Today I went to the mefloquine town hall in Edmonton. I was fortunate to see several of the people I’ve worked with through social media on the mefloquine issue and it was extremely gratifying to see how much traction this movement has really gained in just a few short years. As has been reported in […]
Today I learned that one of my favourite boutiques in town is going out of business, which is a damned shame; its funky and elegant and the prices are reasonable and everything is more or less luxury fair trade. Apparently she has to close because she is tired, and I can understand that, but I […]
Last fall while I was staying at Magdalene House and playing Magic with Holden, the Great Satan and I were discussing the issue of extremism in Canadian youths, and how that might best be addressed. The concept that he and I eventually hammered out basically relied on the phrase “We are Legion” used by Anonymous, […]
Let’s start with international things first shall we? First, the Paris climate summit has just ended, with the various media outlets declaring it either a success or a failure.

There’s not realistically much I can do today to change my circumstances, so I figure its best not to dwell on them. The last few days and weeks in particular have been really quite […]

A 49er was a person selected to help process the dead for the showers for the most efficient turnover, and they were known as 49ers because that was roughly how long […]
I play several fashion design simulator games. If you don’t know how that works, it is like being a dressmaker. You can often compete in fashion shows, and like any other game, you use tokens. I have the idea of taking this another step further. Basically, a shopping and design simulator using fair trade products […]
The Great Satan once showed me an interesting series of videos on a phenomenon called Like Farming, which is… there are really organizations where people live in prison-like conditions and all they do is click “like” on things to ensure that it is trending. I have been really trying to pull myself out of the […]
