Pictures. I Haz Some.

  • Posted on February 4, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Yes, indeed. I do have pictures. Like this one, of the Robson Square Ice Rink: It’s pretty cool, actually. Despite appearances, it is outside and has this nifty kind of dome over it that changes color with the lights underneath.…

  • Posted on February 4, 2012February 4, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Evernote is kind of like my Neil Peart journal, it seems. I don’t jot things down in a physical journal anymore. I create notes in Evernote. So here are notes from the bus: So here I am, on the 25…

  • by Gwynne Monahan

Noticing a trend yet? I’m a big Evernote fan. And while I’m stuck in the data roaming black hole, I’ve come to rely on it even more heavily. So here’s what I jotted down while waiting to board the flight…

Look Good and Sound Happy

  • Posted on February 1, 2012February 5, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

  • by Gwynne Monahan

Being accustomed to the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA, I arrived at the Vancouver airport way too early. Like, way way too early. On Sunday. I was through security in the blink of an eye. So I pulled…

“It’s normal for the first month or two.”

  • Posted on January 25, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Being tired, all the time, that is. Apparently it has something to do with weather and/or elevation and/or time change, but when people first move here they are tired all the time. I thought it was just the time change.…

  • Posted on January 23, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

I’d be remiss if I didn’t pause for a moment and wish all community managers a Happy Community Manager Appreciation Day! Community management may be the latest “hot” job, but it is not a new one. It’s been around pretty…

  • Posted on January 22, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Another to add to Words for Things. I’ve joined a recreational league basketball team that starts the end of February. Yesterday, at the Bonsor Community Center, there was an opportunity to meetup, shoot around and play pickup games. What is…

  • by Gwynne Monahan

When I lived in Chicago, in the city, I took public transportation everywhere I could. It was awesome when I lived and worked in the city. Catch the Brown, Red or Purple Line to the Loop. In about 20 minutes,…

Mother Nature Does What She Wants in #Vancouver

  • Posted on January 20, 2012February 5, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Guess I have a bit of a fascination with weather. My mother loves to study weather, and she’s been keeping a close eye on systems on this western side of the continent. Mother Nature, however, does what she wants. At…
