Bloedel Floral Conservatory


The Bloedel Floral Conservatory sits under a tropical dome in Queen Elizabeth Park. It has some cool plants and birds to see, for the $5 admission fee. A cool discovery! See my photos.

Vancouver Santas
Vancouver Santas
Santa came early this year in Vancouver. And he came in great numbers.
See more bizarre holiday fun in my Vancouver Santas photoset.

I'm not supposed to tell you that Santa has a Santacon website.

My advice to Santas for next year:
- If you show up at the first meeting point, do it 45 minutes later then advertised.
- Show up at the dinner-time meeting point if you're a night-time Santa.
- Pace yourself. In between giving out gifts, Santa mostly barcrawls.
- Plan to party with Santa all day and/or all night. It's a lot of fun.
- Bring some of your favorite Christmas spirits with you.
- Don't be Santa on an empty stomach.
- Bring your friends. The more the merrier.

A mural off of Hastings St in Vancouver. Looks extra funky on large size.

Flickr feature requests
I use flickr to publish my photography online. It's a good service, but not perfect. Here are my feature requests to Flickr:

1. On individual photo pages, the meta description and keywords should be about the photo, not about Flickr. Yahoo runs a fricken search engine, you'd think they would get this right.

2. Give me a nice view into the referrer logs. Where are people coming to my photos from? Who's inlining it into webpages? What photos got viewed the most recently? etc. This would be the perfect place to build a Google Analytics competitior.

3. Expand the API to include sets. And keep expanding it from there.

4. Enable HTML links in photo descriptions on my photostream pages when they're showing small photos. Why don't they work here?

Finally, a flickr-related feature request directed to Google: Get an API or scraper set up to read the title, description and tags on flickr photo pages. Then use the info in your Google Image Search algo. I've started searching for images at flickr first now, because experience has shown I often find better images direct from there.

Vancouver


It's been raining in Vancouver, and colder then it was in the East. I feel it's fitting to complete the blog trifecta with a post for Lotusland. There's lots going on.

Friday is the Critical Mass Bike Ride. Saturday hosts a Granville Island Feedback Open Forum and a Hello Al [Gore], Goodbye Gateway Rally (I think this might be big). Sunday has the Plenty Harvest Festival, The Word On The Street Book & Magazine Festival, and Portobello West Fashion & Art Market. The large Vancouver International Film Festival is ongoing.

Festivals and participaction rock, but changing seasons are in the air. I'm gearing back into work, preparing for the fast approaching Luxtoberfest.
