performing at UNBC for back-to-school. It was a cool night, and turn-out was less than it could have been, but they put on a good show. Highlight was probably when a fire alarm was set off and the beer garden had to be emptied out. As the lead singer said: “Let’s see how long it […]
Shawn Petriw noticed some similarities between the logo for the City of Prince George and skateboard clothing company Fenchurch. Turns out it’s a recurring motif.
One of the things I like most about Firefox is the add-ons, in particular the custom search bar over in the top right corner. It allows you to search Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, and any number of other services directly without having to navigate to the website first– a real time-saver if you spend any length […]
After our trip to southern Alberta (photo set now 1/6 done!), my girlfriend carried on for a visit with family in Vancouver with her dad. Before going, I loaded up her iPod with some new podcasts including my current obsession, This American Life. I don’t know which episode in particular, because I haven’t heard it […]
Find out when the bus is cancelled.
I’m going to a friend’s wedding in Lethbridge, and so will be visiting a part of the country I’ve never been before: southern Alberta. I really had no idea what was down there so I went to the library and picked up some travel books. Now I’m wishing I’d booked more time in order to […]
I believe Wells is where everyone from Prince George to Williams Lake who’s ever had a neighbour complain about violating some sort of appearance bylaw has moved. It is awesome.
Adventures in managing the Facebook account for a giant wooden mascot.
I don’t listen to a lot of radio from the States, but after seeing three recommendations for “This American Life” in three days, I decided to give it a go. I visited their website and clicked on “Favorites” and ultimately chose “20 Acts in 60 Minutes.” The gist is simple: in the hour-long show, they […]
More to follow.
One thing I love about working at CBC is having the onus to contact random people and talk to them about what they do. You never know what you might learn. Take, for example, a story I just did on the 41st Annual BC Old Time Fiddler’s Competition here in Prince George. What sparked my […]
My sister recently completed her undergrad, and we marked the occasion with dinner and cake. Here’s the mandatory photoshoot– I went for a behind-the-scenes look. More on Flickr
Here’s a cool event from “northern BC’s music capital” (not sure when they got that designation, but events like this certainly help make the case). Essentially, in order to encourage people to try out bus routes they offer free transit that includes local musicians playing on the bus. Would love to see that here in […]
I went to going-away shindig for a coworker earlier this week. That’s not altogether unusual. What is unusual is the number of people outside of my workplace who are aware of and care about the fact that this going-away is happening. You see, it was for none other than Daybreak North host Chris Walker who, […]
Here we have a golf course in the perfect location for a park with manicured lawns, gently rolling hills, ornamental ponds and paths already in place. Why bulldoze it to make room for housing and retail space which the city doesn’t need?
