Rafe Needleman of CNet took Shopify for a spin.
… It’s a hosted commerce site—not a unique concept. But it’s got a super-clean design that makes setting up a store incredibly easy. If you have a small business that sells goods, this site is definitely worth checking out.
Shopify makes quick work of [...]
I had a cool conversation with Craig Fitzpatrick the other day. He was talking to me about how marketing has changed in the last few years. Basically he was saying that this movement towards simplicity that we are seeing everywhere has also prominently hit the world of marketing speak. Unfortunately, many marketers dont know this [...]
This is kind of cool. Last week, we enabled 45 or so more countries into Shopify. This means that people from those countries can use Shopify and people using Shopify can ship to those countries. It was a lot of work to set up since you have to know the tax rates for goods [...]
Our goal is to give Shopify the ability to support as many countries as Paypal does.
The one problem that we have is figuring out the VAT for many these countries. So far the only ones we are missing are the following:
Puerto Rico, South Korea and Jamaica,
If anyone knows a reliable resource where I can [...]
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventer of the web, seems pretty upbeat about the future of web technology in a recent article published on the Reuters site. If youre interested you should take a look. This is the guy who started it all.
My personal view is that a lot of it is coming together now. [...]

Daniel brought up a good point a while ago about my domain name. Essentially he said that since I own nologi.ca, not only could I have tech.nologi.ca but I could also have chro.nologi.ca as a URL. At the time, I was happy to go with Technologica but lately Ive been thinking that Chronologica [...]
Barcamp and Mesh were both amazing this past weekend. Above is a pic of me in the main room at the Mars building where Mesh was held. Im the one with the white and red halo. Thanks to Mastermaq for the photo. (Go Oilers!!!)
The only problem that I had at Mesh was keeping track [...]

Ok, I didn’t blog about Game One because it was such an anomoly. Who ties a game with 10 seconds to go, then wins 15 seconds into overtime? Who scores 7 goals on 23 shots? Who loses 41 faceoffs and still wins? In any case, it happens once in a while and this [...]
This past saturday something amazing happened. reorganize.ca made its first sale using its Shopify beta store. This is great news because this was the first sale that any Shopify store has ever made. Please check them out, their site is one of the nicest e-commerce sites I have ever seen.
I did a podcast the other day for the Big Act which is Sproutit’s blog. Although I like doing podcasts, it really hard for me to listen to my own voice afterwards. I always think “do I really sound like that?” In any case, if you’re interested and would like [...]
Tobi, Daniel and I have been having a great time watching the Ask a Ninja videos at www.askaninja.com. They are so funny and stupid at the same time. I have no idea who is behind the whole thing but it is really worth a look. The idea behind the site is that you can [...]
Not that I needed Rolling Stone to clear up this point for me but this is a very interesting article about the success of the Bush administration.
Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history. In early 2004, an informal survey of [...]
This past weekend the Rideau Canal was filled again. This is one of my favorite days of the year because it means summer is almost here. I live on one side of the canal and work on the other, so I cross it everyday. In the winter they drain much of the water [...]
