Someone mentioned Zeitgeist in the comments of my last post. I found it worth watching for the perspectives on Christianity and the Federal Reserve alone. Would like to learn more about both. If anyone has seen any rebuttals or further insights concerning these two topics, please post them here! ...

Welcome to Day 2 of me being declared the 2nd worst Canadian in the entire history of Canada.

I initially began composing this here text chunk while sitting in a Super 8 in Topeka, KS. Alas, sitting in a van, hocking books and other wares, and impromptu parking lot football games got the better of my time. So it sat as a "draft", neglected, lonely, starved for human contact.

Events scheduled include a town hall meeting tonight (Wednesday), and workshops, demos, a critical mass, and more throughout the week. Get the full dealio on the Resist Atlantica website. (Even though I am, as a rule, skeptical of any event which notes that "costumes are encouraged". I am also a prick.)

Here is a place where Derek and I will field read constructive comments, criticisms and questions related to the recent DVD we accidentally manufactured.

Of potential interest to the Winnipeggers amongst you, we are co-sponsoring Dance Down Tha Wall 3, a "dance party" fundraiser for the Canada-Palestine Support Network (Winnipeg) on Saturday, February 3rd. Question the wisdom of using the word "tha" in one's event title all you want - we didn't ...
