I’m catching up on a few video blogs that have sat on my harddrive waiting to be uploaded. Here’s one from a couple weeks back.

Kim and I got the crazy idea that we could move a bunch of vintage at the Vancouver Flea Market to make room for the new kdon studios. We were wrong but at least we had fun.

I helped pull together a lil meetup yesterday with the Beijing Flickr Meetup Group at the Temple of Heaven. Afterwards we retired to the rooftop of the Bejing Grand Hotel for the kickoff reception of the China Access 2008 Business Forum. The photowalk was fun, but I shot mostly film so we’ll have to wait to see what turns out.

I’m doing a series of videoblog posts over at YouTube with some of the interesting peeps I’m meeting here at China Access 2008 Business forum in Beijing. Meet Martin Bloom… he takes amazing photos and joined Flickr today.

Checkin’ in from Beijing…

On Friday I’ll be headed back to China as part of the China Access 2008 program for the IT and Creative industries. I’m very excited to return to Beijing and on this trip I will also be heading over to Shanghai as a part of the extended program. Among other activities I’ll be presenting on Social Software and Web 2.0 with Robert Scales at the China Access 2008 event.

We’re also pulling together Barcamp Shanghai with the help of Crystal WIlliams and a bunch of people on the ground in Shanghai. I’ll be facilitating a PhotoCamp and a PhotoWalk. It’ll be the first Barcamp in China and should be pretty fun… if you’re in the area, please signup to come. We have lots of sponsors so it’ll be free, but limited to 80 people.
