And I’m typing on my laptop, which is tethered to my iPhone! All praise Steve Jobs! I was pretty happy to have gotten on this 5 p.m. ferry, since the workshop I was at in downtown Victoria ended at 4 p.m. and I wasn’t sure I’d make it to Swartz Bay in time for the […] →Read more
A little while ago, I noticed this sign on the ferry, which I found to be pretty humourous: I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed the problem of a sign about hand brakes having a picture of a foot on it, because on the ferry yesterday I noticed they’d replaced all those signs […] →Read more

I received this event invite and thought I’d share it with y’all. It sounds like it will be an interesting talk (and I know most of the “experts” and they are pretty awesome). Please join us for a CIHR Café Scientifique Let’s Talk about Marijuana and Teens Why do more youth in British Columbia use […] →Read more
So, I go into Save On Foods ((a grocery store we have here in BC)) and they have this little kiosk thing that says that if you swipe your “Save On More” card ((it’s their discount card they use so they can Big Brother your shopping)) they will print out your very own “personalized” coupons […] →Read more
