Dot Com Pho - Day Trip Edition
I recently had a few things to take care of in the Vancouver area, and had a credit with my favourite airline Westjet that needed to be used. So hi ho, hi ho, it was off to the wet coast (or left coast, depending on how you look at it) I went on Saturday. But I couldn’t make a stop in the GVRD without meeting up with everyone for Dot Com Pho.
Using the power of Twitter, we set up a meet-up at Pho Lan in Richmond. The crew included Stephen Fung, Ed Lau, John Chow, his wife Sarah, his daughter Sally, and Jennifer Unruh from Citrus Pie. We then proceeded to poke fun at Vancouver-based hippie feel good conference Northern Voice, discuss Twitter as the newer better IM system, and point out the foibles of doing business in Richmond. Oh and the Pho was pretty good too. Check out the video below.
Local cops film meteor flight over Edmonton, were looking for doughnuts
The blogosphere and Facebook…group…here in Edmonton is all abuzz this morning with news of last nights delivery from outer space. No, aliens didn’t pick central Alberta as their locale for making first contact. I would think they would have better sense then that, and go some place warmer. Anyhow, last night a meteor entered the atmosphere over western Canada, and made for a quite a light show for residents from Alberta all the way to Manitoba. Here’s some footage of the entry from a police dash cam that I dug up from YouTube.
The cruiser was facing west bound at the time. During this I was on the highway heading north towards downtown, so all I saw was a white flash like from a lightning zap. From my understanding, NAVCAN is still unsure of where the meteor landed, or if it landed.
