The collection is valued at 50 million, he’s asking for 3 million. No serious buyers have been found.

It’ll take place on October 24th at the Vancouver Rowing Club and only cost $25. This will be one of those events that will make you proud to live in the cultural mix of Vancouver.  

Speaker List as it stands:

Facebook invite:

Buy Tickets:

Explanation from main event organizer:

Hope to see you there. More details to follow.

I’m adopting all things Twitter. Now that I have some regular contributors to follow I’m starting to see the value of Twitter.
I’ve added Twitter Berry for the BB and Twitter Feeds which automatically feeds my blog posts to my Twitter.
Now you can follow this blog, DailyJim (my photoblog), Corporate Hipster and I Am User Generated (my academic blog) on my Twitter. Activate the mobile notification option on Twitter and you’ll get these updates as text messages.
Is this cross-platforming getting creepy?

It also means that I’ve got a killer computer tan.

Forget Pemberton, ya’ll should have been at the Commodore to see the cut and paste king (sorry Diplo) mash-up a record number of tracks keeping the ADD cocaine fueled crowd bouncing the whole time.
Check out new album here.
Some video I shot of the madness. My fresh white steps are wrecked now from being trampled on stage. I regret nothing.

Don’t know this girl, but I respect the fact that she rocks a Holga. I’m a little ashamed that I shot this with my tiny digital.

Time to dust off the old steps and support the original Chuck Taylor movement.

It really flows well with the mind bending nature of the song. Well played yet again.
