Just another WordPress.com weblog. July 1, 2007. Who likes public transit? When it comes to public transit, every level of government agrees on one thing. They want YOU to use it. All three levels of Canadian governments, Federal, Provincial and Municipal have an ongoing public media campaign to encourage people to use it. Between them they employ a variety of carrots and sticks to get people on those buses. Here’s a list some of the things that they are doing that I am aware of:. Monopoly. Strong me...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. April 27, 2007. This is my first blog so I may as well introduce myself………… I am a late fourties woman returning to college after about thirty years in the workforce. I am taking a one year web design program at BCIT. Luckily, I’m sitting right next to a recent high-school grad. She seems pretty nice. Yesterday, I survived my first trial-by-fire. I had to take my first little pop-quiz last week. In WORD. Guess who’s never cracked WORD open before? Beg, borrow, grovel!

The Government’s Secret Tax | HotTopics
https://mystressm.wordpress.com/2007/05/13/the-governments-secret-tax
Just another WordPress.com weblog. May 13, 2007. The Government’s Secret Tax. Paying tax makes me mad. There is income tax, property tax, sales tax and services tax. There’s duty tax, estate tax, and tax on tax. But what really makes me annoyed is the secret extra tax that the government squeezes out of us. Each year, the finish line is quietly pushed back a few days. This year, it will arrive sometime in the last week of June just about at the halfway mark of the year. How do they do it? Money needs fiv...

I didn't think I was able to do it (it's a 2.4 kft hill), but we did it anyway. I don't know about the others but I had to push myself (although it might not look it! Lots of focus, just keep going, even strokes, etc. The hardest part was actually the hill before the Golden Gate Bridge. Or Leave a comment. The most scary thing ...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. July 1, 2007. The value of time. I live in the West End. Yesterday the monthly Critical Mass bike ride took place. I watched it for go by for an hour from my 12th story apartment. The Critical Mass bikers completely took over every single lane going both in and out of downtown Vancouver. They went down Georgia Street, and then turned up Denman. I don’t know where they went after that, because I couldn’t see them. But I could see what havoc they were making. Besides the ...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. March 14, 2008. A Honey of an Investment. Yesterday while I was trotting up and down the aisles of my local grocery store doing my weekly shopping, I ran across and astonishing sale. Local honey was on sale for a smoking good price. I couldn’t believe my eyes. But not this year I thought. I loaded my cart up with a couple of years worth of honey supply in preparation to hoard it. I am about to be the envy of tea-drinkers for years to come. Dr Cox-Foster who is in the fa...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. February 18, 2008. Citizen Journalism is the democratization of information dispersal. For a long time, traditional media has been a gatekeeper selecting the ‘newsworthy’ items from the entire world body of events then choosing the few that were deemed important enough for mass exposure. Citizen Journalism has turned this model on its head. Without the physical constraints of printing presses and expensive television equipment, it is now possible for anyone to repor...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. June 18, 2007. Two minutes of Terror. We had our web communications class today. It turns out that web communications isn’t just writing. It’s also about speaking. In front of tons of eyes. Our designated topic was: The Website. Around the room we went. Each student was required to give a brief two minute description of the website that they were working on. How can I possibly survive that long? I avoided eye contact. Shrank in my seat. But inviso-girl was spotted.
