My friend Nick is basically the best poi artist on the planet – in my humble estimation at least. (What is poi, you ask? Look no further.)

He's also a fledgling Drupal God, as evidenced by his recently launched site - http://www.playpoi.com.

I'm blogging about it because I'm super-proud of him. He seriously built this site from the ground up, spending hours learning Drupal, and figuring out for himself how to build the community site he envisioned.

If you've ever wanted to learn how to spin fire around (or LED lights, which, as evidenced by this photo, can be pretty darn beautiful), Nick is your man, whether via his new DVD, or (even better) in person.

And last but not least, don't forget to check out his photo galleries on Flickr. You can get there by clicking on that beautiful photo to the side. That'll inspire ya...

Did I hear Nick on the CBC a few weeks ago?

Wow, his photos are all so BEAUTIFUL! Indeed a great site too, it looks like a lot of time and energy went into it. Not bad for someone who's new to Drupal!

Thanks for the love, Sarah! :P

Yes, that was me on the CBC. Looks like I'm finally getting a little attention in my home town. Looks like there is more coming as well, but I'll keep that a secret until it's out.

Drupal was not as easy as I had initially hoped, that's for sure. When I'm back in Vancouver I think I'm going to move it all over to bryght.

...ok, back to rampaging across Ireland with a bunch of jugglers... :)

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
