There are still seats available for ExperienceTech!2008 hosted by MaRS & IDC. I’m doing a panel moderated by Stuart MacDonald of Expedia.ca and now TripHarbor fame, Leila Boujnane of Idee and the venerable David Crow.
We did a little pre-conf/pre-panel meeting Friday evening. Stuart, Leila and David were all gathered at MaRS and I phoned in while I chased my son on his bike around our neighbourhood until my BlackBerry ran out of juice and forced me to be confined to our porch. In any case, if our conversation is any indicator of our panel, I think you won’t want to miss it. We’re going pretty much unscripted and hope to rely on the audience to drive the conversation with Stuart playing ring master keeping Leila, David and myself in line.
Even if we suck, there’s lots of other interesting speakers at ExperienceTech. Grover Righter is sharing tips on growing and exiting with less capital. Grover is rumoured to be a kick-ass speaker and a general force to be reckoned with . Tom Kelley of IDEO is talking about innovation and there are even other panels if you dare risk missing ours.
Like I said, not too late to register.

Amazon Web Services
Red Canary just posted the latest Amazon Web Services article by Terry Goertz and myself. In Surviving the Storm we dive into some of the operational and architectural considerations associated with running your solution on AWS and EC2 in particular. This is a follow-up to our first article Scaling with Clouds where we introduced the major components of AWS.
If you have topics you’d like us to cover please leave us feedback here or at Red Canary.

Waterloo
Larry mentioned that he’s not seeing that many opportunities floating around, so I thought I’d list some that I’m aware of in Waterloo.
- Covarity (my previous baby) is hiring testers, developers, admins and customer care people.
- AideRSS is looking for a UX Developer (not designer). Ideally you have strong Rails & Javascript fu.
- Miovision is growing quickly and hiring asp.net developers
- Primal Fusion is looking for a UX Designer. Get to work with B-cubed which is definitely a good thing.
EDIT: if you know of other (public) opportunities, please just add them to the comments.

Amazon Web Services
Jeff Barr gave the RedCanary article Terry and I wrote on Cloud Computing some nice coverage on the Amazon Web Services blog. Much appreciated.
So I guess we’re committed to writing at least 3 more.
