Thanks, people.
Also from last week, Shaintar!
I've been playing role playing games reasonably consistently for the last few months... yay! For Shaintar, I play a young priest called Norwick who recently joined the Grey Rangers so that he may spread the true doctrine of the Church of Light around the world. We were on our way to a remote Gray Ranger … Continue reading Also from last week, Shaintar!

PubSubHubBub, take two
Boinga boinga boinga boinga. Will this get pushed? Will it somehow, magically, appear in Google Buzz? Will it lead to greater understanding and world peace? There is, as always, only one way to find out. PUBLISH!!
Haha, yes!

A Gold In Drinking
Read the article in Time magazine: A Gold In Drinking. Haha, it's so true. The Skytrain car I was in tonight had at least four bottles of booze in various levels of camouflage, and while the cops at Granville Station were dumping drinks, I'd guesstimate they caught no more than a tenth of what people … Continue reading A Gold In Drinking
Mukmuk!
Arr, I've become such a fan of Mukmuk! No mere sidekick, this fourth Olympic mascot (unofficially, perhaps, but he's one in our hearts!) has overthrown Quatchi as my new favourite. And I'm not the only one. Look at the devotion he inspires in others: And while the other mascots are clearly consumer whores... Mukmuk gets … Continue reading Mukmuk!
Jonathan Coulton concert!
YARR!!! On Thursday, we (Gavin, Phoebe, Andy, and I (someone please correct me if my grammar is wrong)) went to see the Jonathan Coulton concert at the Rio in East Van, and it was awesome. Paul and Storm, a comedic music duo, opened, leading off with their song Opening Band. There were loads of audience … Continue reading Jonathan Coulton concert!
Bizzaro World
I just stumbled across this set of pictures from someone trying to sublet their apartment. It is the bizarro-world version of my apartment: same building, exactly the same layout, but completely different setup. Makes me want to experiment with more inventive layouts. (Also, the ad gives the rent as $1500. Just... damn.)
Buzzer Transit News
Transit in Vancouver is bananas. The trains are packed, the buses are bustling, and several major streets in downtown Vancouver has been turned into pedestrian zones. It's pretty amazing. To give you some context, here are some posts from Translink's newsletter, The Buzzer: Crowds on Robson Street Ridership figures from the last week
