In the late 1970s I was a student of Robert Jacobsen’s and made modernist sculptures out of packing cardboard. Earlier this week I came across note cards and photos from that time, which prompts me to ask, “has much changed in art?”
Last week, while attending a professional / academic conference in Toronto, Vancouver-based academic and “social media power user” Raul Pacheco-Vega posted a blog entry called The future of my personal blog. He noted: I am in awe of the depth of knowledge and caliber of colleagues I am sitting with, and I am honored to […]
It’s a mystery. Something that wasn’t, started working again. Sometime in the early months of 2006, my iBook finally completely and utterly fritzed on me: the hard drive died.

As some of my readers know, I’m a co-founder of a Victoria-based venture called MetroCascade, which aims to evolve into a go-to site for news, events, and information about Victoria BC.
