Parsing through my Delicious links this morning I came across two articles that John sent me (yes, I become giddy when I notice my husband tagged something for me in Delicious).
The title of the first bookmark was “Blogs More Relevant Than Ever” and the next one, right on top of that listing was, “Blogs [...]

The Five Things Meme

Taking a break from the municipal and provincial election coverage to engage in some silly entertainment (see last night’s post about sweet, sweet 80s tunes) I’m going to complete my mission after being “tagged” by Tyler Ingram yesterday.
I admit, I have participated and perpetuated many memes before, and for those of you who are not [...]

Last night I probably did the most Twittering I’ve done in a few months while watching and tracking election coverage. The dust has settled this morning (well for some, since our voter turnout was a record low) and while we all try to adjust to our new same minority government, here’s a tasty link fest [...]

My 23rd blogger profile in the series features Stephen Rees - who is much more than a transit and eco-blogger. He’s someone that I would suggest everyone in the region (not just Vancouver) put on their list of regular reads.

September 25th, 2008 by Miss604   1 Comment

After collecting some food donations we have headed up to the far reaches of Lynn Valley to visit our friend Dave [happyfrog][RaincityStudios].
