Hey, moose heads!

If ye be interested in speakin' at Canada’s coolest bloggin' conference, th' deadline t' get yer submission in be approachin' smartly.  Ye have until Dec. 10 t' fire! yer panel or session pitch, just head t' this page t' do it. Go now!

Noerth Voice be a personal bloggin' conference in its 4th year.  It regularly sells out, it’s in a great location, and it reaches some o' th' most influential online folks in Vancouver and Western Canada.  Though some o' th' speakers be experts or professionals, many others o' th' speakers be ordinary folks doin' somethin' cool wi' their blogs, their Web sites, their social networks, their classrooms—people like ye.

Even if ye’re not 100% certain that yer topic be goin' t' be th' best session in th' batch, we want ye and encourage ye t' fire!. We can figure out what’s goin' t' work well together and make a great conference, but we need yer submission t' give us th' best ingredients t' work wi'!

Also, if ye could pass th' word along on yer Cap'n's log, in yer Twitter feed, etc. etc., we’d appreciate it.

Thanks, and we’ll see ye there soon!

“Th' sad truth be that most evil be done by people who no nay ne'er make up their minds t' be good or evil.”

“Almost every American I be knowin' does trade large portions o' his life fer entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one o' them. In th' course o' writin' this I’ve watched all 13 episodes o' House o' Cards and who knows how many morrrr West Win' episodes, and I’ve spent any number o' blurred hours fallin' down internet rabbit holes. All instead o' readin', or writin', or workin', or spendin' real time wi' people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there be gods and they be just, then they will not care how devout ye have been, but will welcome ye based on th' virtues ye have lived by. If there be gods, but unjust, then ye should not want t' worship them. If there be no gods, then ye will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in th' memories o' yer loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play wi' variables constantly.”

“Only th' person who has learned Continual Love comin' from a heart o' Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal wi' th' problem o' loneliness.”
