Many people have great ideas but not enough money or contacts to persue them. Millions have great talent but are working for an hourly wage, often not even using their skills and interests. Cambrian House aims to unite people and empower them to create and market their ideas, and to share in the profits. Modestly stated, Cambrian House is bringing in a revolution in how business is done!
While shooting a GWABS port forwarding tutorial video, Sarah Blue suddenly wanted to share a special Christmas message with everyone in the room. We later shared that message with our families, who in turn shared it with their classmates and friends. Happy holidays! -Cambrian House
DemoCampCalgary's 12 meetup was held at the oh-so-fancy Rare Method office. TransIT.ca, ChristmasFuture.org and beta.GWABS.com were all demonstrated to a packed audience. Beer was consumed by that same audience, which then migrated to the James Joyce in search of liquid refresments such as beer. No one was harmed at DemoCampCalgary 12, yet it will be the last Calgary DemoCamp of 2008.

When we don't pick up our phone after 3 rings, a neat feature called "voice mail" kicks in. When leaving a message on Cambrian House voice mail, be polite!
Big news folks! We’re proud to announce the Cambrian House community as we know it is taking its first steps towards its next evolutionary stage: crowd-powered capital. We're becoming VenCorps, a new community that will use crowdsourcing to find and fund startups, with $50,000 in fact!It just seemed like a natural next step for us to join forces with Spencer Trask (the NYC firm who financed Thomas Edison, and who helped launch InnoCentive) to create a crowdsourcing community with a fund attach...
BerryIt is imminently do-able (compared to telco infrastructure plays and Ann Coulter). Open source libraries already exist for constructing browser plug-ins, and sites such as del.icio.us have already collected reams of tagging data. This means the browser plug-in can rely on Del.icio.us tagging data for now (via their API). A functional prototype could be constructed by focusing on the browser the plug-in. Yay for immediate gratification of front-end user-experience coding!If you’d like to w...
In February 2008, a challenge was issued by Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF), "Shoot and edit a short Sci-Fi movie, in 48 hours.""No problem!" we said, knowing we'd wrap up our masterpiece in a couple hours, and spend the rest of the weekend frolicking in the snow.We had all seen Michael Bay movies... how hard could it be? While we were unable to create the cinematic masterpiece we were hoping for, we did manage one significant accomplishment... Countdown to Destruction is 172 minutes ...
Scoobie says the existing beekeeping software doesn't meet his expectations. "One major requirement in beekeeping is keeping accurate records. It's an absolute must for everyone who owns one or more hives. There are really no software record keeping programs for beekeepers today(who keep honeybees). The few that are on the market have been abandoned and are no longer supported, not to mention they were sub-par and too expensive for the hobbyist to begin with."If you’re interested in helping id...
