jaunting about.

So many photos from last night. Was a great time. Stayed at the SoHo with about 30 other writers, & notables for a staycation with jaunt.ca. It was really fun. Thanks to the Jaunt team for spoiling us. You’re great. First time staying there. Rooms are nice and so is the service. Thank you. Our night started with cocktails & deserts. Tasty treats. Mostly ate fruit & strawberries dipped in white or spicy dark chocolate. Please adopt me SoHo. I want to live in you. Limos to the gallery. Hi kids. Welcome to Neubacher Shore Contemporary for a private gallery tour. Cute outfit. Nice to hang out with Julian & Sam. Bonga calls me Sam too.  Samuel. Nice dress SNP. Kitty matched Julian. Long skirt love. I’d like to own a gallery when I grow up. Interactive. Went for dinner after this. It was so many courses. Save that for another day!

Panel on Panels at MaRS in Toronto

Last night’s panel discussion on panel discussions (meta) went really well. I was happy to chat a few people after who said they really learned something. Thanks to Johnny Bunning aka @emanintdot for snapping this photos of us. I forgot to get someone to take a few shots. Doh! I love sharing things I’ve learned over the past few years. I’ve learned heaps about blogging, the social web and building your personal brand. I’ve been invited to speak at the She’s Connected Conference in the Fall that brings together all kinda of females in business. Hope to speak at more conferences in the coming year. I’m a natural on stage! Although I love vacation, I really love working and it’s great to be back at my home office. It’s been a busy day with lots of phone calls. Planning some cool stuff for the next month. I wanna get in as many things as I can before the summer is over. I love this heat too. No chance of complaints from this lady! I watched this again and I feel like Optimism Girl today. If you’re not smiling, you will be after you watch this. Enjoy the day 🙂

THE STATE OF THE INTERNET

Good morning! Another scorcher out there today. Drink lots of water!  I’ve got a meeting at Spoke and later this afternoon the Doc Martens Fall Preview. I’m stoked for that. Mama wants a new pair o’ shoes! This monster is so cute. For the last year I’ve worked on my own and had the opportunity to do some pretty awesome things. I’ve been really thinking about joining a team, having a full time job.  I wanna share the things I’ve learned with a cool company. I miss contributing to a group and sharing ideas with people. You now I’m social! If you have an idea, shoot me an email. I’m not exactly sure what I want to do but I like the idea of working with a startup or a cool product. Have you seen this wicked infographic Mashable posted about the state of the internet? It’ds rad. First time embedding HTML5 on my blog too. Nerd love. (I think you have to click to make it work. It’s interactive!) OnlineSchools.org /onlineschools.org   This is also interesting. Are we in a tech boom or a tech bubble? I love infographics. I also  found this fun site yesterday with the most comprehensive list on Internet Slang ever. Ok, gotta run! Have a stellar day. Remember you are younger today than you will be tomorrow, do something fun.
