Web Ink Now: Social Media is the new punk rock

Interesting analogy. I missed the rise of punk — was old enough but didn’t really get it. But I’ve been searching for the same passion and participation ever since and I’m finding it in online communities. So I think the videographer is on to something.

Buried Trolley Line on Albert Street

I took this photo while walking to work last week — it's a bit of urban archeology as a City work crew (who is re-paving Albert Street Bridge) uncovered the old trolley lines that used to run the length of Albert Street.  

Then they proceeded to cut them out and continue repaving.
Too bad in a way.  It made me think about what Regina would be like if it was still compact enough to support a trolley line.  Sort of like in this video:
