Blurb, from Social Media Camp, Victoria, Canada: A "Fireside Chat" with Dave Olson, who informs and entertains with a unique style including numerous visual aids, analog artifacts and interactive activities. Dave’s presentations always inspire fresh thinking by evoking the spirit of historical luminaries remixed with anecdotes from 17+ years in web tech and travel to 30 countries. This time around, he'll riff on topics about future-proofing, disappearing content, the importance of archiving, media research, and documenting and publishing artifacts with an eye towards forever. Along the way will be anecdotes about Radiouserland, Samuel Peyps, Clayoquot blockades, and exploration of other forms of what we now call "social media."

Created and published by hemplobby.org in June 1999 – over a decade before legalization of cannabis would come to the USA – this collection of history, agricultural information, plant botany, legal frameworks, factoids and further readings was distributed to legislators, policymakers, teachers, and activists around the world but primarily in Washington (State and DC) and Oregon. Now that legislative change is sweeping across America – focused primarily on medical and recreational use – it's important to also remember the benefits of low/no THC industrial hemp which can be made into literally thousands of different products and help negate many conundrums around modern agriculture, climate change, and survival of family farms. While much of the information is out of date, take a read through to see where Cannabis legalization and education were at the end of the last century. Created by Ed Saukooja, Dave Olson and David White.

A cycle of freeverse poems written for/about my Grandpa Robert L Stevenson during his final days, and in the wake of his death as i reflected about our adventures together. Of all my relations, i am perhaps the most like him in many ways: we loved roadtrips, foreign travel, good conversations and stories, and wearing glasses. Company in the free verse are a variety of photos of him and me and other bids which remind me of this remarkable man who clicked off 67 countries and 80 something years. Download and print your own if so inclined. Enjoy.

The core of personal expression is in the stories we create. Indeed, we humans are defined by the stories we tell and the people we ell them to. No matter what form your stories take – digital or analog – they come alive when shared with an audience. By exploring an oft-forgotten and eclectic variety of Vancouver stories, Northern Voice veteran (this is his 9th talk) Dave Olson @uncleweed, will send you on personal quests to discover new heroes, sort out conundrums, and collaborate with other storymakers to and remix artifacts from our local life. Along the way, you'll explore forms your mixed media stories might take and ways to share with audiences you've yet to meet. Start your journey by finding inspiration and interestingness in the history of our own Vancouver, perhaps: forgotten breweries and legendary blues venues, wealthy recluse at the Bayshore, intrepid punk rock photographer, bohemian group of seven painters, storytellers past and future, true heavyweight champ in an unmarked grave, a dead Hollywood star and his grisly autopsy, stoner comedians' first meeting, Jimi/Janis/Jerry, summer of love shakedown #nofun, Sammy Sr. at the Cave, Jello at the York, everyone at the Buddha, and a host of our distant forebears and peers. Your speaker Dave grew up in Guildford > Whalley > Newton and now lives in Lynn Valley and works in Mt. Pleasant and while he's spent time in 29 other countries – he takes distinct interest in getting lost in neighbourhoods seeking craft ales, chill gardens and curious tales. You may have caught him sharing at Pecha Kucha, SXSW, TedX or local community clubs.

This presentation, titled "Becoming a Vegetarian: Animal Cruelty, Speciesism, Sanatan & Biological Reasons," explores the various motivations behind adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. It addresses ethical concerns related to animal cruelty and the exploitation inherent in factory farming, and examines the concept of speciesism, comparing it to other forms of discrimination. The presentation also delves into the principles of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism), emphasizing the spiritual practice of Ahimsa (non-violence) and how vegetarianism aligns with these beliefs. Additionally, it highlights the biological reasons for choosing a vegetarian diet, including health benefits and scientific research supporting its nutritional adequacy and disease prevention potential. This comprehensive exploration aims to provide a well-rounded understanding of the ethical, spiritual, and health-related reasons for becoming a vegetarian.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it. The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
