I just got married. In Newfoundland, with 34 people in total on hand for 4 days, family and best friends, in an Inn in a remote outport. There was a ton of love, fun, and a lot of drinking. I can’t get into it because I could never do it justice in a blog post. It was the most amazing experience, and not just because PJ and I wed and could not be happier – I think I speak for everyone who was there: it was magical. I am happy. Very. I am jet-lagged and exhausted with bliss, and trying my damndest to get back into the swing of it all and all things I love about the Internet, which I did miss incidentally, but not enough to stop drinking fine wines and packing on the post wedding 10 L-B’s with the best food on the planet. Merci Beaune. Merci Paris. Here are some of brother-in-law Weston’s pics… I have not ventured to get mine going just yet, but I will eventually…

Back to reality:
Tomorrow I am heading into the CBC here in Vancouver to talk about the thing I love most about my job: social networks taking over the Internet. I am thrilled that the CBC’s Craig Lederhouse has put this together (using google sites, nice.) and opening up the channels to flow more knowledge at the fine folks who bring me my happy place each day, all day, my obsession and favourite Canadian Institution, the CBC. Kris Krug writes on this CBC milestone a lot more eloquently than I currently am managing to muster, and he will of course be a major player in the day. In addition to Krug, they are also fortunate to have a few other savvy social networkers in the room: John Dickerson, Roz Allen, Alfred Hermida, Susan Ormiston, and John Paolozzi. There are a lot of these “types” here in Vancouver, so let this be the first of many at the CBC and get more of Techcouver involved down the road.

Follow along, contribute through the day if you feel so inclined, and I’ll do the same along the way, most certainly, you’ll catch anything here.
