Flickr has just added a new Map feature to their awesome photo-sharing application. So now I’ve gotta go and geotag all my photos. As if I didn’t have enough things to do 🙂

You may have noticed the theme has changed… I’m experimenting with the K2 template for WordPress. Let me know if I’ve broken anything.

For some time, I’ve been peripherally aware of an individual by the name of Ze Frank and his video podcast, “the show“. Having now watched a few episodes, I’m pretty much hooked. It’s “The Daily Show” meets “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” meets “Max Hedroom”. Ze’s sarcastic, fast-talking, no-rules riffing is by turns hilarious and insightful.…

I was tired of the Flickr badge breaking validation on my site, so I got rid of it. In it’s place, I’ve installed a WordPress plugin to do the job. Say hello to FAlbum! Not only does it display a random selection of my photos, when you click on the thumbnail it displays the larger…

Jay Dunphy and the Religion is playing with The Shine On from Vancouver this Saturday at Steamers. Doors at 9 pm, cover is $5. Great poster by Brandon of Metropol.

I’ve never been able to draw to save my life. I can’t complain too much, I’ve got other talents, but yesterday I had a great idea for a cartoon, à la The Far Side. Perhaps someone else can do something with this. Scene: Two Native Americans, a man and a woman, stand in front of…

Here’s an expression that needs to die: “It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread!” I can think of a million inventions that are better than sliced bread. Say, for example, toilet paper. Whatever people were doing before toilet paper was invented, I can pretty much guarantee it was worse than slicing bread.

If you haven’t checked out the new Neko Case album, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, I highly recommend you do so. This is her fourth solo studio album, though you may also know her from her work with The New Pornographers. I picked this up on the recommendation of an email from Amazon.ca, despite not…

Well, I promised a final update about the tour, but I don’t really have much else to say. We made it there and back, the van never broke down, nothing got stolen, only one show got cancelled (and even then it wasn’t really cancelled). Parts of the tour were somewhat trying, but I guess that’s…

Well, it’s done. We played our final show last night in Vancouver. Today Josh, Allan, Jay and I returned to Victoria, and to our “normal” lives. The tour had its ups and downs, to be sure, but on the whole it was a success. I’d like to write more about it, but I’m pretty much…
