Alternatively, can someone post his blog address here? I can't remember it immediately ...Gilsomething...somethingBrowdy... ah I can't remember that sort of thing! | |

| Radio Free Québec | |
| Good news! The Gouvernement has agreed to increase its funding of TVQ Television and to create a new public radio service, Radio Free Québec. With its new budget and staff, we hope to greatly increase our current broadcast schedule.* Here is a clip from Radio Free Québec's coverage of the Québec election. Both radio and TV services can be accessed at radiofreequebec.com | |

| Some parting thoughts | |
When Pakistan was partitioned from India on the basis of religion (Hindu vs. Muslim), both countries were given little enclaves in the other country where "their" people lived. Some of those enclaves themselves have enclaves, so that to walk a kilometre would mean crossing two, three, or even eight international borders. Click on the map to see the full scale of this sillyness. | |

| The Click Song | |
| Miriam Makeba died today. She was a terrific South African folk singer in the 60s, with hits such as "Click Song" and Pata Pata: and as cheesy as Paul Simon can be, this is a pretty moving rendition of Nkosi Sikeleli Africa with Miriam Makeba and Ladysmith Black Mombaso: | |

| Old School | |
| I've convinced Emerson to let me run an "Improv For Writers" workshop, on the assumption that short story writers in particular can benefit from doing the sort of character- and plot-work that improv scenes require. I'm doing a pilot version over the next two Sundays, with the hope that I can expand it next semester if it goes well. My goal is two spend the first week (two hours) getting people broken into improv basics, and the second week (three hours) focusing more on stuff like the aforementioned character and plot. So, since this ostensibly started as a blog about improv, does anyone have any suggestions on good exercises for complete beginners? | |

| Wikitravel is one of my favourite travel and tourism websites, especially while in Europe. It's a great way to get tips to make your holiday more relaxing or daytrip more fun. I just checked out its entry on Mogadishu; well worth the read for its entertainment value. | |

| Time To Call It, Bryan | |
| So who's it going to be? Buster McMarxist or Methuselah Jones? I am going to continue with my gloomy appraisal of how progressive US voters actually are, and say: Obama 266 McCain 272 Which gives Obama most of the battleground states (including, very charitably I think, Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio), but leaves Pennsylvania and Florida swinging to McCain and pushing him over the edge. To quote Sideshow Bob: "Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king." | |

| Online Publishing Playgrounds in 2008 | |
| I've taken to sharing links and quick posts on my twitter account instead of here. Twitter is a real-time micro-blog network. It lets you write short posts and also watch a feed of messages from people you follow. People can follow your posts without you following them back, making for an interesting usage slope: how much publishing vs reading. Wildly different uses result. This blog remains the place for longer writing. A blog is a simple way of creating permanent public webpages. An important tool in the cyberage. Why do I publish media online? To share information. To entertain. To advertise my business. To advertise causes I believe in. To write the history of my life. To help write the history of humanity. Watch the video The Machine is Us for a powerful visualization. What about Facebook? I am still a fan of Facebook. I find it useful for events, photos, and entertainment. Facebook remains a walled garden, so it doesn't compete with blogs or twitter for real web publishing. It excels as a more private communications infrastructure. One of the speakers at Interesting Vancouver scoffed at Facebook as a community tool. Well, my pictures from the last Vancouver Zombie Flashmob were mostly collectively tagged when I added them to the event page on Facebook. That is community building. | |
