OK. Who else is getting rocked by allergies this year? I sneezed my way out of bed this morning. # Watching a documentary on Streetohome and homelessness in Vancouver. Recommended! http://bit.ly/kJmva # Does anyone else have constant problems with viddler crashing firefox? #

Requiem for the Hype

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

One of the best blogs in the city documenting the madness of the real estate market, condohype.com, is closing its doors (or “going into foreclosure” as Hype puts it).  Why?  For one very simple and obvious reason; the hype is dead.

Just got interviewed by the CBC for the 6pm news regarding presales and the Beasley. Will I make it or end up on the cutting room floor? #

Need further proof that Vancouver is fun (even in the rain)? How about Junofest? [...]

A-Ha! Those mysterious Expo86 posters floating around town now have an explanation: http://bit.ly/kTxCD # The Provincial Gov’t has decided to ignore the prison debate by now handing it over to the GVRD mayors.

Good, Cheap, or Fast

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

There’s and old adage about service: GOOD service CHEAP won’t be FAST GOOD service FAST won’t be CHEAP FAST service CHEAP won’t be GOOD How very true.  Take almost anything you do, serve, or consume on any day and tell me if you have ever found something that is good, cheap, and fast.  My bets [...]
