Use Your Inside Voice

God, we’re just tryin’ to have a little advisory committee, for fuck sakes… Mayor Gregor Robertson

Bike City

I’m not totally hardcore when it comes to cycling, if it’s raining hard or cold I’ll probably take public transit. But when the weather is like it is right now, getting around Vancouver on a bike is probably one of the best ways to go. I sold my car almost a year and a half [...]

Back To Life, Back To Reality

I had almost forgotten how great it was to just spend a week of vacation in Vancouver. Tonight after a busy day at work digging myself out I was thinking about the great weather I had and how nice it was just to sit on my balcony and enjoy this view.

Vancouver Mayoral Race Gets Interesting

The race for the mayor’s chair in Vancouver is starting to get very interesting. Sam Sullivan’s grip on his party’s nomination seems to be slipping after Councillor Peter Lander launched a campaign to unseat him. Tomorrow Gregor Robertson is going to announce that he will be going after the Vision Vancouver nod. It is going [...]

Running Hot & Cold

Well, its been an interesting few days. On Thursday I headed to Manchester, NH to do a video for one of our products at work. As I mentioned in a previous post I wasn’t looking forward to being in the cold or driving in winter conditions. The trip to Manchester was mostly smooth. My Air [...]

Facebook

I think I could become an addict. Over the long weekend I created an account and started adding friends. How on earth will I get anything done at work? Not that I want to go to work today when the view from the dining room table looks like this.

Mother Nature Is Pissed

I finally got an opportunity to see An Inconvenient Truth on my way back from Sydney, Australia last month. It was my second 14 hour flight in less than a week and thankfully Qantas has a great selection of films in their in-flight entertainment system. I’ve been thinking about it the last couple of days. [...]

A True British Columbian

What an ugly day! It was my first time driving in the snow in Vancouver in about 6 years. Anyone who lives east of the GVA can laugh all you want. We’ll remember that in March when we have daffodils and cherry blossoms. I left work at 2 to make the drive home. It wasn’t [...]

Most Snowfall In A Single November Day

A picture I took on the way home from work today. I’m happy my friend drove! This is going to be painful to dig out.
