Whale Tale From False Creek

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 5, 2010

Vancouverites got a rare treat today as a gray whale made its way up False Creek and hung out around Science World for a while today.

There were reports of a gray whale feeding in other places along the coast yesterday as well, but according to news sources, this is probably the first time in 100 years a gray whale has come up False Creek. It was literally right downtown.

Th*ink*ing Green

Posted by Cynical Sarah on April 9, 2010

Last time I bought ink for our printer, it wasn’t more than a few months and I started to get low-ink warnings every time I tried to print something. I knew it had to be some sort of error since I don’t actually use the printer very often, so I ignored it.

I’ve been ignoring it for probably four months now. I did buy a new cartridge a couple weeks ago because I needed to print some resumes, but I still haven’t actually put the new cartridge in. I figure, it’s not out until I actually get a page that looks like the ink is low instead of the computer telling me it’s low.

Posted by Cynical Sarah on April 1, 2010

This week President Barack Obama announced his administrations “comprehensive strategy for energy security.” Part of the plan: expanding oil and natural gas development and exploration of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.

If it had been April 1, I would have assumed the announcement was part of some elaborate April Fools joke.

With a gold medal in men’s curling, Canada sits with 13 gold medals for the 2010 Winter Olympics. That’s the most of all the participating countries this year and a tie for the Olympic Record for golds in one year.

Heavyweight Action Online Between Silent Bob, SWA

Posted by Cynical Sarah on February 15, 2010

Behold the power of the Internet. (And anyone out there heading up a company/corporation/business of any kind may want to take note of just how powerful it is.) In a matter of two days, Kevin Smith has used Twitter, his blog and Smodcast to vilify Southwest Airlines, and it’s getting him some results.

Torch Lights It Up At City Hall

Posted by Cynical Sarah on February 11, 2010

The Olympic flame is spending a couple days winding it’s way around Vancouver. I missed seeing it in my own neighborhood this morning because I had plans to go to lunch with a friend. As it turns out though, the route later in the day was going near where we had lunch.
