WordCamp San Francisco

WordCamp San Francisco is just around the corner on August 16th and will be held at the Mission Bay Conference Centre. I recently attended the WordCamp Fraser Valley on July 16th with Harry. It ended up being geared towards newbie bloggers. We did walk away with some good advertising tips from John Chow.

This event is hosted by the creators of WordPress and from looking at the various posts from other bloggers it seems to be a great event to go to. Can you also find some decent flights out of Seattle for about $250 return.

A-Team RC Car

A-Team Van-tastic

I pity the fool who doesn’t think this little RC car is cool. The A-Team show was one of my favourite shows when I was little, next to Air Wolf and MacGyver.

Firebox has the A-Team van in stock, so you can relive those childhood memories.

Rather go in a life size version? Why not book the A-Team Limo for your next event.

Google Maps Adds Walking Directions

Walking Directions

I have been a big fan of Google Maps since they launched. They have steadily been adding new features such as satelite, terrain, and street views. Most recently they added Public Transit to the Vancouver region allowing you to map out your bus route and see where the stops actually are.

Just this week Google has added walking directions which will direct you down one-way streets and areas where cars do not go. I love how they intergrated the Public transit directions in as well.  It will now show you that you must walk a certain distance then catch a bus to get to your destination.

What Google feature do you use the most in your daily routine?

Sleeping in on the weekend a no-no!

After a long week what most people look forward to is sleeping in on the weekend. I know I do! The past little while I have been adjusting my schedule and waking up at 5AM to make my Fitness Bootcamp class. I have also been waking up at around 8AM on the weekend. I have noticed I am starting to have more consistant energy throughout the day. Popular Science has an article on the effects of sleeping in. I wonder what side effects are from this Blogathon?

Do you like sleeping in? Do you agree with Popular Science? Voice your opinion in the comments.
