Argh... I know it seems like I've given up on blogging entirely, but that's not the case. I've just been spending a lot of time working on Evan Prodromou instead of on evan.prodromou.name, which has been a whole different kind of world.
I'm mostly poking my head up to point to an article in the Montreal Gazette about my new project, Vinismo. Montreal entrepreneur uncorks Wikipedia of wine, says the headline. I guess that "Montreal entrepreneur" is little ol' me. Go figure!
The article is nice and balanced -- it covers the obvious fact that one month after launch Vinismo is not the definitive end-all be-all of wine information... yet. Roberto Rocha, the article's author, is doing a great job covering local entrepreneurs and the startup Internet scene, and I'm glad that our site got his vote of approval.
And check out the photo they took of me and Niko at the excellent Pullman Wine Bar. How sophisticated.
Glad to be getting some press about the site, and good news for Vinismo.

BarCampCanada1
I managed to convoke the very busy trio of Sylvain Carle, Simon Law and Fred Ngo yesterday afternoon at Laïka to nail down some plans for this fall. (We were lucky enough to get the funny and insightful Madame Woo to help out, too.) The cement's not dry yet, but it looks like we're going to have BarCampCanada1 here in Montreal the 9-10 of Novemeber. That gives us about 8 weeks to plan out what we hope will be the biggest BarCamp ever in Canada.
