Hey, moose heads!

If you were interested in speaking at Canada’s coolest blogging conference, the deadline to get your submission in is approaching fast. You have until Dec. 10 to submit your panel or session pitch, just head to this page to do it. Go now!

Noerth Voice is a personal blogging conference in its 4th year. It regularly sells out, it’s in a great location, and it reaches some of the most influential online folks in Vancouver and Western Canada. Though some of the speakers are experts or professionals, many others of the speakers are ordinary folks doing something cool with their blogs, their Web sites, their social networks, their classrooms—people like you.

Even if you’re not 100% certain that your topic is going to be the best session in the batch, we want you and encourage you to submit. We can figure out what’s going to work well together and make a great conference, but we need your submission to give us the best ingredients to work with!

Also, if you could pass the word along on your blog, in your Twitter feed, etc. etc., we’d appreciate it.

Thanks, and we’ll see you there soon!

Overheard

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

...who said it?

“I’m not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so. ... She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain—it’s that the pain is actually a gift. What’s the option? God doesn’t really give you another choice.”

...who said it?

After over a decade of user testing, it is clear that the way we search the web is similar to the way we would search our home for valuables as it was burning to the ground. Frantically.

...who said it?

“We must shift the focus of companies back to the customer and away from shareholder value ... The shift necessitates a fundamental change in our prevailing theory of the firm… The current theory holds that the singular goal of the corporation should be shareholder value maximization. Instead, companies should place customers at the center of the firm and focus on delighting them, while earning an acceptable return for shareholders.”

...who said it?

“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.”

...who said it?
