The move
November 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments
A bit silent round parts these past couple weeks with our impending apartment move. Work had been non-stop (in a good way) all the way up to this week — so now I’m cramming a lot into 5 days. Between address changes, picking up boxes, shuttling and errands around the city — it’s a whirlwind […]

The Recycle Logo
November 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment
Interesting story of the creation of one of the predominant symbols of our time — which is only now gaining it’s true foothold in western culture. “The figure was designed as a Mobius strip to symbolize continuity within a finite entity.

The future of cold water surfing is here. Heated suits and surf tourism to the great white regions will become huge in the next 10 years. Looking at these shots of Norway, NS and BC – Was there ever any question?

Calexico last night
November 18th, 2008 · Comments Off on Calexico last night
Finally got to see Calexico play last night (@ Le National in MTL) with Linda. Excellent show at a fitting venue — waiting for them to post the set-list so I can figure out what the third song was (a very Dick Dale / 50’s surf music tune). Something about those horns and very good […]

Cut and Paste Ceramics
November 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment
As some of you know, there was a time in my life when I made a whole lot of pottery (mainly earthen and stoneware thrown on a wheel). I saw this and it blew my mind… Each item here has been individually thrown (in at least 2 parts), trimmed, and then cut apart and reassembled […]
