I know pedestrians in the city can get a little crazy and if you’re a driver they’re your worst enemy on the road. Although when you’re out walking somewhere, the drivers are the bad guys. It goes both ways but that doesn’t mean rules of the road should be ignored. I don’t know how many […]

Internet Explorer 6 is bad. It is not good. No, not at all. If you use Windows, please upgrade to the more secure ‘won’t melt your machine down’ Internet Explorer 7 (if you must use IE). Not only is it more secure, it actually displays pages the way they’re supposed to be seen. How do […]

But I will be at Holly McNarland‘s show tonight at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Tickets are $19.95 and there are still a few available if you’d like to check out my fave Canadian female singer/songwriter. Update: Deb left a note in the comments about attending the show – some of her pics are featured […]

Apparently Metro Vancouver, fka the GVRD is hurt and displeased with its google rank and is in need of some serious SEO help. If you Google it, you’ll get eight other entries, including a newspaper, soccer league and hotel before you finally find the one for the body formerly known as the GVRD. Staff tell […]

Yesterday I put the super-secret word out that Dancing Matt himself would be down at English Bay, well, dancing. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he’d saved to wander around the planet until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family […]

For the 3rd year I will be participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure on September 30th, 2007. John and I have done our fair share of runs in the city in the past but we usually make sure to catch this one every year because it’s for such a great cause. The Canadian […]

When I was 9 years old the Skytrain came to Surrey. I remember driving over the Pattullo in our little red van every week and watching the progress on the Skybridge, just wondering how tall it would go and what it would look like when a train went across there for the first time. This […]

After reading Rod Templeton and seeing John Chow and his bagillion-dollar ad revenues one too many times on The Lab I finally decided to start ramping up the monetization of the site. Yes, “monetize” is not my favourite word either but it’s about time I started doing a little more. If I can promote local […]

Ever since Tod Maffin‘s session at Barcamp I’ve been thinking about getting me some silicone. I have a nice, white, pristine MacBook and I need to protect it somehow. Yesterday at the Apple Store in good ol’ Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, WA I checked out some possible keyboard covers. They were clear or white and […]

We’re almost through Season 4 of Rescue Me. I spotted Denis Leary wearing a BC Lions shirt earlier in the season and scooped a screenshot on Episode 11. We know Leary is a hockey fan and although I’m pretty sure we may never see him in a Canucks jersey, it was kinda neat to catch […]
