Damn, I forgot today was Towel Day.

But... Happy Paras is a 1/2 Doctor day, everyone!

Apparently something I missed on the front page of the Journal on Monday, Graffiti ruffles feathers:

Sara Olsen fell in love with a little black bird at the tender age of 20.

It was in 2005 that she first spotted the bird, stencilled in spraypaint on a grey utility box near the Garneau Theatre. Next to it was a speech bubble containing one word: listen.

...

Scrawl, a website that documents street artwork, calls the artist Listen. According to Scrawl, Listen's original graffiti was done with stencils but has evolved to include markers, stickers, paste-ups and traditional aerosol work.


This is the website in question: Scrawl. Scrawl was created and is maintained using the Streetprint Engine. Streetprint, of course, was the software to which I made a minor contribution last summer.

The upshot, if you're curious, is that there appears to be some interest in upgrading to the latest version of Streetprint (ie. the one I worked on) from Chris Govias, who runs the Scrawl site. So it seems that my work won't die a quiet and obscure death.

w00t!

This is good. Front page of the Journal: Taking on the Tyrrell:

Canada's first creationist museum will open June 5 in Big Valley as "a scientific and biblically based alternative to the evolutionary view of Earth history" put forward by the Royal Tyrrell Museum 60 kilometres to the south, said Harry Nibourg, founder of the Big Valley Creation Science Museum.

At long last, we get both sides. w00t! That'll learn those scientists with their "evidence" and their "rational thought."

Well, it took a while, but:

Dear Paras:

Thank you for your email regarding the ingredients used in our products.

We apologise for the delay in our response; as most of our confectionery products sold in Canada are sourced from sister units, we needed to gather much information before supplying you with an accurate answer.

We would like to confirm that our confectionery products sold in Canada have always, and will continue to contain vegetarian-friendly whey.

We recognize that there are many different approaches to practicing vegetarianism and therefore recommend that consumers read the label of our confectionery products as milk and egg may be present.

We thank you for your interest in our products.


Best regards,


Your Friends at MARS Canada Inc.

I got said soul for a borrowed pencil.

Shit, looks like I'm getting in on the ground floor. Five years from now, I'll either have all the minions I need, or a wealth of firstborns worth at least twice what I paid (two granola bars! Can you imagine?!)

Thanks Paras.

And I'd say yes, owning a soul trumps ownership of the firstborn. I'd sell my firstborn for a lot less than I'd part with my soul. A Hershey bar would probably do it.
