It’s rare that a seven-minute video will get me to change… anything. Today, I share with you one that did. It belongs to Dave Meslin. He used it in his Ted Talk, which is below. I watch Ted Talks all the time and like all of them, but for me to write about one here, […]
I’m excited to see that Tourism Prince George seems to be joining the Foursquare game. About a year ago, I wrote about how the Regional District of Fraser Fort George should be using Foursquare in conjunction with their Golden Raven branding. At the time, I suggested they focus on taking their Golden Raven slots and […]
Why is sharing non-music audio still a novelty?
Check out #tweettheresults for what will probably be the highest concentration of illegal tweets you’ll get to see on twitter ever. — Brock Warner (@brockwarner) May 3, 2011 I am not going to opine on the election results beyond what I said last night. But, after the fact, I would like to comment on […]
..has resulted in the first Conservative majority since the 1980s, Jack Layton bringing the NDP to official opposition for the first time in history, the Liberals being outside of both official opposition and government for the first time EVER, the decimation of the Bloc Quebecois, the first Green politician to be elected in North America, […]
When the Queen moves on, what will we put on our change?
I don’t think Canada would feel any more foreign to a visitor then it does right now. The three major news stories are an election, hockey, and a royal wedding.
Last week, I wrote this on Facebook: “On the radio they’re talking to young people who aren’t planning on voting. They’re blaming the political system, parties, etc for not engaging them. Know who else wasn’t courted by the political system throughout history? Poor people, women, Chinese-Canadians, Indo-Canadian, Japanese-Canadians, First Nations, African-Americans. More recent examples? Egyptians. […]
It’s easy to get sucked into familiar paths.
It was Foursquare Day (really) over the weekend, so I’m going to jot down some quick thoughts on what has fully emerged as the dominant player in geolocation– and why I’m still using it. It’s not about mayors and badges anymore: A large part of Foursquare’s early hook was the game aspect. If you checked-in […]
I’m a backer of the local musicians. So I thought I’d let you know about an interesting promotion going on with one of the more popular PG groups, Cera. From their Facebook page: Hi! For the first time ever, our latest EP, swans, is available for streaming online in its entirety! Incidentally, you can also […]
What if from the time an election was called to the time the ballots were counted, there was a ban on polls? What would change? Media would have to report on something other than the latest polls, for one. No more finding out which party leader with a +/- 3% margin of error is viewed […]
Just because I’m interested in what you have to say doesn’t mean I’m interested in what you listen to.
I’ve never been much of a cook. In high school, my mom was concerned that I wouldn’t have the life skills necessary to feed myself. I argued that as long as I could read a recipe, I’d be fine, and to prove my point I made a pie. It was great, and I seemed to […]
We received a brochure listing all the locations and times that Girl Guides would be selling their cookies. Not wanting to have anyone miss out, I made this map. I don’t know much about map-making, and I feel like someone else could do more, like code it by time or even make it searchable somehow. […]
