Thank you for your support to Conquer Cancer

This weekend is the weekend that I have been training for for a very long time. Tomorrow I’ll be starting my 200km ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls.

Over the past few months the outpouring of support from friends, family, and colleagues has been amazing. I have reached both my personal fundraising goal, and am part [...]

I need your help…to conquer cancer

In a little over a month I’ll be hitting the road for a two day epic adventure cycling 200km from Toronto to Niagara Falls to help raise funds for cancer research.

As you may have read in my previous post, I have been involved in cancer fundraising for many years, however, just over a year ago [...]

Support my Ride to Conquer Cancer

If you are reading this blog post then chances are we have met at some point in the past. You’re either a friend, family member, colleague, classmate, business acquaintance, or someone I have met as I have travelled across Canada and around the world.

As you may or may not know, my wife (Michelle) and I [...]

Getting Ready for TechDays

With two weeks to go until we kick off TechDays in Toronto, the team is doing the final preparations to deliver an amazing experience to everyone who attends.

One of the things that I’ll be taking care of during the events is photography. I’ve already got the Nikon D200 and D300 ready to go, and with [...]

Social Media for Government Conference (Ottawa)

I’ve just arrived in Ottawa to spend a couple of days at the Social Media for Government conference. I will be speaking at this conference on Wednesday afternoon. I spoke at a similar ALI conference earlier this year and blogged about that experience.

While it’s too early in the day to comment on the conference you [...]

Finding my photos on the web

I’m pretty open about people using the photos I post to flickr as I have them under a Creative Commons license. I always enjoy seeing where they land.

The most recent one is a Paul Tracy photo that I took with my Nikon D200 in Toronto on July 6, 2007. The photo is included in [...]

Sears National Kids Cancer Ride

One of the things I love about working for Microsoft (and I think I have mentioned before) is the fact that I get to take days off to volunteer my time in the community. Today was one of those days.

Today I spent the day volunteering with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride (SNKCR) during their [...]

A day at a social media conference

I spent most of my day today at the Advanced Learning Institute's Social Media Summit Canada where I was both a case study speaker, and had the opportunity to listen to some great presentations and meet some great people.

While the summit is a 4 day affair (full agenda), I was the lead off speaker for [...]

Are you a tagging Hero?

One of the things that is keeping me busy right now is the upcoming Heroes Happen {Here} launch wave that kicks off in Toronto on February 27th at the Direct Energy Centre.

My team and I are heads down putting the finishing touches on both the Community Connection Events and the main Launch and Technical Readiness [...]

[cross post] Walking for a cure

One of the great perks of working at Microsoft Canada is the ability to take paid days off to volunteer in the community. For the past four years I have been actively involved with the Weekend to End Breast Cancer (http://www.endcancer.ca) events all across Canada. This year, due to family circumstances, I was not able [...]
