Happy Weekend!

I'm hanging out at Northern Voice today, out at UBC. Darren, one of the organizers of this fine event, kindly arranged for a small handful of non-profit groups to have booths at the event, and so I get to be here and spread the Web of Change love.

It's been gratifying, over the time that I've been involved with WOC (five years? good grief) to watch the awareness of our name grow. Certainly not everyone here has heard of us, but plenty of people have.

And it's a timely moment in time for me to be spreading the good word... because we have some big news about our 2008 programming. Have a peek at the site if you're curious...

It's been a fun day so far, with a whole of conversations that go a little something like this:

"You're here! How come?"

"Hi! Yeah, I moved back."

"Oh wow! Welcome back! When? Why?" etc etc etc.

So that's fun. Surprise! I moved back. Most people seem glad to see me, which makes my little ego feel good.

(The irony, I suppose, is that this is a blogging conference... and anyone who actually read my blog would know that I moved back... But then again, I totally don't expect that people actually read this thing, and in fact I'm always slightly shocked/embarrassed whenever I run into someone who tells me that they do!)

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.
