Events for the week of September 6 to 12.
Our TO events roundup for this shortened back to school week. Other than the Toronto International Film Festival and the Vegetarian Food Fair at Harbourfront, this is a light week for events, but here are some great options for you that may be getting lost in all the film hype.
Around the Web.
Here are some links that have caught our attention recently.
The Wilderness Downtown
If you haven’t participated in this wonderful little project yet, we highly encourage following the link for a romp through your own backyard. You’ll need a modern web browser to keep up with the HTML5 magic, but it’s a beautiful thing.
The League of Moveable Type
Open source type, ready for your best print work or @font-face fun.
Why Free Plans Don’t Work
Selling your software as a service app and the trouble with the freemium upsell.
Don’t Be Ugly By Accident!
Data mining is fun. See what happens when a dating site takes user profile photos and compares them by camera, time of day, location and more.

Events for the week of August 30 to September 5.

For sure. We’re just getting started! One of the things we highlighted in our Tumblr pros & cons post was how we dig the liking and reblogging philosophy over straight up comments. We’ve been keeping our eye on some design and tech blogs on Tumblr so we can hopefully kick the reblogging into gear. But even if we’re slow with reblogging here, we’ll look to make up for it on our other blogs.
Guys, c’mon.
I love you, but you’ve spent more time complaining about various CMS features you wish Tumblr had, then actually doing Tumblr stuff like reblogging and contributing the community. Get on that!
SXSW panel picker in full swing, round 2. Last day to vote!
Today is the last day for SXSW 2011 panel picker voting. Make sure you find those panels that matter to you and give them some love so you can enjoy your SXSW. Whether our Abolish the Hourly value pricing presentation, these fine selections from last week, or the new gems we’ve spotted in the past week highlighted below, we’re sure you’ll find some panels that interest you.
Events for the week of August 23 to August 29.
What a week! From the early week roundup of eclectic events to Thursday’s GenYTO evening and Friday’s Tequila Monthly patio party.
SXSW 2011 panel picker voting in full swing.
We in the interactive industry are in the throws of deciding SXSW 2011 panels and presentations with panel picker voting in full swing. I found much to complain about last year after wandering into far too many crap sessions so I’m taking the initiative to help improve the quality by voting heartily, pitching our own presentation (a collaborative effort with Jon Lax that I believe is very important for the creative industry), and I’ve compiled a list of standout sessions for your perusal. Take a look and please take the time to vote for the sessions that interest you.
Dear Tumblr, please bring me these features.
Last week I wrote about the pro’s and con’s of moving to Tumblr. Now that we’re here and all settled in cozily, I’d like to focus on some improvements to the system that we’d love to see.
