another sam chan: the student blogger

If you have been following my twitterfeed, you might have noticed me rambling on about some plane and missing Vancouver and what not. Your suspicions are correct; I have left my beloved town of Vancouver in the middle of an epic playoff run (the impact of my departure was immediately felt as Vancouver lost its first playoff game last night) to head east for four months to work with a little Canadian company called Research in Motion. This trip is special for me because it is my first time leaving home alone, but also because Waterloo is the town I was born in so that puts an extra oompf to this whole trip. I’m nostalgic and excited at the same time so all summer long, I’m going to be providing blogs and vlog updates with everybody here about the crazies I’ve been up to and what cool stuff (tech or otherwise) I find along the way. Already, I’ve noticed the the coke here is less sweet (are they using splenda or something?) and even big chain stores like Shoppers Drug Mart close at 6pm on a Saturday. But until I meet some people, its going to be just me and my Macbook in berry land.

The Macberry files is afoot!
