    Pickletinis sound awesome to you too, huh? We’ll show you how to make them. You need a pickletini to help wash down our other Burning Man food favourite, Cowboy Caviar. Not included in the recipe: a burning effigy.

  • Burning Man: I felt reborn in the Black Rock Desert

    By September 7, 2012

    I didn’t get to see the man or the temple burn. I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to a lot of the friends I met in the Black Rock Desert who, for four days, turned my life upside down. I had to leave early. A few days prior, as I walked on the sand in Northern Nevada looking to set up camp at my first-ever Burning Man festival, I was filled with trepidation. Here’s my story.

    By August 31, 2012

    In his latest novel, Wonder, Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer explores the possible ramifications of the awakening of artificial intelligence.

    Wonder, the third installment in Sawyer’s WWW trilogy, asks what exactly is a human, and moreover, a life. Sawyer moves away from the typical preconceptions that A.I. will be a threat instead of an asset to humanity and explores prejudices against A.I. that movies like Terminator have taught us.

  • Following Shad at Regina’s Folk Festival

    By August 25, 2012

    I was late to Regina Folk Fest, which meant I missed Mavis Staples perform. Most prominently, this meant I missed her tribute to Levon Helm and The Band, a heartbreaking rendition of “The Weight.”

    The set was, by all accounts but mine, one to remember. I wish I could have been there to see it.
