Vancouver 2010: This is Our City
I’ll let the video do the talking. Special thanks to Gery Fung. That’s his voice (and words), not mine. Massively talented.
Good People Day 2010
I’m sorry about the bad Facebook video quality, but I wanted to get this up ASAP and give some props to the people I love! Read here to see what Good People Day is all about!
I encourage you to make your own, Facebook note, blog post, video or whatever to share who the good people in your life are!
Another Vancouver 2010 Blog
I am ecstatic to announce the launch of Another2010Blog.com. As many of you may have known, the Winter Olympics have hit my home town, and this blog will follow the events and the buzz (sorry Yahoo, I mean Google) going around the city during these couple of weeks. If you’re a big sports fanatic like me, you will definitely want to stop by.
The personal branding and ‘business’ (used loosely) side of me tell me that I should cover the Olympics here, since I haven’t exactly been overflowing with posts and it’d make for more visitors, hits, and other goodies that us bloggers love. However, I ultimately decided against that and here’s why:
- I see blogs as story books. Another Sam Chan is my personal story, and I believe having the Olympics in my home town is worth it’s own story – with it’s own binding and cover. 50 years from now, I want to be able to read back as about the time the Olympics hit Vancouver as its own book, and not as simply a chapter.
- The Olympics are not about me. Although I am extremely lucky to be here during this time, the 2010 Olympics are about celebrating sports and the city of Vancouver, and reporting news doesn’t keep in line with the idea of a personal blog.
- It’s an opportunity for me to use Tumblr. I have been itching to try out Tumblr for a while now and am very excited for it’s re-blog feature. It allows for greater content to be posted on a blog from different perspectives, and allows for better community building. It is my hope that during this short time, I can use the blog as a collaboration to find many more amazing experiences and stories that will live past these next 17 days.
To make it easier for you, I have added a tab at the top that links directly to the new olympics blog. I hope that I can share some of the excitement of my home city in the upcoming days.
