You know of a nice, 2 bedroom suite/apartment in Vancouver that’s available for August 1. West of Commercial Drive would be great. Close to good public transit is helpful too. evan@evanduggan.com

Is anonymity dead?

June 23, 2011

Fascinating topic and a great read in The Tyee about social media, the Vancouver riot and mass disclosure. Orwell’s telescreens from 1984 really have become a part of our world. How prophetic.

His wife wanders into the kitchen a little later. They chat, discussing their much-needed home renovations that keep getting put off. At 8 [...]

Celebration and joy in the streets following a death — an execution — of any person, no matter the circumstances, confuses sensations and dampens the spirit.

A worthwhile read

April 14, 2011

If you feel like reading something — anything — other than the mostly bullshit federal election coverage. Check out “Notes from Newfoundland” in the latest edition of The Walrus.
