Yesterday I went with my friends Rachel and Peter on a top secret mission to Manning Park. Manning is a provincial park located about 3 hours east of Vancouver ((You may recall it as the place that we shipped all the snow in from for the Olympics.)). After our top secret mission, Peter continued on […]
There was a public memorial for Derek today at the Granville Island Stage. It was beautiful and touching, with people from all aspects of his life saying a few words, talking about what Derek meant to them, telling stories of what they remember, and his band played. Some member of The Odds, who Derek knew, […]
How, exactly, did the weekend go by so fast? I fully expected this weekend to be low key and then, somehow, it got super busy! Hence, I’m writing my first blog posting of the weekend at 11 pm on Sunday night! So, a quick recap: Friday night – went out with Kalev, who is in […]
Like so many people, today I am mourning the loss of Derek K. Miller. Derek passed away from cancer yesterday and, at his request, his final blog posting was published by his family and friends after his death. I mentioned Derek here on my blog a little while ago when I wrote about going to […]
Yesterday at work I received a package in the mail. A package that was made of awesome. I can’t actually tell you what was in said package, but rest assured it was supercalifragilisticexpialawesome. You’ll find out in due course and then you will go, “Fucksocks, that’s awesome!” Mark my words. Then I arrived home from […]
So I was driving to brunch today and as I flipped the radio station over to CBC, who should happen to be on the air, but my friend Erika, who was being interviewed on Quirks & Quarks about her rock star paper in Science! You can listen to the show here – she’s the second […]
Today, my friend Erika’s paper, based on her PhD research, was published in the prestigious journal Science! This is the front page of Science’s website today. That red arrow shows you where the story on Erika’s paper resides! You may remember Erika from such blog postings as her wedding and several 12Bars of Christmas. But […]
So Kimli has been blogging for 10 years! 10 years!!! OMGWTFBBQ!! Haven’t ready Kimli’sblog yet? You should. As her tagline suggests, it’s full of unapologetic inappropriateness. Which, of course, is the best kind of inappropriateness! It’s only her 10th blogiversary for 45 more minutes, so you should go there posthaste!! And then go there again, […]
I’ve been something of a delinquent nerd today, in that I was not eating pie at 1:59:26 p.m. in honour of Pi Day/minute/second ((for my less nerdy friends who are wondering what the hell, I’m talking about – check out Pi Day)). To make it up to the universe, I took this picture: It’s Pi […]
I remember going to my first Northern Voice conference. At the time I knew almost no one in the Vancouver blog scene and I remember, like it were yesterday, that Darren asked the whole crowd to yell “Hi Derek!” while he videotaped it because, apparently, someone named Derek was unable to attend that year’s Northern […]
