Warren Frey

Warren Frey is a writer, editor, blogger and podcaster based out of Vancouver, BC. After working for six years in the Canadian broadcasting industry, he switched to print and has since covered varied assignments from plumbing conferences to star-studded film galas. But he’s never lost his love for the internet and interactive media, from his teens when he dived into the WELL on his “Woz” edition Apple IIgs with the crackle of a 1200 baud as a soundtrack, all the way up to his present explorations of the online world through his blog, Freyburg.com, which he’s maintained for the past seven years.

Warren is also knee-deep in both the local technology and media scene and a keen observer of the big changes that have taken the internet from tags and blaring MIDI files to Web 2.0 and beyond. As a blogger for Techvibes, he hopes to cover everything from new innovative products to game changing business plays in the exciting Vancouver tech space and beyond.
