Re: Finding Home: The Odyssey

What a great piece, a great story! I was following you into some of these places and laughing out loud about what you saw. Homeric, indeed. And was surprised and delighted you ended up in the West End, where I've lived two separate times and would go back there again in a heartbeat. Enjoyed reading this as I'm thinking of moving back to Vancouver from the Gulf Islands, where I've been for 10 years! It sounds like a gong show finding a place, but you did it! Gives me hope!

Re: unhip squirrel: lyonnaise salad for one

Hi Unhip ... Your dressing is spot on. I would even add half as much Dijon, as that is what really comes across in the bouchons of Lyon. But what a beautiful salad! So brilliant with the bacon, egg and onion! So refreshing to eat a salad this rich and not dumbed down with some cheese. Keep up the good work!

Re: Food for Thought: On Trading Cory

Yes, it's interesting to have these kinds of problems in the pre-season, isn't it? Tons of depth and upside. And it makes trades that much more tantalizing, knowing that the Canucks could conceivably get even better by trading Schneider with a scoring forward, for e.g. in return. I'd love it if we could find a way to keep Schneider, but it would probably be to his benefit to trade him somewhere where he truly had a chance to crack the line-up more than he might here.

Thanks for the great post, Richard!

Re: A Code of Ethics for Bloggers and Social Media

David Morton — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:27:07 -0000

As a relatively new blogger, I can say this issue of integrity in blogging has been coming up for me a lot. I have to say that truthfulness and accuracy are important to me as they affect the credibility and integrity of my blog ... but being a newbie, I'm always expecting someone to tap me on the shoulder (so to speak) and say, you shouldn't say that (my old man still speaks to me!)

The code of ethics for bloggers is a welcome development, and it fills in the background for me, as I strike out into this bold new world of blogging. Nice work, and thanks for this thoughful piece!

Cheers, David.

Great to see @Bradinator in action at the wine festival ... whose wine-sopped tweets I have enjoyed for some time. And happy to discover the wider world of wine enthusiasts on twitter!

This is a beautiful picture ... chilling ... and brings back memories of my own visit there years ago!

Great idea to tag your daughter. I miss mine, too! Her photos are amazing!

I'm really, really jealous. It's frickin' freezing here and rainy. One piece of advice: stick with the beer, Duane. Those mojitos and mai tais will make you even more hung over.

Exactly, Dave. What does it mean! And great music score!

Re: My heartfelt epic blog post about Steve Jobs (Scripting News)

David Morton — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:45:55 -0000

Another quality of an epic is that it usually starts in the middle of the story (in media res) moves back to the beginning, then moves past the middle on to the end. The Oddysey, Paradise Lost, etc. With this post, there is only NOW! Haha! I love it, Dave.

Re: Happy Birthday Rebecca Bollwitt

I saw Rebecca's tweet about this and thought to check it out. Very moving and a lovely tribute to a good friend. Nor do I know Rebecca, but she is blessed to have you as a friend. Nice post!
