Can I still post here…I want to write but I don’t want anyone to read.

I see London, I see Sam’s Town. Love the new Killer’s Album.

We had a big family wedding this weekend. The weather was great and the venue beautiful. The photographer summed it up best when she said to me that she had rarely attended such a classy wedding that was so down to earth. Pretty much sums up the bride and groom (my cousins). […]

I’ve been on the road a lot (as usual). Not much time to write I guess…but let me say this…I’m glad it’s fall again in Vancouver. Fireplace kicked on this damp Sunday morning. Nice.

The last few days of summer (at least before labour day) have hardly been quiet for me. Work seems to be just getting busier (although in a pretty good way).
Have quite a few links and posts I’ll try and catch up on as I travel this month.
In the meantime…beautiful photos […]

Picked up the latest album from The Hidden Cameras. Great summer tunes.

My Mac inexplicably crashed on the weekend. Thankfully Carbon Copy Cloner saved the day. I had a back up from a couple of weeks ago and was able to boot off the secondary drive. From there I could copy my primary mail, documents and music accounts (about the only thing that changes […]

Who authorized this heat in Vancouver? This is a screenshot of the current weather from my Mac. Crazy.
…oops, Dave tells me this is posting data from Vancouver, […]

I wish I could write more about what being an entrepreneur is like. One day maybe…especially lately with so much going on in our business. I know I’ve been accused many times of being too optimistic, and admittedly the truth is somewhere in between, but for me it always came down to the […]

Ryan got MarsEdit working on my new Word Press blog. Thanks. Carole and Ryan are also new dog parents…saw Edgrrr earlier today and you can see some freakishly cute photos of him here.

Well…after eight years I can finally say goodbye to Gracie. Gracie is my 1979 Mercedes 300D (diesel). It’s been a great car but lately it hasn’t been getting the engine run it needs in the city. I’ve also realized it may be time to get something a bit more modern/practical. Anyways […]

Was able to wander London early this morning with the sun shining brightly. The whole city is abuzz with anticipation of the big game tonight (our flight leaves 30 minutes before game time…I bet they make sure we leave on time).
Made my usual pilgramige to Foyles. I got there before it […]

Almost home after three weeks on the road. Flying into London and roaming around curved endless streets and lanes feels less like travel because this is my second home … I think this in fact may be trip number 30. Anyways Hamburger Union always tastes like home. Solidarity forever.

I feel like I should blog…but never seem to. I guess sometimes it’s because there’s not enough time (or I tell myself that) to write something that I think is worth writing down…a bad excuse - as if feeling I have to do any of this is a good idea.
I’m on the road again…New […]

Tony’s got a great post about one of the things that makes Vancouver great.
“At a certain stop the [bus] driver shut the engine down proclaiming “I’m not driving anymore, you guys are too loud”! Everyone just kind of stared at him. He then smirked and said, “Just kidding, all you kids line up to sit […]

Andrew Sullivan is a regular read of mine. He has some excellent posts lately on a range of issues from Iran to the Simpsons that are worth a look. Today however, it’s his quote for the day I needed…
“Let each one examine his thoughts, and he will find them all occupied with the […]

Don’t Stop - Start
“If you want to change something in your life, it’s common to try to stop the behaviors you don’t like. While this certainly seems logical, it seldom works. The reason is simple - it unintentionally creates a vacuum where the old behaviors used to be. And since nature hates a vacuum it […]

Several years ago a friend of mine pointed me to the work of Jane Jacobs. Since then I’ve had the chance to read most of her books and hear her speak.  I have been moved to a way of thinking about life and living in cities that underlies a lot of how I view […]

Beaver Overthinking Dam (c/o The Onion)

“In the past four months, Messner, 4, has visited hundreds of other dams and drawn up detailed and extensive blueprints. He has researched topics ranging from advanced dome acoustics to the near-extinction of the North American beaver in the early 20th century, and plans to incorporate much of his research […]
