Note: If you don’t want to read another take on ~the discourse~ just click out. There’s nothing new here. I really liked Twitter. I joined over a decade ago, back when you had to manually retweet people and there was actually a 140-character limit. At the time there were lots of websites: Flickr, Facebook, Tumblr […]

using roads for more than driving expectation that sick people take time off work, and get paid for it more flexibility for working parents no handshakes takeout cocktails things we should not: drive-by honking pararades
I’m not quite sure when it happened, but some time over the past few months there’s been a noticeable change in the population of people around downtown. It used to be that there were a few regulars on the sidewalks around my office with the occasional new face. But now there’s fewer people I recognize, […]
What if there was a mayor’s race and nobody came?
I’m hoping to do a story on the nightlife (or lack thereof) in Prince George. As I envision in it, I need the voices of residents past and present with their take on what the bar scene is like in the city. I’m not looking for experts, just “average” people for a voice montage. And […]
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. […]
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 […]

The Arbitrarys and the Concerns of Royalty are bands/friends of mine from Prince George currently on tour across Canada. If you happen to be on any of their stops, why not go out and discover some great music (and I say this as a genuine fan):
As someone who spent a summer as a student working in a sawmill at a wage that still outstrips anything I’ve done since, and currently works for about 3/5 that wage in a position that allows me to be as creative as I want, I’m not surprised by this– but it’s still something worth disseminating. […]
I bought a new ladder. It’s a space-saver, in that it goes from this: To this: Which is good, because I need room in my shed for hockey nets. Now to take down some Christmas lights.
