I feel I must apoligse for my last 3 posts being exclusively from YouTube. I shall try and be less dumbed down in the future..

This is quite fun, although I advise you to turn off your sound before hitting play...!

Malcolm and Jamie...

The following post contains strong language, expertly used:

Scene. Interior of Malcolm Tucker's office.

Malcolm: He loves Al Jolson

Jamie: The guv'nor

Ollie: Mamee!

Jamie: You take the piss out of Al Jolson again and I will remove your iPod from its tiny nano-sheath and push it up your cock, Then I'll put some speakers up your arse and put it on to shuffle with my fucking fist. Then, every time I hear something that I don't like - which will be every time that something comes on - I will skip to the next track by crushing your balls.

some design stuff about my recent trip

Set out to write an update on the zero-waste blog about my trip and got a bit carried away. Was going to post here too but i think a link would be better in light of its length!

Sadly not going to be many photos from the trip and evry few audio recordings too. Guess I was having too much fun catching up with folk - disappointingly little to report anecdotally unfortunately anyway. Will just say that I'm glad I went, and its hard to go back to work 9-5!

Front page news!

Calgary made front page news today on Guardian Unlimited. For all the wrong reasons...
It's a fair comment, but after being here 9 months and seeing a little of what Calgarians can and are doing in regards to climate change and sustainability issues, I'm a little more optimistic that things wont be as bad as Klein makes out. I may however have just caught the Cowtown bug. Yeehaw!

Urban spread is like no other i've seen in Calgary right now. This is a wonderful collection by the 10 cent designer on flickr that i think describes the spread better than i could ever put into words.
