I think the most blogging I’ve done in a 24 hour period usually happens on an annual basis during Blogathon, where bloggers are encouraged to join me in writing on their own sites for 24 hours straight, publishing 1 blog post every 30 minutes, and raising funds for charity. Turns out, the folks at BCIT […]

The other day my good friend Keira wrote a post called, This is What’s Awesome. At a time when holidays are far off in the distance and the city is covered with a dull layer of fog, it’s sometimes nice to just have a little fun (if even by way of a blog post) and […]

Although you don’t win anything but bragging rights and a badge for your sidebar, I still like the Canadian Blog Awards as they are people-powered and they always introduce me to some great blog and sites across our nation [Canadian Blog Awards 2007].

Last week I met up with Paul at Central City for some breakfast, a chat, and some good old fashioned Surrey talk. Paul Hillsdon is a blogger that I crossed paths with a few years ago now and he’s taken his passion for transit planning, environmental responsibility and education to the next level by running […]
