While I'm at it, I learned some sweet facts about Victoria. If you weren't already thinking, "Victoria sounds like the bomb"... 1) Nelly Furtado is from here 2) Victoria is the only city in Canada with a year on record with NO frost 3) British Columbia has an awesome climate for growing marijuana, and provides most of Canada's marijuana. A new farm for medical Mary-J opened in Victoria, and it provides most of BC's. Also, cops apparently turn a blind eye to recreational use if it's on an individual basis. (You may be surprised I'm posting this of all ppl, but literally, my bus driver told me all this unprovoked) 4) Opium used to be legal here, and it was smuggled into the US 5) One of its lakes is the location of Canada's Olympic rowing practice grounds 6) It has the second oldest Chinatown in North America, second to San Fran 7) John Wayne used to vacation here 8) You can see the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier from Victoria 9) Most of BC's arable land is here (90% of BC is mountainous) 10) It's great. 9 facts should be enough for you :)

Tri-Co DH fellow, Shahzeen Nasim, spent part of her summer at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) taking the course: "Multimedia: Design for Audio, Visual, and Electronic Environments." Here is a snazzy video she created during the course discusses some logistics surrounding the conference.
