Slow week here with summer arrived and work at a standstill.  Found some time to scrape the feedreader though:

  • Peter Rukavina exposes the vapidity of TV
  • Peter also tackles the problem of creating a cafe that plays your music to you.
  • Johnnie Moore posts on the philosophical underpinnings of conversation.
  • Viv McWaters playing at graphical representation of facilitation tips.
  • The Tyee has brought on Andrew Nikiforuk to write about the tar sands.

Pitch invasions in football

July 12, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized

I was at the Vancouver Whitecaps game the other night and witnessed this pitch invasion at the ‘Caps end. This is some good footage of Vancouver keeper Jay Nolly taking on the invader and physically removing her from the pitch.

Heart stopping stuff.

🙂

The week’s tweets

  • Languid crepuscular morning. The sky is barely stirring. Ravens scream for summer. #
  • Spent an hour pitting cherries, up to my wrists in juice, midwifing little seeds. #
  • Train yourself only to see relationships. This zephyr, that flock of juncos, the thick cool air of morning. All connected. #
  • Dedicate yourself to something if only to find out what you need to clear in yourself so you can be fully present with the world. #
  • Well done Netherlands! #
  • Perfect Bowen summer evening. Good friends BBQ salmon, a swim in the sea and sleeping outside in the warn still air. Ahhhhhh… #
  • Cleansed all night by cool katabatic winds flowing off our mountain. Smudged by the breezeshed. Diamond clear morning, rarest of dawns. #
  • RT @thomasart: At work today in the Reverie Research Department at the Institute for Sunny Days on the Back Deck. #
  • The day as it was here on Bowen: http://bit.ly/blypuq #
  • RT @wendyfarmer: Cajoling passion & responsibility without conferring adequate authority is a set up. <– Excellent! #
  • It is so hot. Into Vancouver to watch the Whitecaps play tonight. #
  • you tube redirecting to wikipedia? wtf? #
  • The sun has beat the air and sea to a flat calm liquid. Everything feels as if it is swimming. Even the chickadees are panting. #

Back to some regular noticing:

  • An Indian MP calls for a 21st century residential school policy.  Appalling.
  • Johnnie Moore finds research that vindicates my approach of having questions rather than goals.
  • Metafilter post on desire lines.

This ain’t Canada right now

July 7, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized 4 Comments


Or so says the police officer about 3:50 minutes into this video.  Wow.  If that is true, then York Regional Police officer 815 was acting out of his jurisdiction and was therefore simply a bully.  With a sidearm.

Think about that.

There are dozens and dozens of stories like this coming out of the G20.  Only a public inquiry will get to the bottom of that, and it needs to result in some clear guidelines for how police enforce laws within the context of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, even when there are special circumstances.  Since 9/11 politicians and police have used “security” as a pretext for suspending civil rights with dubious pieces of legislation and unlawful policing behaviour.  This has to stop.  If indeed we live in a world with heightened security threats, we have to find ways to deal with them precisely and without arbitrary measures.  If the state gets sloppy with law enforcement, it crosses the line.  In a democracy you cannot round up dozens of people on the pretext that there might be someone hiding among them.  Those who call for that have no idea what they are asking for.  We will become a police state no different from other states in which civil rights are suspend for arbitrary reasons.

The cop is right.  This ain’t Canada right now.  That needs to change.
