FUN WRITINGS
This is the writing I've most enjoyed. I hope you find you like it too.

* Change Around (2004): Enter my bizarro life by reading this story about how I leave my money in the strangest of places.

* Bear Exposure (2003): A short story that I wrote and was published in Reflections on Water--an online journal at UNBC. It was a special issue on humour and British Columbia. Many thanks to those who helped me with this project: David Mills – some excellent editing. Pam and Malcolm Palmer – their editing and suggestion. Renee and Jason Shapcott – making it all possible by helping me get a new computer after the bad guys took my old crap computer.

* Hobo or Not to Hobo (2002): This story is about my idea to push a shopping cart home from the mall and my actual journey to the mall and back.

* The Drive (1999): I drove from Winfield to Prince George once and this story came out of that journey.
 


ACADEMIC STUFF
These are essays/papers that I wrote while a student at UNBC.

* Waswanipi Cree Model Forest: a case study (2003): While maybe not my very best or most exciting academic work, this did involved significant research and has been presented online by UNBC, so it is definitely an accomplishment. Within the document, especially the “Barriers and Recommendations” section, there are some key findings that are widely applicable. (Note: after you click on the link here, scroll to bottom of the page to find my case study)

* Russia's Far East: economic development or economic dependence? (2002): This essay represents the most time and effort I have ever put in to a paper, and consequently it resulted in my best grade ever on a paper. Anyone with an interest in regional development might want to check this out.

* Porto Alegre and Direct Democracy: enigma or reality? (2002): Imagine being able to decide and vote on how your tax dollars are spent! The residents of this city get to do just that. Read on to find out more… and spread the word, democracy can be better, and this system really shows that.
