Conor let the cat out of the bag on Monday when blognation Ireland launched, and I decided to promote Conor and fess up on my personal blog. Oh right, who am I? I?m Tris Hussey, editor for blognation Canada, and I hope you come back and read about all the amazing tech and mobile news and events going on up here in the Great White North.
You think Canada is all just hockey, beer, and maple syrup? Yeah, not so much. Let?s talk about things like Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone, Northern Telecom (now Nortel) inventing voicemail and many other phone features, Corel, RIM ? how about PHP?
We also are the birthplace of Flickr, StumbleUpon, Club Penguin, Webkinz, b5media, and the man who invented Java?and far many more.
What?s going to be going on here? Well the standard news with a Canadian twist (no that doesn?t mean I?ll end each sentence with ?eh?), profiles of Canadian start ups, and probably a podcast or radio show.
Speaking of start ups, even though I thought was tuned into the tech scene here, after doing some digging I was blown away with all the amazing companies that I found. I think I could cover one a day and not finish for months!
A little more about me perhaps. I?m also the Chief Technical Partner at One By One Media (which means I?m chief tech and pixel washer), I blog at b5media, and have been blogging for what seems like forever, but has really only been about 3 and a half years. I?ve also worked in the pharmaceutical industry developing websites, worked for the Vancouver software startup Qumana, and even been a research scientist.
In the next several posts, I?ll be giving an overview of some of the companies who I think are cool up here and mix in some cool news as well.
Until then ?
