From Digitech Laser:
We have decided to start an office composting system. We only have 13 employees so we aren’t generating a large amount of waste, but we still think we should try and cut down. Our first idea was to have a company come in and pick up our compostable materials, but after some searching we found that Vancouver doesn’t currently have this system in place. Smithrite offers this, but not for offices as small as ours. We then thought about setting up a worm bin, but from our research we think that this method can be smelly and there are a lot of materials that have to be kept out.
Then we found the “Bokashi Bucket”. It was appealing to us because it claims to have no smell, no worms, recycles all types of waste other than liquids and is small enough for in the office kitchen.
The post includes a link to my website and updates have already been posted
Thanks Nikki.

I like the fact that they get their own sign:
It was a cloudy day
Then a sunny day
More sun
The colour on this tree is amazing when it is cloudy
and even better when it was sunny
A few hours of wind had many leaves falling

Check out this video….

Kate Dugas asked this question on Facebook:
will someone please help me understand what this actually means? (the parts of the policy that they seem to want to make sound so scary in this video.)
Mitchell Rhodes responded:
Let’s call anything that gets into Facebook, face-fodder. If the video captured the legalese of Facebook correctly, then it seems that we give away our rights to all face-fodder. Facebook can use all face-fodder for any purpose it wishes, including selling or giving it away. If Facebook decided to sell all the images (pictures and video) of Kate that were ever uploaded to Facebook to XXX, they could do so. Not only does Kate get no royalties, she doesn’t even have a say of yes or no of being used in the advertisement and promotion of selling product XXX. Microsoft is considering investing $500 million into Facebook and a recent New York Times article suggested that Facebook might be valued at $15 billion. It’s been long suspected that the CIA created Facebook. If we weren’t willing to give face-fodder away for free (fun), think about how much it would cost spooks and advertisers to separately collect it. Spying techniques with a revenue stream. It’s a bargain at $15 billion!
Scary stuff indeed.

Flying from Toronto to Vancouver today, I saw this out the window:
I’m 30,000 feet in the air. With 3x optical zoom, here’s the view from 10,000 feet:
