see you this wednesday at ubc

This is for my friends in the Vancouver area... This Wednesday, September 23, I have the honor and privilege of speaking at the University of British Columbia.. via video conference. Coming to you live and direct from my webcam to the Victoria Learning Theatre, through the power of the internet.

It's all part of Schema Magazine's iWriteAboutMe.com, a new monthly series of web writing workshops and speakers, featuring "some of the most pioneering, innovative and ethnic cool voices on the internet." I don't think I really fit the bill, but I'll certainly do my best to make it interesting. A few details:
