From places far away (at least in my mind):
- Guarani tribal chief wins
Beany Baby on eBay, sees first naked white woman in tribal history. Who
thought it’d be a good idea to give these people the Net (thanks, Mirabilis)? - Amazing
360-degree photo from the top of Everest. - The Victorian Internet.
- Stories from Ontario’s
movie theatres (well, it’s remote from here). I’d love to undertake a
project like this in BC. - The US seems pretty remote these days. I’m loving these satirical
campaign t-shirts for Bush/Cheney in 2004.
Ha! Here’s another reference to the “Mattress Line”:

(I think of you every time I read about it.)
Love that Victorian internet contest. Caught sight of it somewhere recently–Boing Boing methinks. Anyhow, great stuff…
Hi Darren,
This has nothing to do with your above post, just wanted to identify myself and say hi. It’s a small digital world. I found your blog via soapboxgirls. My name is Alexis, and I’m Doreen’s daughter. Doreen grew up with your mother in Saskatoon. She still hasn’t seen your blog, but when she does, I’m sure you can expect a comment from her.
I’m really enjoying your blog; it’s turned into one of my daily reads. I’m a poet, fiction writer and journalist, and I’ll be moving to Vancouver in the spring.
Take care,
alexis
