Next week’s busy schedule (Meetup details!)

So I have a really busy schedule outside of the office next week - and I want you to be a part of it! If you’re in the Kingston or toronto areas, and want to get together, I’d love to meet up!  I’m looking for other social media folk, bloggers, podcasters or TalkShoe users. Hope [...]

So I have a really busy schedule outside of the office next week - and I want you to be a part of it! If you’re in the Kingston or toronto areas, and want to get together, I’d love to meet up!  I’m looking for other social media folk, bloggers, podcasters or TalkShoe users. Hope to see you!

Monday, September 24th: Kingston’s first new media meetup is taking place at 7:00pm at the Kingston Brewing company at 34 Clarence st. We get started around 7, look for the bright tie-dye frog shirt. I’ll be noticeable. I promise. We’ve got a few confirmed to this already, so it’s shaping up to be a pretty good event. No runtime planed, but expect a couple of hours.

Tuesday, September 25th: I’ll be waiting in the Atrium on Bay’s food court around 4:30 to gather folk and find food. We can stick around the food court (lots of selection, easy to add people to the group) or will be wandering off to the decided food source around 4:50. If you work in the 9-to-5 world and still want to meet, get in touch and I’ll make sue you’re updated on where we end up. No planned runtime on this, but I’d like to wrap it around 7:30 if it runs that long.

Wednesday, September 26th: I’ll be attending Adobe’s On AIR stop in Toronto ALL day. No time to meet people on this leg, but if you’re going to be at the event, look for me and say hi!

Going to Toronto

So it looks like I’ll be heading to Toronto later this month. Being that I don’t get into the city too much, I thought this would be a great chance to pull together a meetup of sorts.

I’ll be showing up around 4:30pm on Tuesday, September 25th. I’ve got some time that evening and will be busing in. Meetups in the area around the Eaton Centre or up near Yonge & Eglington are preferred… But i’m open to discussion. Perhaps somewhere for dinner around 5:00?

I’m spending all day on Wednesday, September 26th at the on Air tour from Adobe. And am heading home almost immediately following.

Let me know via the comments if you want to get together.

Makin’ Bacn!

So this weekend I had the great fortune of traveling to Pittsburgh for Podcamp Pittsburgh 2. What a blast. Double points, and timbits, to Locobone for the ride from Niagra Falls. Thanks again.

PodcampPGH2 didn’t disappoint. In addition to meeting a bunch of new people, I got to learn things, talk tech/web (Something that doesn’t happen often enough in K-town), be pointed to what sounds to be a really cool day from Adobe, and hang out with existing friends.

I also got to present a new presentation from TalkShoe, ‘Your First Shoes’. I’ll have the slides on the web soon. It went over pretty well to an ever-growing group finalizing around 30 people.

And I helped coin ‘bacn’. Oops.

So bacn, if you don’t already know, is the mail you want… But not right now. It’s the middle class of email. Emails from your mom are not bacn - that’s a good, legitimate email. Emails alerting you that you won a foreign lottery is not bacn - that’s spam. What about the Facebook notifications? Or Twitter notifications? Or the Amazon recommendations? Or the countless newsletters? Those emails, while informational, aren’t something you generally have time for. That middle class, the emails you want, just not right now, are bacn.

Now, bacn does have a web site. And it has a forum. And a PSA. But most of the publicity has come from the many many many many many posts around the internet. Wow.

Was a good weekend. Who wants to send me to Boston?
