Internet Access and Blogging in Boquete Panama
Posted by Lee on February 2, 2010
Tuesday mornings in Boquete Panama we have a meeting and farmers market. I cannot recall the official name of the meeting but although not Politically Correct, it is known in Boquete as the Gringo Meeting. The event is held at the BCP Community Center on the Jaramillo side of the Feria Bridge. The facility is now the best venue in Boquete for a meeting or event with more than 100 attendees.
I arrived at 9:30 an hour before I needed to speak and the facility was crowded with vendors selling everything from books, artisan breads, vegetables and Thai Food. The farmers market has become the center of attention of the meeting and rightfully so when the speaker is me.
Today I spoke about two topics Internet access in Boquete, a topic that is dear to most new immigrants and blogging, a topic dear to me.
The slide show below would have been shown if the facility had a screen and projector, maybe in the future.
Part of my was message blogging is fun and good mental exercise for individuals. The other part is that Blog Software makes for a very easy method of creating and maintaining business websites that do not look need to look like blogs.
Here are two excellent examples I mentioned at the meeting:
Mudd Guitars Does not look like a blog
Elizabeth Quila Does look like a blog

errr… so you are a qualified blogger, huh Lee?
What a sad post – there are much better examples and your link to the slideshow is bogus.
Gotta give you “A” for effort, though.

Duh, thanks for the feedback. Yes I have a license to blog, so do you and anyone else who cares to blog. That was the point of the discussion to get others to recreate using blogging.
One nice thing I did mention in the meeting is having to deal with such positive feedback as yours.
The embed was messed up, it is fixed.
