For those that are not aware, my wife and I started a new business up this past spring, LuvaCup Gourmet Coffee Service. As the name suggests, it is an office coffee service which provides high quality espresso based coffee beverages to offices around the Winnipeg area.

Why did we get involved in another business? We both have a passion for exceptional coffee, and the quality of the beverages that the Barista Supremo machine creates are better than I have had in any coffee house around.

Because Joanne wasn't paying me huge heaps of money, I have been putting off developing a website for the company, but in the past couple of days I have finally developed luvacup.ca!

It is not the most feature rich site, nor is it very flashy, but I am kinda proud of it for a few reasons...

I received an email today with a great idea for cleaning up Winnipeg's downtown core. It looks as though there is a couple of afternoons being organized to clean up a couple of targetted areas in the downtown area.

What I like about this plan is it not just about cleaning up an area where it is well-deserved, but it also seems to be including a little bit of team-work, networking, cocktails and fun with a great overall goal.

Finding a few corporate sponsors, and making it into a fun time will probably attract more participants than sadly would otherwise be the case.

Unfortunately I will not be around during these two dates, otherwise I wouldh have participated, but maybe some of you readers might be interested in helping to clean up Winnipeg's downtown core!

Lets just keep our fingers crossed that the weather is great next week!

Just wanted to take a quick second to plug a presentation I am doing at the March meeting of New Media Manitoba on March 18th.

This presentation will be a couple of hours of light-hearted Drupal fun! I will be giving a brief over-view of the Drupal CMS framework, a run-down of what went on at DrupalCon 2008 in Boston last week, as well as leading some demos and question and answer session.

This is also hopefully the kick-off of the "Drupal Order of Winnipeg" user group. I have been searching around for a year and a half for other Drupal users, and hopefully I will find some at this event.

So come out and learn about Drupal and lets have some fun!
