How many dolphins in this pod?
Here's a twist on the number of jelly beans in the jar guessing game.
This time try to guess the number of dolphins in this glorious pod of stunning, joyful dolphins dancing across the Sea of Cortez. It is a sight to behold! I only wish we had some better...
New Apple ad on CNET web site is shocking, good fun
By now, the 2 actors on Apple's Mac vs. PC television ads are quite famous.
I, probably like a lot of you, get a kick out of "PC" trying to act hip, or accomplish impossible tasks while the younger, calmer "Apple" looks on. The campaign has caught on with its...
Is Twitter the real deal or just a huge, narcissistic, real-time spam engine?

The area near Coal Harbour seems quiet and very nice — just steps from many coffee shops and shopping along Robson Street.
There were two units for sale and I picked up the...

Loreto Bay residents and vacationers can now enjoy a complete, 6,729 yard, 18 hole round of golf.
For a few years now we've become accustomed to the mounds of dirt, massive irrigation systems and abundant grass seeding. The setting is no doubt, spectacular. And...
Weekly digest #19: Wine, kayaks, Vancouver, lattes from McDonald’s?!
Since I wrote last week about McDonald's new push into premium coffee drinks such as Lattes and Mochas, I've seen increased advertising by the golden arches on television and in newsprint. Seems like they're serious about taking a slice of Starbuck's business. I still have not tried one yet....
