Step 48

Alright, so the editors on Digg are all angry because this is apparently old, but I’ve never seen it and it made me laugh. I’d also like to point out that since this photo was taken, kayaking has been moved up to step 39 and there’s a stop-over in Hawaii. Posted via web from Andrew’s […]

This is old, but…

Ferrets apparently act as a tourist attraction. Multiple photos were taken, we learned "ferret" in German  ("Frettchen"), and were asked if it was the same as the animal on the nickel (it's not, if you were wondering. Oddly, it never occurred to us anyone would notice. See and download the full gallery on posterous Posted […]

How I Organized My Facebook Contacts, and What These People Mean to Me

Massive fail on the posting front: basically, my job ended, I went back to Prince George for a week, had some meetings, went to a wedding, and came back to Victoria for another short term job. In-between, we (we being the unnamed people below) spent some time doing silly things like play laser tag (it’s […]

Mr. PG On A Stamp

Mr. PG, for those of you who’ve never been through Prince George, is our city mascot: a faux-wooden man wearing a hard hat and standing on guard for civic pride.

Essential Social Media?

So today, as advised by mashable, I signed up for three new social media sites. Actually, they’re not really social media sites so much as they are social media aggregates/search engine optimizers: Google profiles, chi.mp, and retaggr.
