Hey folks: Be careful out there tonight. I bought a razor blade and it had a Snickers in it.

Photo of a hand holding a shaving razor with a Snickers candy bar very poorly Photoshopped onto it.

It didn't register that it was filmed in Vancouver until there was a scene shot behind where I was working. It was an "I recognize that alley!" moment.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

Danger Mango threatened to take over Canada by military or economic force. People are calling the latest blast from the White House a tantrum I don't think so. When will we admit that the US is waging economic war on us?

My sister had a starter house with a pink bathroom. Pink walls, pink tile, pink tub, and the only (thankfully) pink toilet I've every seen.
I suspect the bathroom was why the the house was in the starter price range.

History is a narrative. Who gets to tell it sets the scene. But with luck, the whole story gets told.

I thought I knew the bloody saga of Frog Lake. Then I learned another side of the story

A deadly encounter in 1885, between Cree warriors and settlers in Alberta, is part of my heritage. But a recent discovery has cast the events in a new light

I love the intricate geometry in this style. Ruler and compass is a little too ambitious for me, but I tried replicating a rosette window with the circle/arc function in Inkscape.

I'm disturbed by how logical this sounds...

It's exhausting. Even from here in Canada!

I learned lots from this run. Most important, if you're going to file the plate edges smooth, don't do it where you'll be printing! The little plastic bits get everywhere.
