DemoCampGuelph 12

Filed under: events — Dave @ 3:34 pm

Trudy, Danielle and I were at DemoCampGuelph 12 Wednesday night.

Harry had something about blackberries. I didn’t take notes this time, but there were a few other presentations: Compost, Little Robotsthat talk over jabber, Snapsort.com which compares cameras and JaxCore. Also a shout-out to our newest coopetition, Denise and Ian of StormwareStudios, Lloyd from the Guelph Chamber of Commerce and especially Karen Farbridge

Thanks Communitech, Innosphere, Sun’s SSE Program, and BrainPark!

Guelph Technology Economy Forum

Filed under: events,local — Dave @ 7:46 pm

Trudy and I participated in the Guelph Technology Economy Forum yesterday. Good to see all the dynamic technology innovations going on on our home turf.

I tempted fate by assuring Doug from Recovery Force, that my backups were so good that I’d never need his services. Shoutouts also go out to
Brian from ResourceMate, Jeff from Beyond Rewards, Ben from Blount International, Steve from Ampersand Printing, Perry from netsweeper, Don from Armtec Infrastructure Income Fund, John from A.R Milne Electric, Shelley from sales fertilizer, Rudy from RKD, and Kristina from The Laudi Group.

And a special thanks to Llyod and Wendy from The Guelph Chamber of Commerce

Upcoming Events

Filed under: events — Dave @ 3:39 pm

One or two of us might make it to the Waterloo Region Web Design & Technology Group January Meetup tonight, but I’m doubtful it’ll be me. Monday I’ll try to make it to User Experience Group of Waterloo Region at the Accelerator Centre.

Trudy and I will be at Guelph Technology Economy all day Tuesday.

All of us will be heading over to eBar on the 27th for DemoCampGuelph. (And in keeping with my tradition of never missing a democamp, I’ll also be in Toronto at the same time for DemoCamp Toronto somehow.)

New hire: Owen

Filed under: twitter,updates — Dave @ 8:22 pm

Owen is our newest co-op for this term. We’re excited to have him not only because he’s one of the top-ranked computer science students at University of Guelph but because our team could always use more aggressive swimmers that I can talk shop with.

He comes to us highly recommended after building a time management system with Google App Engine and is going to be helping us with new media. It’s my hope that as the youngest person in the office, Owen will bring a fresh and exciting new perspective to emerging technologies like Twitter and this MTV I keep hearing the kids talking about.

Update: Owen is already tweeting.
