Most graphic designers swear by their Macs. This cute, little video is a tribute to the beautifully designed computer that let's designers make ideas real, on the day the man who designed them has gone.

{Sylvia Koreen photo.} I love a classic Hudson's Bay blanket. Whenever Nick and I are in Edmonton and visiting his dad or my parents, I'm envious of their respective blankets. On Saturday, I was on Facebook and saw that Sylvia, Nick's dad's partner, had painted their hallway inspired by the blanket! I think it looks …
feeling autumnal.
{Ginger tea in a tea pot taken from the trailer on Denman Island aka, the best tea pot ever, and yummy ginger tea.} Though autumn signals impending gloom, I think it's my favourite season! (I can't believe I just admitted that, since summer is the usual choice.) Growing up in Edmonton, where you'll miss autumn …
wearing men’s shirts.
I came across this video yesterday (well, Nick sent it to me). I love the idea of wearing men's shirts but since most men aren't anywhere near my height, men's shirts tend to fall below my knees, in a not-so-attractive way. This video shows how to convert a guy's shirt into a dress, a skirt …

I always thought that it was sort of old fashioned to …

{Image via Slut Walk Vancouver.} On Sunday I will be attending Slut Walk Vancouver. If you're uncomfortable with the name, you should be. (I am too -- see below -- and I feel pretty strongly about this!) Slut Walk Vancouver is inspired by and in solidarity with Slut Walk Toronto. SWT was start in response …
reverence.
Nick's sister posted a Facebook status the other day asking for great TED talks. It made me think that I should post my absolute favourite TED talk of all time in my little corner of the web here. Isabel Allende is an amazing woman, even if I've yet to finish one of her books. This …
bravery.
I really enjoy listening to talk programs and so on at work. I feel like it helps me use my brain a lot more and keeps me focused on work so that I'm not tempted by the internet (or my blog!). Today I found this on the CBC News website. Having been about six-years-old when …
