Adam Merrifield

a picture of me
I am a web designer, theme designer, professional photographer and internet personality. I make many pretty things and I write a lot of content for the internet.

I am one of those guys that, because of the industry I am in, need to be connected at all times. At any given moment you'll find me posting on a forum, updating with twitter, Digging things worthy of attention, uploading pictures, or tagging cool sites.

here i am

seyDoggy Systems:
This is home base, the corporate headquarters, the hub, if you will, seyDoggy.com.

seyDesign news:
these are the RapidWeaver related posts that originally appear in the seyDesign.com blog

Uploads from seyDoggy:
these are the pictures that I upload to flickr

Merrifield Photography:
as a professional photographer I my camera ready at Merrifield-Photography.com.

delicious.com/seydoggy:
these are the websites I want to share or revisit later on. I just tag them on delicious.com.

what i am

I am the owner and operator of seyDoggy Systems, a small theme, code and design outfit based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We primarily develop web based technologies but have begun to dabble in the desktop realm.

what i do

I code like a fool. I design like a fool. I am happiest when I can split my time between the two (though I tire of Photoshop faster then I do TextMate or Terminal), and somehow I have managed to etch out a living doing so.

Going to democamp Guelph Tonight

democamp Guelph

Tonight I’m heading out to democamp Guelph for a little geek networking, beer and to hear about the latest and greatest in new tech ideas in and around the Guelph area.

The event happens every 3 months or so and consists of a couple hours of 3 minute demos followed by a brief Q & A period. The demos usually consist of new startup ideas, web apps in development, new concepts and overall tech geekness.

But more important are the people who show up. If you’re just getting started in the tech sector, or have just recently had a great idea for a startup, there is no better place to start your networking.

If you want to keep up with what’s going on tonight at democamp Guelph, just follow the twitter hash tag: #dcg.
