StartupNorth has launched

StarupNorth.ca has launched. Tracking Canadian startup stories and celebrating the vibrant startup community that is in Canada – though you might not know it. If there’s one thing that silicon valley is good at, it’s self promotion. It’s time we got on that train ourselves. There no reason Canadian entrepreneurs need to impress Scoble or Arrington before they have cred. StartupNorth is MapleleafCrunch goodness, enjoy.

Congrats to David Crow on a new Day Job

My friend David Crow has joined Microsoft. Oh my. Other gossip: he confessed that he negotiated with them to let him keep using a Mac (heh). Anyway this is cool news, and interesting as I was just beginning to think that Microsoft was turning a corner…

Now Dave, if you could just ask them to do something about Vista? 😉

Heading to Reboot!

reboot9
I’m off to Reboot9 in Copenhagen. Very excited as this will be my first reboot. This means I’ll be dashing from Enterprise2.0Camp on the 29th to catch a flight straight to London then Copenhagen. I’ll have to miss Mesh this year 🙁 , but ces’t la vie. I’ll see if we can connect Mesh+Reboot with a little live shared backchannel swarming.

Just a few of the people forward to seeing on this trip: Francesca, Riccardo, Stowe, Lee, Lars, Euan, Stephanie, Thomas Mygdal, Dianne, Magnus, Peter, Laurent, Rob… and about 500 others that I haven’t event met yet.

I’ll be pausing a few days in London on the way back (June 3 to 6th or 7th). I’ll be busy working during the day but if you are in that town lets connect. Francesca(who I think can’t actually make it to reboot) and I will be trying to organize a little meetup in London on the evening of Sunday the 3rd…
