8sharesIn honour of Keira heading to her hometown today on Vancouver Island (and Alanah who we want to import for the hockey season) I thought I would post about this little tid bit that we should all be proud of. Travel + Leisure’s 2007 readers survey identified Vancouver Island as the best island in Canada […]

16sharesI never log into my hotmail account anymore, not even through MSN messenger (after getting gmail 3 years ago, really). Since getting a Mac I just use Adium as my chat client at home and at work I log in through web-based Meebo. Apparently it’s been a while since I actually checked my hotmail email […]

7sharesAs an added incentive for pledging my Blogathon efforts for the Surrey Food Bank from Saturday to Sunday, I decided to give away some tickets to the Vancouver Canadians game on August 4th (Mexico Night!) Watch the YouTube video below to see whose name was picked from the hat. Thanks again everyone! *Also, you can […]

Just reading the “morning” news headlines and since I pretty much covered the fireworks and some of the post-firework hoopla in the podcast, here’s the ‘official’ word. It was also another busy night for Vancouver Police. Constable Howard Chow says there were over 430 liquor […]

6sharesNo, actually blogging is NOT on Tourism Vancouver’s 100 Days of Summer fun guide, although it should be – I’m having a BLAST! Okay, well I don’t have enough energy for full “blast” status right now… how about a hoot? Yes, I’m having a hoot. July 30 – Cypress – Picnic in Cypress Provincial Park […]

4sharesI’m just scooping this right from John’s blog because he played it a little while ago and I can’t get it out of my head. It’s educational. Very educational. In case you’re unfamiliar with the band, They Might be Giants, you may recognize their song stylings from Tiny Toon Adventures‘ “Particle Man” and “Istanbul (not […]

4sharesAlanah sent this over to me.
