I’ve spent the last couple of days in Toronto, which explains the absense of new postings. I extended my stay by one day to attend TorCamp, which is the Toronto BarCamp event. Last night the event kicked off with drinks at The Social Bar on Queen Street W. This morning we’re all heading over the [...]
