How Many Starbucks Are There In Vancouver?

Why do I care?  I don’t really but I checked this out on Digg today and thought it was one of the most insane challenges in an urban world.  According to Mark Malkoff, there are 171 Starbucks in New York.  He managed to visit each and every single Starbucks in less than 24 hours.

It got me thinking about how many Star Bucks are in Vancouver?  According to their web site there are quite a few in the area.

It looks like there are approximately 119 stores in Vancouver, but if you stretch the search out to include the Lower Mainland there are about 300.  I am curious how many there in just Vancouver proper and I couldn’t seem to make it work as well as I would have hoped.  In the downtown core alone it appears there are roughly 58.  Makes you want to drink water all the time.

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.
