As part of the Blissdom Toronto 2012 Ultimate Foodie Excursion, I led a tour through Kensington Market Sunday Morning. We did the tour after a great breakfast at Caplansky's & before heading down to Longo's MLS for the the Cuisinart Soup Challenge. What an honour to be invited to do this.Thank you Emma, it was great fun!
Custom covers at Unplugged — Originally uploaded by LexnGer "Custom" takes on a new meaning when you get a custom cover done for you onthe spot by the books artists. Love the creativity of the exhibitors at Unplugged Expo from the customcovers to beautiful poster art to pottery and even chain mail bikinis
Unplugged Expo with TightsAndFights.com — Originally uploaded by LexnGer Ran into Scott Albert on the way home yesterday and he told me about theUnplugged Expo at the Primrose Hotel this weekend.This explains the cosplay in Allan Gardens this weekend.I’m at the Expo this morning for a workshop for Voice Actors. somethingI’ve considered trying on and off for years.
It’s becoming a habit, when I return from the island I go almost immediately to a conference. This time it was Social Mix 2012 put on by Jugnoo which brought me out of my island-mode and immediately into the crowds of smart, inspiring and fascinating people. The conference, which also functioned as a fundraiser for The Remix Project, was great. Really engaging and charismatic speakers talking about social from a strong business perspective. My kind of conversations. I loved the fact that both Amber Mac, in her opening key note, and Gary Vaynerchuk, in his closing key note, talked about…
[Samsung Smart Camera] Sent you a message! — Originally uploaded by LexnGer Mark & Bob on stage getting things rolling and me in my usual seat with a camera catching the action. PAB is in it's final year, and after 7 years of bring together content creators of all stripes, inspiring, provocing and challenging, it will be hard to say goodbye. But we don't have to worry about that for 2 more days… now onto the laughter!
Spending the day at #SCCTO. First 30 minutes, I already have more swag and samples than I can carry — Originally uploaded by LexnGer

It’s Patently Unfair To Bring a Camera To Breakfast — Originally uploaded by LexnGer I know more than a few of you who are reading this have be subjected to a similar fate because of me and my camera(s). But at least I don’t usually do it to you before 9am. These guys on the other hand… I was recently invited to join Ryan and Dave from HootSuite for a group breakfast. I really should have just left it in my bag – but somehow, I never do. Funny that I didn’t have any shots of food.
I’m really looking forward to this year’s Terroir at Hart House on Tuesday. The theme this year is Innovation & Inspiration Last year’s event was a fantastic learning and networking experience. And the food wasn’t bad either. My three favourite sessions were: Mirella Amato of Beerology and Kathleen MacIntosh, Ontario Cheese Society & Culinarium Panel on Creating a Culinary Destination Chef Owen Steinberg’s Flavour Development Seminar One of the sessions at Terroir 2009 was Chef Owen Steinberg’s session on flavour development. Using a squash soup as the basis, he took us through the flavour development step by step. it was…
So I snagged a copy enroute. Lots of great folks + friends get a shout out for their good work. #hohoto reference caught me by surprize. (pg 109) Will not write in organiser’s twitter ids… But tempted!
Alexa Clark recently attended the SOHO/SME Conference in Toronto. She recaps the highlights from speakers such as Yahoo!’s Maor Daniel (presentation slides included) and Flirty Girl Fitness’s Kerry Knee as well as the latest in gadgets from Mike Agerbo of GetConnected TV. October seems to be Conference Month for me. The first on e on the circuit was the SOHO|SME Business Conference & Expo. The conference, whose focus is Small Office Home Office “For Businesses On The Grow”, was held in Toronto last week and is going to be in Vancouver for its 11th year on October 30th. As an…
MESH – Toronto’s Web 2.0 Conference Photo courtesy of miss_rogue. Staring our very own Tara Hunt!!!! Tara will be speaking about the evolution of marketing and after watching her flickr stream and reading her latest blog entries it should be a fascinating talk filled with Pinko overtones and Cluetrain tendencies. Can’t wait!
