Along with Freyburg, we’ll be attending the Apple store opening on Saturday, May 24 in Pacific Centre. We’re not that excited but we’ve decided it would be fun to go and maybe do a podcast while waiting in line. We’re hoping we can get some press access so we’re allowed to film inside the mall and store but we’re not holding our breaths as this whole adventure is a last minute decision. Check back after the opening to see what we come up with!
UPDATE: Due to the popularity of the Techcouver concept, our flash map became overcrowded and it was time to move over to a Google Maps-based solution. We can’t take credit for that one (although working with the Google Maps API has come up in a recent project) but Techvibes and the other sponsors of the site were nice enough to keep an archive of our version up — the link to the map has been updated to reflect the archived version.
Version 2.0 of Techcouver.com is now live on the web! It’s been a hectic week but so fun to see the fruits of our labour finally up and running.
Having been to a couple CaseCamps and the tail end of DemoCamp, I had to check out BarCamp Vancouver 2007, which opposed to the former two events is a much bigger all-day “unconference”.
For the uninitiated, a BarCamp-type event can be described as a conference that is run by the attendees. While there’s still a core group of organizers, anyone attending can make a presentation, and the schedule is decided on the day of the conference.
Roland from Bryght took a bunch of photos with his cameraphone at the Microsoft Expression kick-off at Canvas in Gastown last Thursday… there I am in the middle; you can see Warren Frey (Freyburg.com) in the front of the frame and Dave Shea (Mezzoblue) just behind him.
It was an odd but interesting event; can’t say there was much I didn’t know about Expression as I looked at the beta version last year and used it on a couple ASP.net based projects.
