The Low Down – May 2008

OK, I figured I’d do a quick post occasionally about what I’m up to, so here goes:

1. I am now co-organizer of Third Tuesday Vancouver (Yeah! I get to work with Netchick, not a bad life I have). The next Third Tuesday (May 20th) has the illustrious Darren Barefoot speaking about “Getting the Attention of the Web’s Influencers”. I just saw Darren and the lovely Julie Szabo talk at the High Tech Community Exchange, so I’m psyched. We’re at a tasty venue (The Century House) & we’re getting pretty booked, so sign up now if you’re planning to attend.
2. I’m looking forward to speaking about “The Power of Images: Using Media and Technology” on (update: Conference Postponed – new date =) October 5, 2008 at the Citizens for Public Power’s “More Power to You: A Conference for Community & Environmental Activists Organizing to Protect Public Power in British Columbia”.
3. Carol Sill interviews me about (you guessed it) Crowdsourcing on AlphaBlogs. Thanks Carol!
4. I have started on some Squidoo lens: “Social Media: Unite, Promote and Have Fun” and a Humor one: “Things that Make Me Go Hmmmmm” (since I swear and talk about strange un-kid-friendly topics, it is rated “R”, so don’t be alarmed by the “Adult Content” warning – that disclaimer tends to accompany me wherever I go .
