This time, organizer Peter Childs has introduced a “Social Media” stream, for which I’ll be participating. My talk is currently titled Eyeball Currency: Monetizing your UX. Hopefully this will [...]

It’s back at BitHeads. It’s totally free thanks in part to these great sponsors: The Ottawa Angel Alliance (cheer!); bitheads [...]

BarCamp2 Montreal is gearing up for April 28th - shaping up to be a good show. One presentation in particular has me intrigued - Evan Promodou’s www.Kei.ki project. It’s a great name and domain. Those .ki extensions from the country of Kiribati aren’t cheap to get! There’s nothing to let on what Kei.ki is all [...]

Feeling a bit isolated working on your Dream2.0 out of your grandma’s basement? Even corporate teleworkers need to interact with other people sometimes. NYC’s Jelly provides that opportunity. Think of it as BarCamp without any presentations. A bunch of people signup to work on their own projects in a single place. Choose to work alone [...]

This latest variant to “tech unconferences” was created by Shannon Clark. The events kicks off at lunch. Then the group breaks into three smaller clans and [...]

We just got a note from Peter Childs that CaseCamp for this coming Monday was postponed. Too bad - the first one was great, but this time there wasn’t a rush of presenters signing up. The good news though, is that BarCamp Ottawa 3 is scheduled for March 31. This time [...]

BarCampOttawa2 is tomorrow, and I’ll be talking about three of my favourite Nortel projects - products that were failures despite awesome technology.
Today, I want to introduce you to Venture (code named System 9000). I may look like an ordinary phone - but there’s magic in it’s capabilities. Robert Turnbull and I [...]
