Last night, I attended DemoCamp Toronto 24, my first ever DemoCamp event. Shocking, I know, that it took so long for me to attend one. The night started off with an interview of Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibrary.tv about his experiences, as part of the tour for his new book, Crush It! (which, by the way, was being given for free to attendees.) After Gary's interview, we had a break for pizza and networking, after which there were six demos, spanning from GridCentric through to Cadmus.

I'll put down my notes from Gary's interview later on, but let's start off with the demos.

Last night, at Energize IT (hosted by Microsoft Canada at their Mississauga headquarters), I got to talk with Joey deVilla about a few different things. One of those topics, which I'm pleased to share with you now, is an upcoming Coffee and Code for Durham Region!

Yesterday, I attended Lifecamp Toronto, a lifehacking event organized and hosted by Sacha Chua, over at a neat little place called Linuxcaffe. The idea behind Lifecamp Toronto (a.k.a. #lifecampTO for those of you on Twitter) was that people could have the opportunity to share what they can provide for others, what help they'd like from others, and network based on those sets of traits.

Venture capitalist and Apple alumnus Guy Kawasaki last week posted in his blog Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn (which, strangely enough, actually has thirteen ways). Since I use LinkedIn to keep what effects to an online resume and rolodex, having good advice on how to improve my use of the service is always useful.
