Current (listen here, love Dan’s Love Letter to the more »

meshU and mesh08 are GO! -One of the things I'm most happy to be involved with is mesh, Canada's web conference. Five of us, myself included, began this event three years ago, and now we run for three days with nearly 400 people in attendance.
The news this year is the addition of meshU, a hands-on day with workshops and small groups focused on more technical stuff. And then the main mesh conference starting tomorrow more »

As Luck Would Have It -As luck would have it, Claude Windenberger of the Unconditional Freedom Process recorded the audio of Part II from the webinar I did with Jim Morris of NicheBot. It’s now synched with the video I recorded, and the replay is available here.

Midnight Run -Many years ago, the alcoholic judge and I went to see “Midnight Run” in the movies and when we went out to dinner after, he kept telling me how much the Charles Grodin character reminded him of me - and how much he resembled the Robert DeNiro character. (Personally, I didn’t see the resemblance. Still [...] more »

Unmasking Rental Scammers: One Prick at a Time -So, while looking for an apartment in the West End, I tried my hand answering a couple of Craigslist ads. I’ve emailed about eight so far. Here are the results:
1 - They already rented the place out and were just too lazy to take the ad down.
3 - Haven’t replied, after a week’s time.

Moving to the West End -For a while now, I’ve been considering moving to the west end of Vancouver. While I live the services and 30-storey view of where I live now, living right in the business district is noisy, not particularly close to real produce stores, and unnecessarily expensive.
Worst of all, there’s no sense of community when you [...] more »

When one blog just isn’t enough… -Okay, okay, so things’ve been pretty quiet around here. Sorry ’bout that. But if as a result you are looking to fill a blog-shaped hole in your life, then why not wander by a new blog I started recently?
A think-tank asked me to blog about the media’s role in the developing world. You can find [...] more »
On the life cycle of tadpoles -Standing ankle-deep in water at the local swimming hole, I was unprepared for a moment of self-reflection.
But, tonight, there it was. I was looking down into the shallow waters, searching for the scores of tadpoles that usually scatter whenever I set foot in the lake.
Alas, there were none to be found
At least initially. Because I [...] more »

Search and web apps and conversion funnels -The truth about Google Analytics is that it’s not half as helpful as people make it out to be if you are running a subscription based web app. Why? You can’t correlate things like search terms with conversions to paying subscribers. I know you can with trials using their little code snippets, [...] more »
Hey Entrepreneur, Reach Out for Help -I’ve talked about it before, but recognizing when you need guidance is vital – in my opinion this is especially true for entrepreneurs who frequently bear the responsibility of making decisions that affect the rest of the team.

'Blog: Thursday, July 3, 2008 8:10 pm -Day before yesterday Juliet and I went to the court and got our marriage license. We have 60 days to get married somewhere in Florida though our planned date is around the last week of July. Immediately after getting the license, we celebrated by going to Florida Blood Services to donate blood.

'Blog: Friday, July 11, 2008 7:30 am -Drama is wonderful on the stage and screen. It is destructive in personal life. On stage, drama is an emotional, expressive story played out by characters stuck in unfortunate situations. In real life, it is a back-stabbing, nagging, he-said-she-said tale that holds back everyone involved from enjoying their lives. I used to crave drama in my personal life. Not a day went by when I didn't suspect a "friend" talking behind my back about me. I would be passive-aggressive for months and finally con more »

Kerri Dawe Design -Over the years I’ve dealt with hundreds of creative people… photographers, artists, designers, writers & musicians. Their talent levels were like their personalities…. all over the map, covering the full range of possibilities, some easy to deal with and some were a royal pain in the ass.

Interesting….. -By Les Muise 6/10/2008
Interesting…. is the only phrase that I can use in a printed format to describe my response to the proposed $40,000,000.00 Community Recreation Center in the works for the Mainland Commons.
Sounds nice. BUT:
There is still no detail as to what is included in that proposed facility,
There is still no time line on [...] more »
