[crossposted to another blog of mine] Today is the final day of the hearing in my province, BC, at which Macleans magazine has been charged with fomenting hatred against Muslims. I feel very strongly that this is a dangerous imposition of the government on a fundamental Canadian right: the right to speak and write freely. …

An Old Friend Arrives & Departs
http://nathanbauman.com/odysseus/?p=389Kevin and I My long-time friend Kevin Kim, more usually known in some circles as “the Big Hominid,” touched down in Vancouver today, and it was my pleasure to have dinner with him. Despite being rather short on sleep, and thus on energy, I had a great time, and I’m very touched that Kevin came to see me. …

An Ominous Google Search
http://nathanbauman.com/odysseus/?p=387My main blog, Curatorandcollector.com, which is hosted by Hostpapa.ca, is down today. Technical support is not available until tomorrow. I checked my Statcounter, and the last person to my site was a visitor who had googled “problems with Hostpapa.” Ominous. I hope things can get running tomorrow, and I hope that nothing has been hacked. …

Bill Reid Gold Artworks Stolen from Museum (Updated)
http://curatorandcollector.com/?p=162A terrible story from Curator & Collector’s own backyard today: twelve [not “ten,” as previously stated] gold artworks by one of Canada’s greatest artists, Bill Reid, have been stolen from the UBC Museum of Anthropology. Of Scottish-Haida extraction, Reid was in many ways a perfect living symbol of Canada until his death in 1998. He was a very versatile artist, working in different artistic media as sculptor, jeweler, and painter. Several of his works adorn the

BigHominid's Hairy Chasms
http://bighominid.blogspot.com. You can see an example of my coin work by looking at my sidebar, where you'll see coins for both Naked Villainy (with the French motto "Que les nains souffrent"-- may the dwarves suffer) and Nathan's main blog (if "main" is the proper term), Port Coquitlam Odysseus. UPDATE: There was one other major step I left out of the above narrative. After locking together the three "people" layers (Tom, Na-young, and Kevin), I realized to my chagrin that I hadn't settled my image correctly on Na-young's arm: my ass was

intro and FAQ
http://kevinswalk.blogspot.com/2008/01/intro-and-faq.htmlregions. Reality is, by nature, clumped and uneven, so there's little reason to expect churches, temples, and so on to be evenly distributed throughout the land. 9. WHERE IS YOUR WALK STARTING? WHERE IS IT ENDING? With many thanks to my good friend Nathan Bauman, the Walk will actually begin near Vancouver, Canada, in what Nathan has cleverly styled a "prelude" to the US portion of Kevin's Walk. The official beginning of the Walk will be somewhere on the US west coast, right at the Pacific Ocean, probably in

Miss Koco is done with Korea. Nathan of Seoul Hero has moved back to Canada and started a new blog, which can be found here. Jon from the well-named blog: Seoul-Man has moved on to Japan. I think I'll leave his up because he still writes about Korea. The Party Pooper has moved over to Blogspot, and changed his address (and made

Ave, Nathan!
http://bighominid.blogspot.com/2007/11/ave-nathan.htmlcycle, but Nathan has written a very thoughtful (and outraged) post about the October tasering death of a Polish citizen, Robert Dziekanski, who was held at a Canadian airport for ten hours. The tasering video is available on YouTube; Nathan's post is here. It's hard to deny that the Vancouver International Airport authorities could have handled the situation more delicately. At the same time, Mr. Dziekanski wasn't doing himself any favors by turning belligerent. My own feeling is that the airport
