Even before Richard had pointed out the website to me, I had spotted stickers at the SFU Library advertising the We Ride Transit website. Those stickers clearly indicated the campaign as a project of the Canadian Federation of Students – which, given its rocky history with the Simon Fraser Student Society, prompted me to raise [...]
Just received word this morning from NearlyFreeSpeech, my hosting provider, that they’ll be moving their equipment to a new datacentre, so this site will be down for four to eight hours this coming Monday. I think this will not affect my email (third-party hosted with a MX record from NFS directing the traffic), but I’ve [...]
I’m going to procrastinate packing for my trip by giving some late mentions to some cool stuff I’ve done since August started: On a whim, I decided to invite a bunch of my friends to go see a the Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre company’s production of Cowboys and Samurais. The play is kind of a [...]
The recent blog-silence is attributable to mainly two things: firstly, moving back to Vancouver. The past two weeks have been a flurry of stuff-selling, packing, logistics-shepherding, goodbye dinners, throwing stuff away (and being quite sheepish about how attached I unwittingly became to the stupidest things), work-report writing, address-changing, throwing more stuff away, unpacking, and getting [...]
I’ve been wanting to blog this, but I’m going to just cop out and half-blog this. Last month, I was fortunate enough to round up a couple of friends to go with me to the Mammalian Diving Reflex’s latest Diplomatic Immunities performance, entitled Audience Relocation. I was glad to be able to do this before [...]
Sarah‘s spilled on her blog about five things that people don’t know about her, and for her trouble I’ve been tagged to do the same. What, the Intarwebs wants more disclosure? I guess this is the Intarweb’s way of reminding us that it doesn’t exist meaningfully unless we feed it with the contents of our [...]
So, I was kindly informed yesterday that I’m out of NaBloPoMo. Considering I’d skipped a couple of posts last week, I suppose it was overdue. Well, boo. What was I doing when I wasn’t posting in my blog as much as I said I would? Why, I thought you would never ask. Friday, October 10 [...]
Wow, is it the last week of September already? Time flies when you’re… doing anything but watching the time? Though I have been doing a lot of that too.
At WorldChanging, Alex Steffen writes about out-collaborating the coming-maybe-really [tag]H5N1 pandemic[/tag] through blogs. It’s an interesting proposition, that blogs may do more than media and governments in ringing the alarm. Following the lead of others in the blogosphere, here is the dirty rundown on the Bird Flu:
I remember reading Richard‘s post on Asian Women at some point when we’d first met, but I don’t recall having much of a reaction to it, either then or just now that I’ve re-read it. My reason for revisiting lies in the scathing feedback that someone leveled him for stating his thoughts on Asian women. [...]
