Blogs n Dogs - Landed!

Posted on Sun, 2005-12-04 00:55 by sarahfelicity

 I'm at the Blogs n Dogs Conference at the Banff Centre -- well, I'm AT the Banff Centre, and the conference starts on Monday. The geeking started several hours ago, though. I've been sitting here in our suite, surrounded by the esteemed faculty, and there have been multiple laptops open since just after dinner. Including mine.

Really, I've had latent geek tendencies for years, but I'm almost frightened at the potential of this conference to push me over the edge. I'll be learning from the best here, no doubt about it. I'll be SO Web 2.0 Buzzword Compliant within a day or two...  (it'll make Captain Ajax proud.)

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.
