		<description><![CDATA[My company, Vision Critical, recently held a management conference at the new Vancouver Convention Centre. The interior struck me as somewhat cold and spare but functional and nicely designed. However, there were a couple of things I encountered in the men&#8217;s washrooms that made me (and my colleagues) laugh out loud, and marvel at how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a front page article in the Sun on Friday, &#8220;YVR considers building $1.2-billion runway across fish habitat.&#8221; Nowhere in the article are environmental factors beyond the local debated; even a spokesperson for the David Suzuki Foundation focuses on the fish. It is alarming to see plans for the airport into the 2040s and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote the following a year or two ago, with the intention of posting it to the HS-Van mailing list. I never did, mostly because the group is so defensive and belligerent that real debate on the issues I raise here would have been difficult or impossible, and the ill will created would have made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the difference between someone begging for money, and another shoving towards us a &#8220;newspaper&#8221; such as 24 Hours or Metro? Why is one considered more annoying and unacceptable than the other? Some might say that the former is asking for something, while the latter is giving us something else. They&#8217;re almost certainly both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is it with Victoria&#8216;s conceit that it is &#8220;British&#8221;? I find it preposterous, laughable, and annoying. As someone who has lived in both the provincial capital and in the UK, I have to wonder whether those who promote the city as somehow English have either never been to the British Isles, or are simply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that, whenever a significant construction or infrastructure project (dare I say &#8220;megaproject&#8221;?) is proposed to government, city planners, or (occasionally) the public, it is only a matter of time before it is approved. Such ideas never seem to be rejected once and for all. I&#8217;ve seen it happen many times: from the SkyDome [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never fully understood the appeal of The Naam. Sure, it&#8217;s a funky sort of place, and it&#8217;s always open. But the food is mediocre at best; the service is terrible; and the place is dirty. And as a vegan, it is incredibly frustrating to see it voted &#8220;Best Vegetarian Restaurant in Vancouver&#8221; year after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every week or so, on and off for a few years, I&#8217;ve walked past this abandoned store. Heong Grocery. It&#8217;s been closed for years, and in recent weeks it appears it&#8217;s being prepared for demolition. What is its story? How long was it open? Why did it close? Who is or was Heong? Several years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re still almost four years out from the 2010 Olympics, and significant budget concerns have started to emerge (cf. some of Vaughan Palmer&#8216;s recent columns in the Sun). But I&#8217;m not going to write another &#8220;I told you so&#8221; rant. My perception of the whole affair is coloured by my involvement in designing the original [...]]]></description>
