Where Is Toronto on Google Developer's Map?
What a coincidence! The Toronto techweek.to is coming on May 28 to June 1, 2007; mesh conference is being held in Toronto on May 30th & 31st; and Google is hosting ten Google Developer Days in their various offices around the world on 31 May.
At least we can watch live streaming webcasts from Google's Mountain View office. But who knows, maybe next year we will broadcast our own streaming webcast from Google Canada's BCE Place office?

Post Jobs and Resumes, Get SIP’s Assistance and Win
INVITATION TO POST YOUR JOBS OR RESUME
SIP Launches a Unique Job Board
The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) has launched an Internet Job Board. The Internet jobs are no longer related to only website jobs but have overlapped with IT and telecommunication industries as more and more business and consumer applications are being delivered over the Internet platform.Internet Books Package: More than 10 books, covering web design, usability, java and java script, search engines, online jobs and personal developments. Winner will be announced on May 5, 2007.
SIP invites members and non-members to post their job requirements or post their resumes at no charge for an initial period of two months (ending May 1, 2007).
All postings will be eligible for a draw to win an “Internet books package” (value approximately $500, see postscript below).
In addition to the free posting, SIP will assist its members in other ways, such as:
[+] Providing Mentors
[+] Work experience or Internship
[+] Providing resources for skills upgrading
[+] Opportunity to accredit qualifications and experience to attain A.I.P. (a SIP designation)
We are pleased that this initiative is coinciding with the tenth anniversary of SIP.
The persistent expansion of the Internet in all business endeavours continues to create new professional niches and increase demand for existing skill sets. The range of Internet jobs has expanded from IT domain to human-factor engineering, marketing and social collaboration areas. Because of its value added features, I believe that SIP Job Board will meet a niche demand.
