In the Vancouver 24 Hours News Today
Today in the Vancouver 24 Hours newspaper (thanks to Buzz Bishop), I have a small, but yet exciting, blurb in the Technology section mentioning my blog post about “Getting Elfed“.
As this is my very first time I have been named in a newspaper of any sort (minus the time I was 7 years old and appeared on the cover a Newsweek during a Fort York exercision). I’m prould to have been mentioned and I’m happy to be apart of a great on line community here in Vancouver.
Hopefully this won’t get to my head and cause me to have blogebrity issues, but it is fun and exciting for me.

In my 8 years that I’ve lived in Vancouver I had yet to visit VanDusen Botanical Gardens. I had always wanted to get my camera and walk around the 55 acres and just go crazy, but never just got off my butt and just went. It’s interesting to note that the lands was the Shaughnessy [...]

Yes folks, the MO is now 27 days old. 27 days of growing facial hair from scratch (ignore the fact that I had a goatee and shaved it all off).

Alas [...]

Yesterday I read an article on the 24 Hour Vancouver website on how the Parade of Lost Souls is canceled for this year. It seems that the BC Government’s recent cuts to the arts was the main reason behind Public Dream Society’s decision to suspend the parade this year.
Parade of the Lost souls is a [...]
