Net Neutrality is a *big* topic which will be addressed more in a primer post next week but in the meantime, check out this interview by Nicole Scott with Kris Krug on bnetTV.com. Kris offers some savvy suggestions about how to "frame" the conversation about net neutrality by emphasizing digital human rights in Canada with a suite of progressive policies towards access, privacy and competition.

How many times around the world can Kris K. hop from event to event. He has been running all arond North America recently.. He just returned from SxSW in Austin Texas where Raincity Studios put on a great party and talked with hundreds of people at their booth.

With Vancouver personal expression conference Northern Voice approaching, Dave O, Roland Tanglao and Richard Eriksson preview the Internet Boot Camp track at Moose Camp (Friday Feb 22, 2008).

This year at Moose Camp, Richard will present Blogging 101 and Roland (along with Jordan Behan and Warren Frey) will present Video Blogging 101 to go along with the ad hoc track. On Saturday's Northern Voice, Dave will lay out his pitch to encourage the assembled folks to seize the opportunity to make creative endeavours with integrity and not get hung on stats and fleeting noteriety. Then, plates of steaming tasty Cantonese food arrives to the table at The Boss cafe in Vancouver's Chinatown.
