Today was the first day as Coördinator, AMS Minischool, and I had a bit of a rough start. I hadn’t real­ised the offices had been switched and I opened the door to…*shock and awe* an office that did not look famil­iar at all. Thankfully, it was all sor­ted out and keys were switched so I’m very pleased now. I spent the bet­ter part of the work day try­ing to sort out the office and (don’t tell any­one who vis­its my office this…) I secretly stashed all the junk I couldn’t clean into the empty fil­ing cabinets…(and let’s say there is a lot of junk!) I’m really going to have to make my assist­ant sift through it slowly…

The high­lights of the day included find­ing out that Sgt. Dan Wendland is *shock and awe…again* no longer ser­vi­cing UBC?! I’m so con­fused. This is the doing of the Radical Beer Faction…j’accuse!

After Phoebe Yu com­men­ted on miss­ing Wordcamp 2009 Vancouver, I did a bit of research and now I’m so excited about upcom­ing blog­ging con­fer­ences! While there are plenty, nation­ally and inter­na­tion­ally, they’re pretty inac­cess­ible due to the nature of school and work. That’s why I’ve resolved to attend Northern Voice 2010 and Wordcamp 2010 Vancouver! Maybe I’m over­com­pens­at­ing for not attend­ing any 2010 Olympics events?

Kevin Wu received cool MooCards for being a food­buzz pub­lisher but I’ve been con­tem­plat­ing blog­ger call­ing cards for a while now myself! I think it’s a great idea. Here’s a quick mockup I designed, how does it look? (And don’t com­ment on the quick mockup job! Just the design, please!)

I saw a ridicu­lous com­mer­cial just now, see it after the jump.

I must be so unfash­ion­able. I don’t understand…what is the concept of this com­mer­cial?! I saw the back­stage com­ment­ary and I call BS on this one.
