I received an email today from someone wanting to know about the music I use as a bed when I do the arts round-up segment for CBC. This was my reply: Hi (name), Andrew here. The music that I use is an instrumental version of the Wu-Tang Clan song “C.R.E.A.M.” I would warn you before […]
Yesterday, my wife received a text message. Someone had found two ferrets locked in a cage in an abandoned apartment. The owner had moved out two days earlier. They hadn’t bothered taking the ferrets with them. Today, they were rescued, assessed, and put into the care of a volunteer. In spring of this year, she […]
Rest in peace, little Brattle-buddy.
I’m writing this as a tutorial for volunteers at CFUR Radio, but I figured I may as well publish it here, too, for anyone who’s interested. Bear in mind this is only my set-up, and I am by no means a pro podcaster. My method is designed to be a) free and b) relatively easy. […]
How to get married without telling anyone.
I’ve written before about the Mr. PG fanpage. For a quick recap, Mr. PG is Prince George’s roadside mascot, a tall, faux-wood lumberjack character that has been a symbol of the city since 1960. Some years ago, I made a Facebook fan page for the guy, and it’s become pretty popular. As far as I […]
Things I learned by luck or accident.
Kits beach on a Thursday Last week, I was down in Vancouver and Squamish. Vancouver while my partner worked, and Squamish for a wedding. In Vancouver, I had the day to myself in Kitsilano. It was a sunny day, so at one point I went to the beach. It was nice and close by, […]
Originally posted on Google+. —- tl;dr: I’m not going to be posting anything on G+ for the foreseeable future. Follow me on Twitter. The subtitle of this is “for now” because I’m not going to rule out Google+ ever being used. But I’ve been in for over a month, and I’ve posted very infrequently, and […]
Over the last couple of days I’ve seen two posts from people whose opinions I respect indicating that putting files in the cloud would soon be a thing of the past. First, Fred Wilson: “I was in DJ Woooo’s Dance/Electro Turntable room last week. I heard a remix track that was super fun. I hit […]
This is a post written out of selfishness. Every day on Facebook, Twitter (and now Google+) I see people posting their “song of the day” or week or moment. And often these are people whose music tastes I like. But more often than not, their linking to a YouTube page or some other independent website, […]
I was interviewed about the Listen Bird today for a student documentary today. It was because I wrote an essay about the Listen Bird a while ago— in it, I said One of my greatest fears is that one day an overzealous downtown beautifiation project will eradicate the Listen Bird’s presence. Yes, he’ll survive in […]
It is August, and it feels like early fall here in Prince George. That would be bad enough if we had had a summer, but this has been the coolest, greyest, rainiest May/June/July I can remember. This is coming off of one of the longest and snowiest winters we’ve had in years. Weather doesn’t traditionally […]
I’m producing Daybreak North today. That sounds bigger than it probably is, since I’m only holding things together for a day, as opposed to actually taking on the full-on management portions of the producer’s job. Still, I’m nervous. And excited. Two years ago, I didn’t know what I was going to be doing. I was […]
I’m posting this as a follow-up to the @hotmail.com debate. I’m doing it because I think there are a lot of people who may not realize there are implications of who your email provider is beyond functionality and perception. There’s also the matter of ownership. When your email address ends in a domain owned by […]
