    See you at Gnomedex 6.0 - Cool Technology Conference started by pacificIT
    Well it’s now June and the event I’ve been long awaiting for will be happening at the end of the month – Gnomedex 6.0. This is a highly successful “grassroots, unconference” originally conceived by Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome. Since his move to Seattle and the growth of this conference, it wasn’t really a [...]

    My First Japan Earthquake Today - Kameyama started by pacificIT
    Though I’m tired after a long and eventful day, I really wanted to record my thoughts about my experience in my very first EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN!

    Yesterday my Sweetie and I went to Suzuka in Mie-ken for a family event. Mie-ken is the next province over from Aichi, which is where we’re staying and it’s about [...]
    Another Reason Why I Love Tech-Savvy Seattle started by pacificIT
    Yesterday on the way home to Vancouver along I-5 I was shocked and amazed when I spotted a bus in front of me. Does that say Wi-Fi? Get out! Seattle buses have Wi-Fi on them? This just blows my mind. Today I checked online and yup, there they are. [...]
    Mac Parody started by pacificIT
    An excellent little rant by Hunter Kressel about how great the MACINTOSH computer is (warning: some coarse language).

    See his company’s website here.

    Funny stuff!

    Enjoy!

    Blogging for a job started by pacificIT
    A good friend of mine here in Vancouver is pulling out all the stops to get noticed and to get a job in the marketing field. Fellow networking and Meetup Organizer Keir Reynolds has launched a new website and blog called EMERIH (Get it? Hireme spelled backwards!). I first discovered it under the [...]

    Really sad about Dan Fogelberg’s death. Leader of the Band, Same Old Lang Syne and many others. A great talent lost. Many memories. #

    Project Management with Google Spreadsheets started by pacificIT
    Thank you for visiting pacificIT!

    Most people land on this page after searching for “google spreadsheets” and “project management” or some variation of that. The expectation I have found is most people are looking for a template to help them with a project. This article DOES NOT provide one. Since written Google Spreadsheets have become an [...]
    Earthquake hit Niigata this morning. All in fine in Nagoya started by pacificIT
    For those who don’t read my Twitter feed, the 6.7 earthquake which hit Japan this morning was located in the Niigata/Nagano area of Japan. All is OK with us and we pray no further damage happens to that area.

    Playing around with a new theme for pacificIT started by pacificIT
    Well playing around with a new theme for the blog. This has been a long time coming. I certainly have had a hard time deciding how I want things to go online in this area.

    One thing I wanted to do was to go away from playing with so many widgets and focus more on the [...]
    Typhoon Man-Yi Hits Japan started by pacificIT
    Yesterday while I was in the office, a meeting was called by the Japanese head of staff for a VERY important announcement. Tropical storm Man-Yi had turned into typhoon Man-Yi and had decided after pounding Okinawa to make a right hand turn and head straight for the most populated parts of Japan - including [...]
    Zooomr - Conquering The World (From Japan) started by pacificIT
    Kristopher Tate is a known entity in the Web 2.0 world. Both he and his startup Zooomr are frequently covered in Techcrunch, Mashable and many, many other blogs. While most articles have focussed on his age (he’s 20 19!), the part which seems to be tossed to the side is he is developing and offering [...]

    Was hoping to have a meeting with someone downtown today but something went wrong in the process and instead checked a few things out and made a few observations. Here is an audio of my muses.

    Looking for a new pacificIT blog header photo started by pacificIT
    Just before anyone comments on it… yes, the header is a picture of New York and I’m in Japan. Looking around for a nice black and white shot (or shot which can be turned into one) of Japan, Nagoya, Tokyo or something else. If you have a suggestion, let me know! [Update: Found one!]

    Remembering 9/11 In Vancouver started by pacificIT
    Yes, I remember where I was on that day. I was on my way to the Guildford Office of Freedom 55 (not my favourite managed office though I had a great many friends with the staff and advisors). It was a bit cool but clear morning in Vancouver. The events of [...]

    Google Earth - Where On Earth Is Pacific IT? started by pacificIT
    Every once in a while there’s a VERY cool piece of technology which comes around. I’ve been having a lot of fun with Google Earth.

    In this little demonstration, I’ve captured a “take off” from our office in downtown Vancouver right out to Outer Space. It’s amazing how accurate the detail is, particularly the [...]

    Online PowerPoint presentations are now accessible and sharable with two new free online Web 2.0 products: SlideShare and Zoho Show.

    The struggle to access PowerPoint type presentations through an Internet browser has been a challenge for many years.  Microsoft, Adobe and many other vendors have attempted
    Utterz is Utterly Excellent started by pacificIT
    In mid September Simeon Margolis and his team at Utterz went live. Yet another social network? Perhaps. Though this one has enough bells and whistles to truly attract my attention as being “the next step for microblogging after Twitter“.

    The setup for Utterz is pretty familiar to all. Free account. Invite friends. Blah, blah, blah. BUT [...]

    It’s great being the only non-Japanese on the train. You get LOTS of empty seats around you! #

    Bad evening with the taxi at Ko again. Left me stranded after class. Not sure who’s responsible but whoever it was is nasty. #

    Buy Me A Coffee - Easiest Way To Get Paid Through Your Blog Or Twitter started by pacificIT
    I’ve had a PayPal account for many years now and have found it to be a great tool to make payments. On the receiving side, it does a decent job though the interface has sometimes been a little overwhelming for both the “basic” programmer (such as myself) or for the intended audience who have to [...]
    K7 Unified Messaging - Free Seattle Number started by pacificIT
    K7.net is a service I’ve played with for sometime. It’s the only free service which truly gives you a fully functional voicemail and fax number without advertising. The issue with any of these services is getting a local number. Years ago I used JFax and more recently Protus which will give you fax and/or [...]
