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 [...]
BookCamp Halifax 2010
Can you start a conversation about books, writing, reading, or related topics? BookCamp is coming to Halifax and we’re looking for people to lead unconference style sessions. Think of it like PodCamp only catering to bookworms. It’s not just for insiders though. We’re looking for bloggers, writers, readers, etc. Drop me a line by e-mail [...]
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 [...]
Boneheads vs. Q Smokehouse and Southern Barbecue
For years Cokebaby and his male friends have been lamenting the lack of a place to get southern BBQ. Recently, within months of each other, two new restaurants that fit the bill opened up in the city. For the most part, I don’t post negative reviews here. If I don’t like a restaurant, you simply won’t [...]

I usually save my social media tips for other sites where I occasionally guest post but the smack-down that happened on Twitter throughout the course of the past day was simply so baffling to me, as someone with a degree [...]
Atlantic Canada’s COOLest kids on Twitter
[With PodCamp Halifax 2010 taking place this past weekend, I had the opportunity to schmooze with some pretty cool web geeks. My next guest is a young up-and-comer in the sphere of online marketing & social media and he's here to talk about one of my favourite sites. If you're not on Twitter yet, jump [...]
PodCamp Halifax 2010
This weekend, I attended the second annual PodCamp in Halifax. Last year, I had missed the event because I was sipping on pastis at some café in the south of France. I know, it’s a rough life. For anyone who’s wondering, PodCamp is an “unconference” where social media and web enthusiasts from all across the province [...]
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 [...]
