I bet a lot of you didn’t know you couldn’t change the name of a Facebook Page once it reaches 100 Likes. I do, and I am willing to help people, but it seems so few value the knowledge that I have.
Constantly I would hear or get the impression that most folks don’t want to pay someone to tell them how to use Facebook, it is a free service after all. Sure it is and for the record, I wouldn’t tell someone what to do, I would help. What these folks don’t realize is, at the end of the day, a Facebook Page is a marketing tool. You are there to promote something, bring awareness about something, keep people informed, so it is important to fully think out what you are doing.
Besides determining if Facebook really is for the client I’m working with, the first thing we would do is find a good page name. Like I mentioned above, once you hit 100 likes, there is no turning back to change it. A Facebook Page name is like the domain name for your website. You can’t change it and expect people to know that you did or where your new place on the Internet is.
When choosing a Facebook Page name some best practises are to find a name that clearly says who/what/where/how and one that has longevity. Those are the two factors that I think are most important. The wwwh so users knows exactly who they are dealing with and longevity because you want a name that covers all your bases, for whatever you do.
I hope name you have some insight into naming a Facebook Page and how important it is with Social Networking to talk to someone who works with it on a daily basis. If you have a question or need help, please email me, or leave a comment below.
My Saturday morning started early when I woke up at 7am because my internal clock does not believe in sleeping in. So because I was awake I wanted to make sure I did something productive, which normally results in a big egg sandwich. This time though I wanted to try something different.
Ever since I got back to Yellowknife, my friend Frankie has made these amazing breakfast muffins at the Gourmet Cup. The muffins are jammed packed with bacon, cheese and onions, and I grab one almost every morning on my way to work. The recipe originated from another mutual friend from Yellowknife, Amy. Amy was kind enough to share it was me and some other Twitter folks, so I want to make sure she gets the credit for this amazing creation.
Here is what you need:
*note: I did add the Italian Spice to the muffin recipe after a recommendation from Frankie. It adds a little extra savory taste to the finished product.
The first thing I did was get everything prepped, pulled out of the cupboards and have the oven preheating at 400°F. I diced up the bacon and lightly pan-fried it. I did the same with the onion. I should note also that I would normally use all Green Onion, but ran out so I just a white onion, which I sautéed a little in the same pan of the bacon.
Next step was to mix the floor, baking powder, sugar, mustard powder, salt and Italian spice.
Once that mixture was mixed together I added most of shredded cheese and diced bacon to the floor mixture.
In a separate bowl I mixed together the milk, canola oil, onions, eggs and corn syrup.
Both bowls of ingredients were mixed at this point, so I then mixed them together. The batter is thick and heavy. I mixed it together just until all the floor was mixed.
Now, Amy’s recipe calls for lining a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners, but since I didn’t have any I just sprayed it with PAM.
Once the batter was evenly dispersed into all the muffin cups, I placed it in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
I pulled them out at about 19 minutes and added the rest of the cheese to the tops and stuck them back in for 30 second.
Once they were out of the oven for five minutes they all slid right out of the tin. It was like perfection.
They were ready to be devoured, which I did, but like Amy recommended they will make for perfect on the go mornings. I also plan on freezing them and eating when needed.
Now if there ever a recipe that should be shared on Pinterest, this would be it. Enjoy
THis was passed on to me today via Twitter (what isn’t it seems these days) and it shows where Twitter is in 2012. Infographics are great.
It shows Twitter’s numbers, its ups and downs, its celebrities (I couldn’t care less about) and how fast it is growing.

About a month into working at Motion Media out of Fort St. John, I got the chance to photograph the Dokie Ridge Wind Farm. The wind farm is located outside of Chetwynd, BC and stretches a long way along a ridge.
Of course, I don’t have those picture anymore to prove it, but I do have this video.

The farm was nearing completion of its build. There were numerous wind turbines standing over 100m tall and when you would stand beside them, you were nothing.
When I was driving back to Yellowknife, from Fort St. John, I saw the same turbines being trucked north. I had no idea what they were for at the time. I half jokingly said they are probably going to a mine, apparently I was right.
I guess the news broke a while ago, but the local Yellowknife paper did a piece on what and how the turbines will be used. They will be heading to Diavik Diamond Mine and will help power the mine. THIS IS BRILLIANT.
I can imagine how amazing it will look. In the middle of nowhere, literally in the arctic, a mine and giant free-standing windmills. Epic.
Back when I was working with Motion Media I wanted to get up in a helicopter and shoot the Dokie Ridge Wind Farm again, but that never came around. Maybe I can get in somehow to shoot this them, when they are built. 
Wouldn’t that be something.
It’ll be interesting to watch the project come together.
In the summer of 2002 I made my first trip to the small community of Bathurst Inlet. The community in partnership with long-time northern family the Warners operated an Eco-tourism lodge in the community, appropriately called Bathurst Inlet Lodge.
It was that first summer that I met a man by the name of Jack Sperry. Everyone knew him as Bishop John Sperry though, because that is who he was, but to those of us at Bathurst, it was Jack. At one time he traveled the arctic, mostly by dog sled, visiting 
communities along the way. Honestly, I don’t really know what he did back then, other than it was Anglican missions related and I regret that.
I was so fortunate when I was younger to be exposed to the history of the Arctic and its people, but at that age I didn’t comprehend a lot of it. There is so much I think back on that I wish I could have done to hear those stories, the history and about the people. I admire them nowadays, and I’m saddened to hear of the loss of Bishop Sperry.
For a few summers after I remember seeing Bishop Sperry talking with the guests of the Lodge. Telling them stories of the past and how life use to be. And although he wasn’t a native to the north, the detail he processed when it came to the culture and the language was captivating.
I hold people like Bishop Sperry very high, not because of what they may have done all those years ago, but because they continued to share that knowledge. They were so passionate about it that they continued to tell the stories and pass on the history.
On February 7, 2012 Bishop John Sperry received a Diamond Jubilee medal to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 year reign of the United Kingdom. On February 12, 2012, Bishop John Sperry passed away in Hay River, surrounded by family.
To quote Page Burt, another friend for Bathurst Inlet, “he leaves a great void in the hearts of people right across the North, and far beyond.”
