This is where we work and play

well who really knows if it can work or not, or whether it is just a message in a web bottle cast out randomly on the waves the the net, but the final installment of the virtual tour of our property for sale is now posted and while there hasn't be a huge response to our agent, there has been a surprising number of inquiries; hard to say whether it was from the website viral spread of people passing the URL or as likely the old-fashioned business of real estate brokers just working their old-school channels. All I can really say is there's been 60 unique host computers visit these pages in the two weeks since I started (some will be searchbots) and the page read counts keep going up.

From what I hear, tho, the old-tech MLS listing was very effective in grabbing some attention, so effective that we had to file for a stay on that until we could get the place into some sort of showable form! Which it now is, the first round of buyers are lined up for this weekend and we'll just have to see what happens from there.

Sauble Beach Winterfest 2010 at the XC Ski Trails

by garym @teledyn
via youtube.com

A short film of the wonderful winterfest party hosted by the Sauble Beach Cross-Country Ski AND Snowshoe Trails featured hotdogs, marshmallows, hot apple cider and the opening of their brand new snowshoe trails with snowshoes graciously provided by Suntrail Adventures. Sauble boasts the best classic Nordic ski trails in South Western Ontario; I don't know about that, but they certainly DO host the best community party in town, always welcoming, and a great time had by all.

For more on the official opening of the snowshoe trail, check out my earlier film of the ribbon cutting ceremony.

How to Run A Really Big Festival: Tips from Burning Man

by garym @teledyn
No commerce is allowed at Burning Man.  It’s one of the most unusual economic structures in the world–a ‘gift economy’.  Making Contact producer Andrew Stelzer’s been there, and sat down with Larry Harvey, the festival’s founder, to find out how it all works.
via Burning Man’s ‘Gift Economy’ | National Radio Project

Burning Man is an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada. The event is described as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance, however, as organizers have noted, "Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind." Burning Man is organized by Black Rock City, LLC. In 2008, 49,599 people participated in Burning Man

Six more weeks?

by garym @teledyn
It was a late night with band practice, so the chances of the boys and I making a 6am call to head out to the Meeting Place was already pretty slim, the little guy was most disappointed. No problem says Dad, we'll just tune him in on the Internet when it gets to be time!
I don't like wiarton billie on Internet sez he (he calls him Billie, maybe to avoid copyright, I don't know, he's a local boy so I figure he knows)
8:00: showtime! We fire up mom's computer and head to wiartonwillie.org for the link to the live feed and guess what we find! ...

久しぶりのお弁当でした。

私は専業主婦なんで、昼食をきちんと食べる事自体が少ないのですが、家族が休みの時にはきちんと作って食べさせています。大体は、うどんとか、冷蔵庫の中の物で簡単に作れるものでお昼ご飯。と言うのが定番なんですが、今日はちょっと体調がいまいちだったので、久しぶりにお弁当にしました。お弁当と言っても、いつも自分で作って旦那さんに持たせる手作り弁当ではなく、お惣菜コーナーの物です。毎日自分の作った物しか食べないんで、こういう機会じゃないと人の作ってくれたものは食べられないんですよね。昔のお惣菜のイメージはまずいのに栄養バランス最低。と言う感じでしたが、今のお惣菜は美味しくて、しかも、お弁当は栄養バランスの考えられた物が多いんですね。今日は、その栄養士さんが考えたバランス弁当と言うのを買ってきてもらって、お昼にしました。たまには、こういうお昼もいいものですね。

Yah, ok ... looks like someone dropped a domain ball there somewhere! Ok, <tt>southbrucepeninsula.com</tt??  There's a willie page, but the photos are old and the news is as old, no links to feeds or media partners.  Time running out, we quickly head to google and type in Live Feed and what do we get? 2008. Hmmm ... ok ...

Last resort, we check in on CFOS in hopes for a live remote. What we get is some dimwit who is showing the dimness of his wit by trying to impress us with his 'ability' to invent gobbledegook groundhog names on the fly. He's not good at it, but we do learn he's not remote, and, yeah, well, he does give us the three-word summary of what went down on the mound this morning:

Wiarton Billie says: Six more weeks of winter!

Ok ... time for breakfast.
