    Chris Brogan, one of my two favourite bloggers (along with Seth Godin) wrote an interesting blog post about a new mobile phone coming on the market, Motorola’s Moto X. Chris writes about the phone in a way that most people can understand. Two pieces of information I really appreciate about the Moto X is the…

  • Elizabeth Rex ROCKS Bard on the Beach

    I am a dedicated fan of the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival and this year’s performance of Elizabeth Rex once again solidifies my support. And you probably also know that I am not an expert on describing theatre in the sense that I really understand how all that fancy theatre language really works other…

  • Bard on the Beach Becomes … Fight Night?

    For one night only, the Vancouver theatre institution known as Bard on the Beach, a theatre company that year after year puts on some of the most fabulous Shakespeare performances is changing direction and becoming a Fight Club.

  • Friday Freebie Compliments of Hartman Leather

    As some of my readers will remember, a couple of months ago, I visited Dave Hartman, the creative leather craftsman who owns Hartman Leather on Granville Island in Vancouver BC.

  • Bard on the Beach Returns to Vanier Park

    It is that time of the year once again, the Bard on the Beach tents and stages are rising up in Vancouver’s Vanier Park once again.

  • Boat Rentals on Granville Island

    When the weather gets hot in Metro Vancouver many people head to the beach. Beaches are great and all, but they get too crowded with sun bathers and the freaks who insist on throwing a frisbee or football around. Add in the muscle men and females without enough clothing and I’m looking for an alternative place to…
