I’ve been getting settled in Vancouver! It’s been great getting into the city, and I’ve been writing some excellent things for the Ubyssey. I figured I’d drop off a bit of an omnibus post for those who want to follow along.

Hovercraft for Wreck Beach fall victim
I got a piece in 24 Hours! It was a crazy breaking news story that involved a lot of running, and then an hour later the newsroom got a call that the metro daily was interested. We also got to do some excellent breaking stuff for the Ubyssey as well, about the small forest fire on campus. The five of us stuck out there until 3 AM, and then I came by again the next day.

Over 4000 fill downtown for Occupy Vancouver debut
Got to do some real new media stuff for this, with the video and the article. I’m rather pleased with both! I got to take a look at it before hand as well, too. That was the same week the Insite court decision passed, which I was able to do a neat web piece on.

A film only a fan could love
And I got to do some very Batesy stuff as well. At 3:38 above, you can see my piece about interviewing Tommy Wiseau, which was crazy, like interviewing a cartoon character. I’ve written about ALL OF THE SOCCER.

It’s been pretty rad! My articles are appearing here as I write them, and the rad videos we’ve been doing that I’ve been in and assisting on are at the Ubyssey’s Youtube channel as well. Now to actually, you know, do classwork.
