I keep a notebook with me most of the time to jot down ideas and notes. Here’s some I took yesterday during a storyboard meeting: This isn’t as bad as it looks.

via teeshirtproject.tumblr.com I had an idea to do a t-shirt blog, but full credit to this guy for actually doing it– and letting a crowd of anonymous strangers decide what of your wardrobe you keep and what you get rid of.

On Saturday I volunteered at a fundraising golf tournament, which meant that I spent part of the day involved in the strenuous activity of monitoring hole 6 in case someone got a hole-in-one (they didn’t). This gave me the chance to catch up on some of the reading in my Instapaper account, and I thought […]

My blog is somewhat of a niche market. You have to either be interested in me, personally (hi, family) or be interested in the same things that interest me. I don’t follow the rules of niche blogging, and as such, severely limit my potential audience. Which is why most of my followers tend to be bots.

One of the most brilliant pieces of environmental PR I have ever seen is IfItWasMyHome.com. Basically, it takes a visualization of the British Petroleum oil spill and lets you use Google maps to put it wherever you want– for example, here’s what it would look like if it was in my hometown of Prince George […]

My Grandma would be a great blogger, as she consistenly sends me the most interesting forwards. As it is, I get to highlight my favourites, like these Simon’s Cat videos which do a stunningly good job of capturing the essence of having a cat:

I’ve sort of played with doing this before, but now I’ve found a better system for doing so. Google Reader is by far the best way to keep up with your favourite blogs, but it also has a handy note function (a great tutorial on getting started with Google Reader can be found here). So […]

There’s a lot of emphasis put on connecting with online audiences these days, hell, I’ve carved out a very small niche for myself as someone who sort of understands how to use the internet (an area that I think will soon cease to be a matter of expertise and more a matter of course). But […]

So we went to McDonald’s today, and for a variety of reasons wound up getting some Olympic mascot toys. I know people have given them a hard time since they came out, but I kind of like them, and at the very least am fascinated by the design aspect of them. Olympic mascot-making is big […]

I haven’t done the best job of keeping an updated list of my favourite reads on this blog (though you can track my reading here and here, but this morning I’ve come across three articles worth sharing, and the time to share them. Michael M’Gonigle – Against Copenhagen Wasn’t sure what to expect from the […]

A list of TV shows from the last decade that I didn’t watch, should have, and still might, shows I didn’t watch, should have, and probably won’t, shows I should have watched and did, and shows I shouldn’t have watched, but did, and don’t regret it

My father is a paramedic here in Prince George. He just went to get his flu shot and was told he wasn’t eligible since he’s not considered a front-line healthcare worker. Not sure how that decision corresponds with this (from opinion250.com): “VICTORIA – The Province is taking action to end the strike by Ambulance Service […]
