This month, Mobile Geeks of Vancouver was joined by Samir Agarwal, Head of Nokia’s European Maemo Operations, Mountain View, so there’ll be plenty of chance to chat Maemo/MeeGo. It’ll be a chance to meet like-minded people, chat and maybe find out a thing or two that you didn’t know before.”

Samir Agarwal: ” (Nokia N900) “This happens to be a mobile computer that fits into your pocket!”

In this video April Smith of AHA MEDIA, W2 and Fearless City Mobile films Tom Hall of 1000Heads and WomWorld Nokia as he introduces Samir Agarwal – Head of Nokias European Maemo Operations, Mountain View, who speaks about Maemo/MeeGo powered Nokia N900 at Mobile Geeks of Vancouver event at W2 Storyeum

April Smith of AHA MEDIA was very pleased to meet A.J. Brown on a very special day at Randi Winter’s place in Vancouvr

April Smith of AHA MEDIA was very pleased to meet A.J. Brown on a very special day at Randi Winter’s place in Vancouver!

Below is a photo of April and A.J holding her book “My Voice A Journey of Creativity, Courage and Hope”

A.J. Brown is a visual artist who creates cat and abstract paintings and is now getting into watercolors! 🙂

A.J. Brown’s website is http://www.handsandpurrs.ca/

A.J. and her art will be part of  a group showing on Friday May 14th, 2010. Everyone welcome!

The artists in this show attend to this imbalance in diverse ways, addressing issues of animal presence and subjectivity, the symbolic influence and value of animals, and inter-species friendship and compassion.

AJ Brown’s paintings of cats speak to the powerful role that pets can play in individual lives; specifically her own life, in which her cat is her constant companion and mirror. Secretly, like Marc Chagall, who always added a rooster to his dream-like watercolors of people and animals, Brown sneaks the spirit of a certain character into each painting. “I put my cat in each one,” Brown says, “and a bit of myself in as well.”
