Shazam tracks I liked. It’s more interesting knowing where I liked them, which Shazam stores on the phone but which I can’t (yet?) plot on a map.

From a Merlin Mann meme I found out about late, like every other meme.

King Just - Warrior’s Drum

Featuring rappers in 90s hockey jerseys.

(via Pete)

Yes! Added to my list of music videos by rappers wearing hockey jerseys. I spotted jerseys of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, and New Jersey Devils. Did I miss any?

(YouTube Copyright law sure makes it hard for me to continue my important work of curating the music videos by rappers wearing hockey jerseys.)

No Cellos in the subway:
When I got off the Skytrain at Waterfront there was a very nice Cello sound coming through the tunnel. It may not have been the best performance, but it was a nice addition to the afternoon rush. A moment after I passed the gentlemen in blue came by to put an end to things. I guess the kid was a little too deep into the station. As I was putting my camera away one of them came by to question me. It turns out that photos in the transit system are frowned upon with the Olympics on the way.

I don’t care about skiing or snowboarding (real men snowshoe), and don’t care about Helvetica the documentary or the typeface. I’m white, though, so I still probably want this.

White people of Vancouver, your official uniform of winter has been found!

I <3 this shirt!
I nearly forgot about snowboard season (aka the one thing that stops SAD from completely taking over during the winter months).

Last colours of autumn: 

My friend Kai was in town for two weeks so I knew I had to take the opportunity to include her in my portrait series. We both have red coats, so I decided to photograph her with my red umbrella and a Japanese Maple tree for maximum red.
&#8220;Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.&#8221;
&#8220;Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage.&#8221;

New York has the High Line and San Francisco is going to get the Bay Line – both abandoned rail lines turned into public parks. Now Chicago is looking to do the same with the Bloomingdale Rail Line, a 3 mile section of elevated train track running east and west into the heart of downtown.
(more at Inhabitat)

I can’t wait for Vancouver to follow suit and turn the Arbutus Corridor into a public park.

SF and NYC actually have decent transit already though. Wouldn’t it make so much more sense to put light-rail down the Arbutus corridor instead. Westsiders already got all the parks.

Disagree. If Vancouver were truly envious of those cities, since NYC and San Francisco have done it, and Chicago&#8217;s doing it, so should Vancouver.
