It’s no secret that I love to shop. I’m a borderline shopaholic when it comes to clothes and shoes. When I’m approaching such a store I get giddy, anxious and uncontrollably driven, especially when I’m carrying an obliging piece of plastic. [...]

Best of 2009: Wings
One highlight of my week is our Thursday get together with friends. A chance to catch up, have a laugh and make plans for the weekend. Before moving to Halifax, our locale of choice was George’s on 17th in Calgary. I don’t consider myself a connoisseur of the domestic fowl, but I have been known to fill a few bone buckets. [...]

There’s nothing like a relaxing weekend brunch in Halifax, and as far as I’m concerned, Saege Restaurant on Spring Garden Road is the best place to go. [...]

Best of 2009: Coffee
Trident Booksellers on Hollis St. makes the best coffee in the city, the province and quite possibly the country. Period. End of discussion. [...]

2010 Web Strategy
Newspapers aren’t going to disappear any time soon, but the traditional website is.

Social Media
Ignite the Spirit online
It’s not just another Wordpress blog. Ignite the Spirit, the newly launched blog and website for the Central Nova Scotia Civic Centre Project, brings awareness and progress updates on the build of this highly anticipated facility. The centre is expected to house a 3,200-seat event venue, an NHL-sized ice pad, three-lane walking and jogging track, pool, fitness and wellness centre, rock climbing and more. The aim of the new blog is to communicate with the Truro community, whether it be an upcoming event, recognition of the projects’ partners or conveying ways people can get involved. The facility isn’t due to open until Fall 2012, but instead of leaving everyone in the dark on its development, we have opened the door to ongoing discussions through the blog and the use of social media.

Creative minds think alike?
Take a look around – who do you get feel in sync with? Do you get along better with people that are just like you or that are completely opposite? [...]
