It sounds lame, but one of the big topics for local bloggers has been our heat-wave. Since Victoria doesn’t usually get temperature over 30 degrees Celsius, it’s remarkable that we have had high-heat mid-30s weather for several days in a row now. And the bloggers continue to weigh in: from Miranda Roach and a laid-back [...]

The weather has been hot, and unusual, too – Victoria bloggers weigh in. Five Star Whale Watching has some stunning photos of Saturday’s thunder-and-lightning storm (thunder & lightning are not a typical summer occurrence here). You have to click through (and scroll down) – beautifully amazing. Meanwhile, there were fires not just in the sky, [...]

Here are some posts from the last 48 hours that caught our eye at MetroCascade… First off, I want to mention a new website and blog that folks in Victoria might want to know about, but I have to give full disclosure: I’m an author on that site. It’s Johnson Street Bridge, and it’s a [...]

In the politics category, BC-politics-focused Public Eye Online posts by Sean Holman are five-strong this Monday morning, with reports on how BC Rail Co. got exempted from FOI requests; the inappropriateness of having the same person be house leader and attorney general; and political commentary on the 100 Mile Diet and carbon footprints, among other posts.

Animals and politics: those two categories make some sort of sense in tandem, no? They appear to be the trending topics of the last 48 hours on MetroCascade. Victoria Dogs blog enlightens readers with four posts. Those of us with “heavier set” dogs might want to check out Is your dog overweight? (My dog isn’t [...]

Parenting and Environment go together, don’t you think? The Parenting category was quite active over the past 2 days. Real Parenting has a couple of entries – have to say this one on why knitting is such a great activity got my attention: “…knitting takes very little energy to do. Somehow, stealing a few moments [...]

Lifestyle is a hard one to curate – or even to categorize. In the last two days, this topic has been very active, with a heavy emphasis on health and wellness. Victoria Klassen has four posts, including tips on running (she’s a marathoner-in-training), old love notes, culling books from her library, and a poem on [...]

We’re in the process of creating an Uncategorized page, to list all the blogs that so far we haven’t yet been able to assign to a specific topic/ category. It’s a stop-gap, temporary we hope, but for the time being the Uncategorized category contains some riveting stuff. For example, Elizabeth McClung, who writes Screw Bronze, [...]

Serves me right for letting things pile up, but just counting today (at 3:30pm), there are forty-three (43!) new posts on MetroCascade, from a range of categories that include news, movies, photos, business, hightech, music, happenings, sports, politics, education, lifestyle, urbanism, and the still ever-handy (but not terribly useful) uncategorized. I’m almost afraid to look [...]
