Starting a long post with a long quote, bad form Andy, bad form. It’s one of those “Andy’s been thinking again” posts anyway, so you’ve been warned. It’s a great quote though. In those day’s, Pilade’s was a free port, a galactic tavern where alien invaders from the Ophiulco could rub elbows peaceably with the …
There’s a little cafe right down the street from my new location in San Francisco. Well, it’s also a laundromat. And sort of a pub. It’s called Brain Wash. They have a website, you can watch live feeds of people doing laundry. Anyway, it’s a little bit of a hip hangout, and I guess at …
It has been four days since I got back to San Jose, only four days, and already I’m about to implode. In these ninety-six hours, I have accessed the internet twice outside of a coffee shop, once at Chris Whipple’s place (an apartment prospect) and once at an old office I once worked at in …
From Darren Barefoot: I’m doing the 30-Hour Famine. The 30-Hour Famine is a program run by World Vision Canada, an NGO that fights hunger in the developing world. For 30 hours on April 1st and 2nd, I won’t eat, as a kind of symbolic gesture of support for the 800 million malnourished and starving people …

Now that was a party. The concept? Celebrate Robert Burns Day and the Chinese New Year at the same time. How? Haggis. Sweet, merciful bags o’ haggis. The official site for the event but I think the pictures tell the story best. My personal set on Flickr. I am very much wearing a kilt next …

Of the selection of restaurants, only one is in the Gastown area: Wild Rice. The boys and girls of Bryght and Sxip are joining together for a …
Twice, now, I have walked across the Granville Street Bridge here in Vancouver. The first out of necessity, this second out of desire. My first journey across the bridge was during the first month I was in Vancouver, after a concert that I went to with Ben. Due to some unfortunate mix-ups, misunderstandings and miscommunications, …
Tonight, I purchased magnetic poetry to bring meaning to my life. The next hours, I’m sure, will be spent tearing little magnets one from another and retrieving the fallen from the floor as I ponder the deeper meanings of “Kafkaesque.” The inane drivel I shall conquer with the help of both the Genius and Artist …
(Podcasting | The Long Tail): Neat idea, clever name, I’m glad somebody talked about it, but don’t you just have to sit back and laugh as hundreds of grown men and women go bonzo over it? These are concepts that teenagers (or maybe 20something geeks on a budget) have taken for granted for a long …
