Angie McKaig - E-Business Consultant and Entrepreneur
about angiemckaig.com
angiemckaig.com is the personal site of web guru Angie McKaig: serial entrepreneur, web guru, online business consultant, internet marketing wizard, writer and professional photographer.
(You want to hire her. You really do. Here's why.)
The site features over 1000 posts - offsite links with commentary, and in-depth pieces on whatever online topic amuses her. The first post was in July of 2000 and, frighteningly enough, discusses the "new" Internet Explorer 5.5 upgrade. Yees. But this site features even older gems: a (partial) copy of Angie's first web business as it was in 1997 three years before she sold it to new owners, and her very first attempts at HTML from 1995 - laughter is required. She apologizes to your eyes, in advance.
More recently, Angie has talked about email rules for entrepreneurs, running an ethical ad business, and interactive web sites that don't allow you to access your own data. And there have been links. Maaaany links.
Angie McKaig is also the owner of Pampered Puppy, an online business specializing in resources and products for pampered pets.
about Angie McKaig
Did I mention you want to hire her? You really do. Here's why.
Angie has been online since 1994 and on the web since 1995, which either makes her extremely dedicated, extremely geeky, or both. She has not yet decided. She is a self-professed information addict who reads voraciously both offline and on; topics range from business and marketing to design and geekery to science and science fiction to the occasional cheesy chick lit.
She has become increasingly obsessed with photography and has recently hung her shingle as a professional photographer. She has a Flickr feed and shoves her camera into every willing face she can find. You should probably email her and ask her to take your picture. Right now.
She has an adorable pug named Merry and also collects Santas in the two hours of free time she has each year.
She has a very bizarre, very old-school, very diverse taste in music and can tell you far more about music of the 80's than she can of 21st century music. The strangest music in her collection is Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki, a whale music tape narrated by Star trek's Mr. Spock, or the soundtrack to Victor, Victoria. You choose.
An enormous love of movies, particularly cheesy special effects-laden Hollywood disaster movies and anything created by HBO, takes up some of her leisure time. She for the most part eschews regular television programming and outright refuses to watch any channel below 200 except for the Food Network, and that's only because she is a rampant foodie with an addiction to cookbooks.
Angie makes her home in the urban jungle of Toronto. She is available for chai latte if you ask very nicely and supply chocolate chip cookies.
