Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

Today, Monday, is the last day to get in your speaker application for the Northern Voice conference.

Every year, I’ve encouraged people form Vancouver and beyond to share their knowledge and experience about blogging and social media, and every year, the conference has gotten bigger and better. Note: those two things aren’t necessarily related—I’m just saying.

Here’s the “secret” about Northern Voice, and why I love it so much: it seems like a big conference, but it’s not.  It’s just a few people who have stuff they’ve learned that they want to share with each other.  We have some amazing speakers, people who talk at much bigger conferences, talking in an intimate way about their passions.  And we have new folks, who have never been at a podium before, making stellar presentations on things that change their own lives and inspire audience members to speak the next year.

So, whether you are a food blogger, a lawblogger, a geoblogger, a microblogger, you have the worlds best Tumblr blog, an self-educated expert in CSS, or maybe you know a heck of a lot about the difference between Facebook Groups and Facebook Pages—submit a talk to Northern Voice.  Do it right now.  You won’t be sorry.

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”

...who said it?
