The Point: October 2006
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 21, 2006. Did you GuluWalk in your town? Actually made a short silent film around these birds). Well, this morning on my bicycle, I saw a tag that just said TALK. And at first I was almost taken aback, thinking Talk? We need to be listening here first. On Further Reflection though, I have begun to wonder, why not talk? There are many things we need to listen to, and many times we need to speak. And to dream, and to hope, and to provoke and to unite. Let's talk. Si halba español,. Hey, r...

The Point: Officially on break
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2008/12/officially-on-break.html
Monday, December 01, 2008. The International Development Studies department's conference this February on Food Sovereignty and the Changing Face of Agriculture. The abundant possibilities of human connection still compel me in so many directions. I just don't think I'll be able to explore them on here for a while. Same goes for The Subject Tonight. It has been a great pleasure speaking with you all here, and I hope to get the opportunity to do so again before long. Posted by Christopher at 10:27 PM.

The Point: Primed
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2008/05/primed.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Admit it. You've been wondering what this sub-prime mortgage crisis thing is really all about. I have too - in fact, I've been looking for a new place myself, and was kind of wondering. how does this affect me? Fortunately, Ira Glass and the rest of the crew at This American Life have summed it up in less than an hour: it's all about a giant pool of money. You can listen to the program here.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Reason enough to watch the games? Tip of the hat to thesecretfee. So, after having gone through all the trouble to reason out whether to watch the opening ceremonies for this year's Olympics or not, I slept through them, and woke up just in time to see the end of the athletes' march. And then I missed the repeats. Twice. It just wasn't meant to be. And it is all a show, of course. did anyone else read this headline? 77 applications, no protests at Beijing Games. A blog about b...

The Point: Triumph!
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2008/09/triumph.html
Thursday, September 11, 2008. Cowing to immense pressure from this blog, of course, Harper and Layton have relented. And decided they would probably be sort of okay with going to the debate if Elizabeth May is there too as long as, you know, everybody knows they're not happy about it. Further bulletins as warrant. Posted by Christopher at 4:44 PM. Erany chance of a new post. sept 11 was a loong time ago. At Tuesday, November 04, 2008 10:36:00 PM. View my complete profile. It has to be said. Thats hot.

The Point: Where We Are
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2009/02/where-we-are.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Hi guys, thanks for continuing to stop by. I'm not back yet, but here's the official state of the union from Chris these days. So I live with these two amazing friends of mine, Kate and Thalia. Kate used to be my editor at Arthur. You may have seen my post. About the incredible special on radio show and podcast This American Life. On NPR. And three times a week now, they blow my mind. And Kate's, incidentally. Has already been brought up, as has Cheddah. And besides that, my l...

The Point: September 2006
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 27, 2006. ID YOU KNOW THAT I PAINT SOMETIMES? I've started trying to learn Persian, a heady task on top of Mandarin and bits and pieces of other things. There is an intoxication to learning a new language, especially when your conduits to it are passionate and fierce about the culture and the wisdom that come with it. I love the conventions of Persian I've picked up so far. like. Heart or belly. it's sweet, it's sincere, you have. You have a tummyache, you have. I'm only halfway thro...

The Point: Storming Google
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2009/07/storming-google.html
Friday, July 24, 2009. I know I've been absent for a long time, yadda yadda yadda. This is just too cool not to share. A user-created Google map. Of the storm that ripped through Edmonton last weekend. With different icons for downed-trees, the CN Tower damage, and even flipped semis (! I've had people mention that our neighbourhood was hit worse than others (and we did lose a tree). This map definitely shows a lot of wind damage in Mill Creek area. Crazy.

The Point: July 2006
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 25, 2006. Protesters outside Corbett Hall, 22 July 2006. Accusations of Israeli soldiers using Palestinian civilians as human shields during incursions in Gaza, Human Rights Watch has published a report. Condemning the use of cluster bombs in Israeli army attacks in Lebanon, and the United Nations has warned both Hezbollah and Israel may be guilty of war crimes. This is not how peace goes forward. Posted by Christopher at 4:42 PM link. Wednesday, July 19, 2006. And how, and how much. Hezbol...

The Point: June 2006
http://thepoint-lepoint.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 29, 2006. On the off chance of wanderers, I would like to tell you about international bubbling this Sunday at 3.00 in Vancouver, Montréal, Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Philadelphia, all local time. You should go. Grazie, S. Liu: http:/ sliu.blogspot.com/2006 06 16 sliu archive.html. And now, I have to say the following is long overdue. Radio Canada. This morning reported that.
