Each of these makes me grin to look at them. Partly because of what’s there, and what he chose to remove. (Pacific Centre? What Pacific Centre?)

Loving this beautiful poster of my city by local illustrator/cartoonist Edward Juan. Also, I love finding out about new talent in town!

This is what I saw when I walked out of my local Safeway at 11:30 pm tonight. (Taken with Instagram at Safeway)

Via nonprofit-design. I quite like this, wise and clever Acquia people. And I’d love it even more if it would fit neatly on one or two letter-sized sheets of paper, ready to be dropped in the “Why Drupal?” section of my next RFP response.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking what we do online isn’t real, and doesn’t matter. And it doesn’t help that we’ve developed the acronym IRL, In Real Life, to refer to the offline world. 

But why shouldn’t we regard our online lives as just as real, just as valid and just as meaningful as our offline ones? That’s the question Alex posed a few months ago at TEDx Victoria, proceeding from a blog post she wrote last year for the Harvard Business Review.

The talk, titled “Ten Reasons to Stop Apologizing for your Online Life”, just went live. And if you’ve ever wondered why a valued online friendship doesn’t count as “the real world” while a trip to the mall does - and, more to the point, what you can do about it - you’ll want to watch.
