A Helpful Reminder?

It did not take very long for me to realize how special my hometown was. One harsh winter back east and it soon became apparent, that I in fact was a proud Vancouverite. The harshness of the winters and the intensity of the daily grind became daily reminders that I should never of taken my hometown for granted. I would dread my oversized Northface down coat and would avoid any contact with the outside temperatures. These became clear indicators of my deep seeded love for my city by the bay.

But if -30 degree temperature were not enough, thanks to the 2010 Olympic Games, every g-d for sakin celebrity and athlete felt the need to tell me every commercial break, how wonderful Vancouver was.

Clearly, I did not already need the reminder. Was it helpful? On the contrary, it merely made me homesick.

Apparently I gotta be there? Well thanks for clearing that up.

BZZZZZZZZZ

For those of you who aren't already loyal Gmail users, you may be unaware of a new feature known as Google Buzz. As someone who has never gotten the hang of twitter, this new feature seemed rather redundant and useless to me. However, after I gave it some thought, I realized that I had been twittering all along, just in a highly selective manner. Yes, I will admit it, when people whom I respected posted a link, 9/10 times I would click and see what they were tweeting about. For anyone whom I respected was already a Gmail user, and would be found hanging on my sidebar. So with the inception of Buzz, I find myself checking out what all those respectable Gmail folk are saying. I may not be bzzzzing just yet.. but I am reading.

Geekosystem gives the who what and where on this new bzzzzing feature!

The Techno-Dominator

The brand of Alexander Wang is forever ubiquitous. This is not just because Alexander's looks are being picked up by all the top fashion editors and celebrities. Wang is connecting himself to the public in a way that no other fashion designer has done before him. Coined the techno-dominator by Style.com, fashion week 2010 saw Wang launch a live streaming of his show in the middle of Time Square, proving that fashion is no longer constrained to the runway.

Although Wang is surprisingly modest and has been quoted saying that he only expected small crowds, history shown us that Wang's influence can entice crowds even when he is having a party at a gas station.
