BarCamp Vancouver 2008
by Janis Behan – Geek in Training This past weekend, I attended my first ever BarCamp. It was held on beautiful Granville Island, with the venues scattered about the island. It was a gorgeous, sunny day. It’s too bad we were inside for most of it, geekin’ it up… jk. I wasn’t quite sure what…

The game is almost, nearly on…
I’ve been to a number of “tech” events lately with my brother Jordan, including CaseCamp, a dinner for the opening of the Northern Voice blogging conference, and most recently, the Strutta alpha launch party.

Good Start
Well, it has been a great start to the week. First of all, I ran 20 miles with my brother Jordan yesterday, and I did not die. I’m feeling more positive everyday about this marathon “stuff” (Translation: BAD-ASS hardcore training!). Second of all, the Canucks won Game 3 last night in Dallas, 2-1 in Overtime,…

Casecamp Vancouver
On Tuesday, Jordan convinced me to go to my first “Casecamp“. There were about 4 presentations 15 min. each with questions afterwards. Most of the technical mumbo jumbo went right over my head, but there were a few moments when I was like “cool!”. And after spending the last few months running with Jord, and…
