Podcasts and Blogs and Videos, Oh my!

The blog is dead, long live the blog!

If you'll notice, I haven't posted anything in YEARS. However, this will change as I'll use this blog to track my video and podcast updates. Subscribe to the RSS feed to stay on top of everything.

The first podcast episode is up! Download it here: April 13th, 2011
In this episode, I talk about the Portal 2 ARG game and the rumors of hidden announcements. I also dabble into news about Escapecraft, Nintendo, and the 3DS and wrap things up with some quick thoughts on NHL (playoffs are starting today!) and spectator sports in general.
I'll probably be tweaking with the sound quality to make the files smaller and I'll eventually switch over hosting to something that can handle lots of bandwidth.

Last part of the Badwater series is here. I'll be recording something Minecraft-y today :) Looking forward to it?

Really difficult to read street signs

I was listening to the radio on my way to work today and heard that the VANOC committee (that oversees planning and execution of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics) is asking the federal government for 2 million dollars to make all the signs from Richmond to Whistler bilingual.

The radio jockeys were joking around and saying how we need all the signs that say "Olympics" to say "Olympiques" as well. It was mutually understood by all that French is a major component of Canadian heritage, even if Mandarin and Hindi speakers outnumber the Quebecois in BC a billion to one. The DJs joked that, if French is required to be on the signs, then we might as well add Chinese and Sanskrit as well to be fair to all.

Funny as it may be, I can almost imagine these signs popping up here and there all over Vancouver (and, in fact, there is lots of these signs already, like in Indiatown or Chinatown). If fully implemented, it would be the epitome of Canada's propensity of being a cultural mosaic. It would also demonstrate how silly the whole thing can be :p
