Pecha Kucha? Don’t Mind If I Do!

by Mike Vardy on October 6, 2011

When I was asked to fill in for this guy at Pecha Kucha 7 in Victoria tonight, I was flattered.

(Well, actually, at first I thought they sneezed. But then when I realized what Pecha Kucha actually meant I was flattered.)

I’ll be unleashing Eventualism: All You Need to Kind of Know in Six Minutes and Forty Seconds tonight, and I’m eventually looking forward to it.

With less than four hours until I have to make the rocket go, I’d best go and get to it. Whatever it is, that is.

I hope to eventually see you there. I hear there’ll be drink tickets!

Test. Please ignore.

by Mike Vardy on September 26, 2011

You tried to ignore, didn’t you? Well, that was the test.

If you did, that’s excellent. It means you trust me well enough to know that what I wrote here would be nothing more than a bunch of text to ensure my feed was working, that a new plug-in was optimized or that I could still type with my feet as eventually as ever. Good on you.

If you didn’t, that’s also excellent. It means that you trust me well enough to know that even when I’m testing something, it’s worth looking at. That I’m willing to test in public the very work that I express (or ejaculate) here on an eventual basis and see what sticks. Good on you.

The test was also one for me to take as well. I was testing my ability to write something on a less eventual consistent basis, because I feel as if my lack of productivity pontification on here has been leading the flock astray. Luckily, because you’re likely eventually straying, I am able to catch up to you far easier than most other folks.

The outcome? We passed with crawling colors.

See you soon-ish, my eventual friends. As opposed to later-ish.

An Eventual Success Story: The Ontario Liberal Party

by Mike Vardy on September 22, 2011

Eventualists, eventual productivityists and those hoping to be one of the sane, I have returned from a rather lengthy sabbatical. Where was I? Well, in the true spirit of the word sabbatical, I was sequestered in my mancave watching footage of the great Gabriela Sabatini during her remarkable run as a tennis player.

And I luv’d every minute of it.

What awoke me from my game-set-mattress? Well, it was the discovery that in my old stomping grounds, Ontario (not the one everyone knows in California, but the one Canadians know next to Alberta), there was a rampant adoption of Eventualism by the provincial Liberal party. And while they are being quite liberal about its tenets (although fittingly), it is still a wonderful thing to see eventually happening. I don’t even live there anymore and the ideology of Eventualism is making its way through the campaign.
