Poverty Olympics Torchbearers Wanted
January 31, 2010
The Poverty Olympics are an annual event in Vancouver that leverages the media and public attention paid to the Olympics to draw attention to the ongoing, systemic problems of the inner city environment of the Downtown Eastside. The picture of Vancouver that outsiders have is often skewed, and the Poverty Olympics organizers seek to generate […]
Homelessness is OVER!
November 26, 2009
Wow, congratulations, Vancouver! This is an amazing accomplishment and Mayor Gregor, City Hall, NGO’s, and government officials should be incredibly proud of themselves. I can’t even imagine how fantastic it must feel to know, unequivocally, that you’ve changed the world for the better, perhaps even saved lives. From the official Homelessness is Over press release, […]
Coworking is Copacetic
October 1, 2009
You may have read the sad tale of the demise of Workspace, the devastatingly gorgeous, open-plan coworking space which effectively functioned as the clubhouse of the Gastown tech community (well, that and the Irish Heather). And as we all know, the Network Hub is full (although Raul says if you’re serious, contact him directly) and […]

Vancouver Changecamp June 20
June 2, 2009
I initially volunteered to help with Changecamp, but warned them at the beginning I wouldn’t be able to help pull it off in May, and the way May turned out I had no chance to help out when they switched it to June, either. So the least I can do is post this, eh? VanChangeCamp […]
Shebeen Club June 15 Independent Publishing: Fab or Folly?
June 1, 2009
Since from day to day it looks like I will/won’t be in town for the Shebeen Club meeting on June the 15th, I’ve asked Ian Alexander Martin to take over in my stead. Naturally, should I be in town on the evening in question, I’ll expect him to give up the scepter of leadership but […]
Green Inner-City Cluster Kickoff
June 1, 2009
I’m sitting at Workspace looking out over Crab Park (the green space formerly known as Portside Park, if only to bureaucrats at City Hall who just couldn’t give up control long enough to use the name people had been using for it for ten years) thinking that the much-ballyhoo’d Carrall Street Greenway consists primarily of […]
