Well, here we are, Edmonton. Time to shut off the lights and close down the joint. Two or so years ago, if you had told either of us that we’d reach this point – 1500+ posts, a 6 part TV series , a variety of live webcasts, a fancy pants best blog award and the funniest, smartest, best-looking audience in the city – we’d have called you crazy. And not just because we lacked a basic understanding of the INTERNETS ( the files are IN the computer ?). the edmontonian has come farther than we ever thought it could, and honest to God, no one is more surprised by that than we are. So we’d like to take this last minute to thank you guys, truly, and from the bottom of our hearts, for welcoming us into your lives for the last 2+ years.
the edmontonian: awesome since 2009
This is the first vlog where I try to talk, knowing that I don’t have any cuts to use. It’s tough! But I definitely want to get better. Please send me questions, or suggestions on things to talk about on this channel. Thank you! :)

Gawker ? Today's gossip is tomorrow's news
Several years ago, I pitched a freelance piece about black atheism to a prominent magazine geared toward African-Americans. The pitch was denied, but not for any real reason. "That one might be a bit, uh, hard," is all my editor said. I'd later come to find out that he was merely sheltering me from his ultra-Christian executive editor, who would never let a piece questioning religion run in the magazine.
Over the past seven years, at our creative agency, Access , we have worked with a number of residential and commercial property developers from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, helping them with development and strategy. Yet we see so often the sad sight of yet another mediocre building going up. We see city councils approving mediocre design and we see cities looking uglier because of it.
