Kill a Trade Unionist?

25 May, 2008 (23:16) | Canada, Rants

<rant>The rhetoric from Libby Davies and the left speaks about how we should boycott a free trade deal with Columbia because of their alleged human rights record.
Of course, as usual, no solutions are presented. Let’s just shut the doors, put on a boycott, continue to lose our competitive edge and devolve into a third world [...]

Upload. Get Famous. Get Paid.

23 May, 2008 (21:22) | Business, Japan, Mobile Technology, Music, New York, Vancouver

Lumiere, one of the world’s finest restaurants, is slated to close soon and undergo a major transformation. Part of the transformation includes the installation of a DB Bistro Moderne which will open up next door in the space formerly occupied by Feenie’s. In the meantime, under the watchful eye of Chef de Cuisine Dale McKay [...]

Infamous Magazine – March 2008

22 May, 2008 (11:19) | Dignitaries, Sightings, Vancouver

March 2008, a good month for Infamous. The colourful cover helped it fly off the shelves and the content was well worth it.

A look at the new Yew in the Four Seasons, great wines, Naked and Famous Jeans, and way more. I even got two full pages for the Social Shot this month.

Save the Sculptures!

20 May, 2008 (08:31) | Vancouver

Alright, I admit… the title is a bit  sensationalistic. It appears the powers that be in ‘no fun City’ land (aka Vancouver) need to hear from the public about the sculptures purchased to be legacy pieces during the 2005 – 2007 Vancouver Sculpture Biennale.
More details after the jump including information on today’s public consultation at [...]

Ping’s Cafe

17 May, 2008 (00:42) | Restaurant, Vancouver

Ping’s Cafe (or is it Ping’s Café or maybe Pings Cafe) on Main Street (used to be Confucius Says Restaurant) at 11th in Vancouver recently cracked their doors for the public. From the outside, the property looks dilapidated and vacant…

Inside, it’s a hipster’s dream – a place that serves ‘Yoshoku’ or [...]

Infamous Magazine – February 2008

16 May, 2008 (00:55) | Sightings, Vancouver

February.. February… it’s been a long time since I’ve looked at this issue so this is a long overdue blog posting.

I recall the nights.. going to Plan B’s opening. Going to the Vancouver Art Gallery and meeting Summer Lea – thereafter going to Mysala on Granville and out of the blue, local personality, Papa Guj, [...]
