Education-based barcamp
Tara Hunt is organizing a barcamp focused on education this August in Vancouver.
You should be there. I’m definitely going to try to be there. (It’ll be easier if they tell me ASAP when exactly when it’s going to be!)
BTW, nice new site design, Tara.
4 straight losses for the Vancouver Canucks
It’s Friday night and I’m surfing around while listening to the Canucks-Wild game on the Team 1040. The Canucks are just about to lose their fourth in a row and doubt is growing in Vancouver that they’ll make the playoffs.
I have to say it’s very, very unrewarding to be a Vancouver fan - it’s almost enough to put someone off of hockey.
The problems?
- Can’t score
- Can’t keep the puck out of their own net
- Not tough enough
- Not big enough
- Not enough heart
It has not been pretty lately.
. . .

BTW, I’ve joined a 3-on -3 league at the Abbotsford Training Rink, a half-size rink. I haven’t had this much fun playing hockey for years … it’s all offence, offence, offence.
