About

I Do This: I Do This Thing Good

My name is Shane Birley and I am a creative guy with a technical background and a literature degree. I am best described as a technologist or a nerd. I also co-authored the second edition of Blogging For Dummies. In January 2006, I helped to found Left Right Minds a web development and arts management company in Vancouver, British Columbia. We specialize in helping companies and non-profit organizations get noticed on the web. Previously, I worked for many years as a system administrator and computer technician at a variety of companies. I grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to follow a girl.

Here's a list of some sites and projects I'm involved with.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
