How Soon is Now at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
The Cdn Art World blogosphere filled up with postings for this show over the past couple of weeks.
I for one have had it with shows named after pop songs.

How Soon is …

I read this, which reminds me of this, so I post this, and I get this comment, which makes me think this: “Every time I think I’ve had some brilliant insight and I try to share it, I run into the brick walls of compartmentalized, literal thinking.” And then I get this other comment which [...]
Blogging the Cdn Debate

In alphabetical order -
Harper C Party: I’m not ideological enough to be scared by Harper. More or less I find him uninspiring and disappointing. I think the Conservative strength is in their fiscal policy: I for one am looking forward to opening one of their registered savings accounts in January. But money matters are not [...]
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

Democracy is an open source project. You can quote me on that.
Ok, I will.
Contextualization
31 July 2008 – 3:18 pm
I saw the image in the blog posting, positing the fate of one of the characters. Because we know that the story takes place at a post-apocalyptic time, and thinking this was a leaked shot from an upcoming episode, I imagined the wildflowers were those of British Columbia spring, depicting some time in the far-off [...]

Alpha Beta Gamma
I recently decided that my current website is actually version 5.2, not 4.4. This needs some explaining.
I learned web design through books on the advice of a friend. My first book (Elizabeth Castro’s HTML 4) along with View Source cut-n-paste got me writing my first rudimentary website in 2000. It wasn’t until early [...]
Yonge St.

Sometime within the next thirty years, the area of Yonge St incorporating Sam the Record Man, Dundas Square, up to Bloor, will be preserved in all its classless glory as a heritage district of late 20th Century.
The Contempoary
10 May 2008 – 10:39 am
I just found this laying around the hard-drive. It’s something I wrote at the beginning of February, meant as a reply posting on a web-forum before I abandoned it as too long and potentially off-topic. I also read it now and think it dates me as a 30-something pre-Millennial with 20th Century memories. I’m not [...]
Marni Soupcoff’s Provocation
19 April 2008 – 7:06 pm
Marni Soupcoff called for the elimination of the artist grant system earlier this week and there’s been an expected response.
There are two types of artist I know: those who love the council-system and those who dislike it for encouraging ’safe’ work.
I’m of the latter sort. My feelings are that the council system is made up [...]
Comment: On a Coalition Government
A Coalition Government
On the weekend I downloaded the results available at Elections Canada and did some number crunching. Thanks to the miracle of the spreadsheet, this was something that only took about a half-hour to do. The numbers remind us that the Conservatives only got 10.4 million votes, while the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc [...]
