Checking out for two weeks
It’s been kind of a lazy summer for me on the blog. Mostly because the rest of my life has been so busy. But I do promise to pick things back up…after vacation! That’s right, I’m going to Amsterdam and Bruges for two weeks. I’ve got at least one guest post lined up for while [...]
Halifax Chicks on CBC Information Morning
In case you missed last week’s show, Shelagh Duffet (@AliceinParis) and Gail Lethbridge (@giftedtypist) were interviewed by CBC Information Morning’s Lisa Roberts. Listen to what they have to say about Halifax Chicks and the technology that brings them together. Tech-savvy women put the social in social media
BookCamp Toronto #bcto10
BookCamp Toronto. The reason why BookCamp Halifax came to be. Yes, I’m writing yet another entry about this unconference. My blog, my rules. I promise I’ll keep it short though. The great thing about the unconference model is that you get to hear from a wide range of people interested in a certain topic, not [...]
Teri Metler: East Coast by choice
[Oops. It was so busy last week that I neglected to put up a guest post! This next guest was one of the people who called in to the live chat on CBC Maritime Noon back in January. Here's her experience of living on the East Coast.] By Teri Metler I am from Taiwan and [...]
Jane Austen, dachshunds & the meaning of life
Or something like that. If you travel over to the CBC Book Club today you’ll notice a pretty fabulous contest that’s inspired by the mash-up trend mixing public domain books with the likes of zombies, vampires, androids, etc. Here’s an example that I created for the Book Club with a hat tip to Costas Halavrezos, Ben [...]
Sociable in Toronto
I’ve been living out of a hotel in Toronto for the better part of a week now on a business trip. Among the things I miss are home-cooked meals, my own bed, sleep, Cokebaby and Tofu dog. That said, this trip has allowed me to work with my colleagues face-to-face (which is under-valued). Seriously, go [...]
East Coast By Choice on CBC Maritime Noon
At 12:15 p.m. Atlantic, tune to CBC Maritime Noon‘s call-in show where I’ll be joining in on a conversation about, you guessed it, East Coast By Choice (Note: you can listen to the live audio streaming online at CBC Radio). Have a story to share about living here? UPDATE: You can listen the full show [...]
Building online communities through social media
For anyone who’s wondered what it is exactly that I do for a living, here’s a guest post over at Lindsay Olson’s public relations staffing blog. I’ve been lucky enough to take my education in public relations and combine it with my geeky inclinations and love of books to work at a job that I [...]
Pride of (work)place
It’s no secret that I love my job. The CBC is home to some pretty wonderful Canadian content. Here’s a video showing what we Canadians get for just $34 a year. My fave program—besides, of course, my beloved CBC Books pages—is Radio 3 for great new music and fun podcasts. What are some of your [...]
Canada Reads 2010
Today is like Christmas come early for bookworms. First, this morning Advent Books released their first recommendations (look for mine coming soon) and now we’ve got the launch of Canada Reads 2010 (one of the great sites that I work on for the CBC). It’s hard to believe that just a few short months ago [...]
