Here is your chance to see Raincity Studios' DaveO in action.  It's all happening at Net Tuesday 4 - Podcasting for Social change, Tuesday July 8th at 5:30pm.

DaveO will be heading up and moderating a presentation on the art of podcasting: how to make a show; the benefits of micro-broadcasting; promoting your show; and how podcasting can spread your social change message.

The all-star panel features mobile guru, Roland Tanglao (also from Raincity Studios), John Bollwitt (audio engineer, and podcaster from RadioZoom and Crazy Canucks) and Rob Cottingham (social change technologist, humourist and Bedtime podcaster).

DaveO made a quickie video to get everyone excited about the presentation - check it out:

Net Tuesday4 is organized by Joe Solomon and hosted at Workspace with sponsor love from Communicopia and Social Signal.

In case you missed it, Raincity Radio's hiatus is over and the podcasts are again rolling out the audio factory, down the tubes and into your ears.

There are three fresh podcast episodes out since I hopped in the bus driver's seat - but really, what I'm brewing up is not too shockingly unlike the past when the noted Mr. Scales or the effervescent Megan Cole would chat about some "technology meets culture" topic with some interesting pundit, entrepreneur, or developer.

Work Industries has been around this Vancouver block for over a year now... who are they? What are they? Likely, if you're in the tech world in this town, you know full well who James Sherrett is. But have a listen to this podcast as we get to know a little more about the man who can make you a web marketing genius... along with some other fun stuff.

I Found The Perfect Place To Talk Hockey, Beer & e-Commerce

Last week I spent a bit of my Friday afternoon with Dave Olson and Jason Billingsley at Elastic Path, an e-commerce software company based here in Vancouver.

Raincity is currently building Elastic Path's new Drupal site, set to launch in a few weeks, so I thought it'd be a good idea to check out their digs, say hello to the team and have a little software chat in their schwanky-ish entertainment room.... and of course we spoke a little hockey-talk a tad as well, and why the hell not? 'Tis the season.

Captain Ajax Workin' and Livin' on a Mountain

This week I headed over to the North Shore, where you rarely get out of second gear on a clear straight-away - something that normally drives us heavy-footed drivers crazy, and very much did so on this particular morning. I was late finding my destination, after having been misdirected by dudes at a car garage, a taxi cab driver and a postman. All people I figured were reliable sources for directions. (My cell phone was not an option as it's slightly out of commission at this present moment in time.) I should also state that there are TWO 2030 Marine Drive locations, so I was not completely out of the loop on the address. This is the right one.
