This theme brings new stuff.

Published by

So this is my new theme for now. It brings some new features. 1. Post navigation items at the top of the page 2. Click comments, it’s the green thing with the thumbs up and thumbs down. Tell me if you like or hate the post, it’s as easy as a click. It’s mostly for “i want” and “i got” posts. 3. Going forward posts will have Tags. You can find them on the permalink pages only for now. 4. Added lightbox to make pictures look pretty. See the results below. Things that are gone 1. Socializer plugin 2. Direct Category and Archive feeds. They don’t display in the archives anymore. This I want to fix

Swayzak played to a small but appreciative audience at the Mod Club on November 6, 2007. It was really cool to talk to them after the set. I thanked them for the funky beats that had me dancing like a fool.

Canada Collects, A Season of Canada @ the ROM

Published by

The ROM invited me and some other bloggers to see the Canada Collects exhibit which is part of a bigger exhibition called A Season of Canada.. Canada Collects is an exhibition of items on loan from other museums and collectors in Canada. The lead curator, Kenneth Lister took us on a personal tour of the exhibition. I have to admit I love the idea of the curator leading us through the exhibit, he added so much more to the experience. There are some pretty iconic Canadian artifacts in this exhibit The original manuscript of Anne of Green Gables. The landing gear from the Avro Arrow Trudeau’s birchbark Canoe The first Canadian maple leaf flag The first TV, owned by Moses Znaimer One part of the exhibit was extremely moving.

The original building was being demolished and a museum in BC saved them. The poetry as you …
