Leaving on A Jet Plane

// July 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Internet Ramblings, Personal Ramblings

Well folks I’m taking this show on the road. Here’s the backstory….

A couple of months ago we were asked to go on a delegation to meet with some companies in Canada’s technology triangle. For many reasons not to be discussed here, we decided not to go. In the meantime though I started to pine for Canada, eh, my old stomping grounds. So we got back in touch with business contacts that we have in Waterloo, Toronto and Ottawa and decided that the trip was still worth making on our own steam. A few clicks through Expedia and bob’s your uncle – we are headed to North America for mixture of business, catching up with family and friends and, well…of course the sun!

How can I help you?

I will be blogging from both here and at girlstoys depending on what hat I am wearing along the way. Expect updates on the awesome possum people I meet up with along the way. A few twitter friends are already locked in for a meetup, a few are still left to be organised. Apart from planned meetings with biz contacts, I’m also looking to make connections with people I’ve met online in forums and other networks.

I’m willing to meet with people on others behalf, if its going to be at all interesting I’ll most likely squeeze it into the trip (within reason and if you let me know sooner rather than later).

How can you help me?

Have a look at my about page to get a better idea of who I am or the portfolio for info on what projects I’m up to. Then take a look at my Tripit plan – its a bit light at the mo’, but will fill up! If you know someone along the route that I could benefit from meeting, let me know. Here’s a few ideas of the kinds of people I’d like to meet.

• Fun types
• Twitter addicts
• Mother entrepeneurs
• Gaming addicts, developers or investors
• Social media enthusiasts
• Good people

Business as usual, but just thought I’d let you know. More info to follow as details unfold
