I went to Salt tasting room last night. It’s a wonderful amazing place. If you like wine and you like cheese, this place is for you.

I also quite enjoy reading their opening blog. It looks sincere.

As they say on the website:

A restaurant in Blood Alley? With no kitchen or hot food? Which only serves cheese and meat?

If you are walking down Carrall street in Vancouver, going into Gastown. Pay attention when you walk by blood alley. You’ll see a huge salt shaker sign. It’s their smart logo.

I had a tasting plate, which is choice of 3 meat/cheese with 3 condiments. I said I want the oka, and no corned beef and no olives, they just did the rest of the pairing. It was quite tasty. Their menu constantly changes, I can’t wait to go back next time and … Read More »

Phoenix Sky Harbor has free wireless internet!
I love free wireless! All airports should have free wireless.

I still haven’t figured out what’s in Phoenix exactly, as in, major attractions. I keep thinking that there was an old TV show based in Phoenix. Was it Twin Peaks? When we got off the plane the lady said “welcome to Sacramentoâ€?! I got confused.

Random fact of this airport, lots of people travel with their dogs.

Anyways.

I am catching up on some work while waiting for my 5 hour layover to Mexico. YAY! I am going to be in Mexico in 5 hours. (or less..) It’s a nice getaway during the ultra stressful holiday season, especially when Vancouver is having storm and snow.

Most random thing, bumped into Bob in YVR. He was on his way to Phoenix. We were on the same flight. What a funny … Read More »

After traveling and being on the road for so long, my trip to Seattle this week seems very short. Well, it was short. I went down to Seattle on Tuesday night with the raincity studios crew. We were there for the drupal camp. It was a great success I have to say. Everyone had a great time. If you go through the comments in the Drupal Camp website you’ll find lots of useful information everyone contributed during the sessions.

It was also great hanging out with my raincity peeps. Nice one boys. Had tons of fun.

Some people from the magnificent internet also showed up in town this weekend for gnomedex. I had a good time hanging out with Brent, who is actually NOT going to gnomedex. (Hey Brent, thanks for being such a wonderful host. When … Read More »

It’s actually pretty embarrassing for me to admit this, but I really haven’t been writing anything on my blog.

Obviously it’s all links from my delicious. I wish I have time to write about each and every one of them because they are really inspiring sites. Let me do a point form here about some random thoughts:

headshift seems like a really cool company based in London. They talk about social web but yet if you search for web 2.0 there are only 2 results. What does that mean to you?
I like the fact the company does some interesting research projects. The way headshift approaches social web/social software just seems like they actually do care. Browse through their projects and maybe you’ll understand what I am talking about.I know about headshift because of bru, who I met briefly when I was in … Read More »

In the SAFE: Design Takes on Risk exhibition, James Patten from Tangible Media Group had a very ethical project called the Corporate Fallout detector that helps people make better choices when shopping. (The video is hilarious by the way) It’s one of the projects that I liked the most after going through the whole website (And I wish I can fly to MoMA just to see the exhibition myself.) The awareness for ethical and fair trade product is heightened in the recent year. I just met a person who is a buyer for an organic shop in Seattle. She was telling me about the conference and trade-shows she attended. The accomplishment in her work, according to her, is the power she has of deciding what gets into the market. As a smaller shop, it works as a portal for new … Read More »
