Part one in my music discovery series is the Hype Machine. I actually don’t know how I first discovered the Hype Machine, but it is the best place to discover music, artists, and even genres you wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to. Where services like last.fm and Pandora are about finding music that they already know […]

Immediate disclaimer: This isn’t meant to be an attack on Jason, nor a full-on defence against his criticism. Just my thoughts after reading an intriguing point of view from a regular political commentator. Also, as always, these are MY VIEWPOINTS AND OPINIONS, informed by nothing but my own misunderstandings of the world. Over on his […]

I’ve complained about the Prince George transit system before, (I’ve also lauded it) but that doesn’t mean I’m done with it. But before going any further, I’d like to point out that the problems I write about are not at all limited to the Prince George system– I just write about what I know. Anyways: […]

Over a week in to 2011, and I’m finally posting my favourites of 2010. Thing is, I’ve had the list written up since before Christmas, it’s just that I did it as a three-part radio show that I’ve been producing prior to posting this.

Left Prince George… Arrived in Vancouver (no rain yet)… Tried out the Millennium Line (it’s pretty great– in at 8, downtown by 9)… Found the CBC… Got a little meta with my t-shirt… Found the dungeon leading to our workspace (it’s actually a nice big studio, but the entrance is a bit ominous)… Had a ridiculous burger […]

This morning, I upgraded to the new Facebook profile. I immediately didn’t like it. I know: ultimately, Facebook’s gonna do what Facebook’s gonna do and none of us our going to quit over it. Customize those privacy settings and don’t post anything you don’t expect to be public and be done with it on that […]

I am a big fan of Hootsuite. Alongside xmarks and Instapaper, it’s one of those tools that I was so happy with that I was willing to recommend it, and recommend it enthusiastically. It’s even in my about page. What Hootsuite does it takes all your social networks and puts them in one place. You […]

Earlier this year, I was invited to give a presentation on “how to blog” for a youth forum focused on sustainable management of local water systems. I don’t know much about the specifics of that, but I do know a little bit about how to set up lines of communication using the internet and I […]

I don’t have a boat, but if I did I would get all my supplies from Marine Plus. Here’s why. One of our mic stands at CFUR broke. Well, it didn’t break, but the bolt holding it onto the desk did. Seems fairly straightforward to replace, but as it turns out, it was pretty tough. […]

I’m still going through photos from our southern Alberta trip. It was great for photographs, but it makes sorting them tough.
