New Media

I’m a fan of performing arts, but in past years I haven’t checked out the Vancouver Fringe Festival. Work and other commitments came first. But this year, I’ve dived in and am reviewing a bunch of shows for Plank Magazine – Spanking the Ass of Culture, where you can see reviews for every Fringe show happening this week.

Here are some quick links to some of my reviews for shows that I would recommend seeing:

• Oh The Humanity! And Other Good Intentions
• Miracle in Rwanda
• Moving along

Get out to the Fringe festival and see a show. There’s something for everyone. And after, you can always head over to Granville Island Brewery for a taster round (three local beers of your choice). A good time will be had by all.

Just a quick update for my family, friends and colleagues about what I’ve been up to professionally. I know, I run too many blogs. Well, if you’d just start using Google Reader, you could keep up-to-date instantly. That’s assuming you care.

You do care, right? Here goes:

• Time For Writers To Take A Stand
• Someone Needs To Fire Their Media Liaison
• How To Write A Bio For Your Website

By the way, my website copywriting company also just got accredited with the Better Business Bureau of the Lower Mainland. Take that, San Fransisco!

Need someone to write all the content on your new website, or hook you up with some dynamite newsletters or press releases? Look no further. I’m with BBB, baby! Check out all my nifty web copywriting services

Funny, I didn’t even know I was in the running. Looks like I’ve been recognized with an Honorable Mention by the National Magazine Awards for my articles in Granville Magazine’s EcoDensity Special. Congratulations to my fellow honorees!

If you’re curious about what I wrote that deserved this honor, here are the articles that were recognized for extraordinary awesomeness:

• Vancouver: The Greenest City in the West
• Happy city, happy planet
• Vancouver in 2050
