I do a lot of writing. And I take a lot of notes. I have to keep track of contacts, stories, various website codes, scripts and playlists for my radio show, minutes and contracts for CFUR and other boards, plus blogs that I write. Working in two different offices plus from home, you would think […]
I took this picture last year to make a point about the ludicrousness of some of the bike lanes (or lack thereof) in parts of Prince George. With spring cycling season here, I think it’s time to come back to it. This picture is taken directly off of the highway. For a bike commuter like […]
*disclaimer: This piece is in no way an endorsement or criticism of any political party. And as always, my opinions are wholly and completely my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employers.* Jack Layton is in Prince George this morning. I’ve heard this is the first time a federal leader has visited […]
The other day, I was trying to load my blog and I noticed it was taking a long time. The same thing happened when I clicked around onto individual posts. I’d noticed this happening more frequently lately, and decided I should actually do some investigation. I ran a Google page speed test and found that […]
I’ve mentioned ambient awareness before. It’s a concept used by social scientists to describe the phenomena of obtaining peripheral knowledge. It’s usually used to the describe the process of sort of knowing what’s going on in people’s lives without necessarily engaging directly with them by getting information via things like Twitter, Facebook, etc. I think […]
Why doesn’t Prince George use its rivers as a backdrop for restaurants?
I’m on the board of the Coldsnap Music Festival. When our festival ended this year, we had an afterparty with various musicians playing for all the volunteers. Partway through the night, a guy with grey dreadlocks set up some equipment and began singing. Through technological trickery, he then started harmonizing with himself, adding beats and […]
The trouble with not unfriending: relationships never die naturally.
Discover the heart of your city.
[audio:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13148122/Your%20Man%20by%20Down%20With%20Webster.mp3] “Your Man” by Down With Webster One of the things I like about awards shows like the Junos is they expose me to bands that everyone else has lots of other people have been listening to, but I’ve somehow never heard of. For the last five years or so, I’ve lived in some sort of inverse universe […]
I just finished watching (ie listening to in the background) the 40th Annual Juno Awards. A few days ago I wrote about how Canadian content is going to become irrelevant as more and more people start listening to Canadian music naturally, without the need for enforcement. I think this edition of the awards is a […]
This is a story about the internet making the world an amazing place. Back in December, I was on Tumblr, and someone I follow posted an image of a map breaking down “North American English Dialects, Based on Pronunciation Patterns.” I took a look, found it appealed to my inner language geek and reposted. But then […]
You may or may not know that in Canada, we have rules about the amount of Canadian content (including music) that has to be played on terrestrial radio. With the huge number of quality musicians coming out of Canada these days, I’m always surprised when I run across someone who thinks that this is a difficult thing […]
Yesterday I wrote about how my autobiography has changed over the last few years from being “hireable” to being “professional but personable.” One of the things I didn’t get much into was the challenge of presenting yourself in a short but sweet fashion. My short but sweet bio is, “I’m station manager of CFUR Radio and […]
“Andrew loves music and the outdoors, plays dodgeball and road hockey, and has way too many pets.” – Daybreak Team The above is the last line from my biography. More specifically, my biography on the website for Daybreak North. And it’s once again got me thinking about how I present myself to the world. Thanks […]
