It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.

2 Awards for BCIT New Media Crew!
2 Awards for BCIT New Media Crew!, originally uploaded by Hamster Salad.
I just got home from the gala event at which the awards for the New Media Slam were presented. The gala would have been a lot of fun anyway; it was held in a very cool space and sponsored by some very cool organizations and people. However, when your team comes home with TWO of the five awards, the evening is just that much better.
BCIT New Media Crew won both "Best Use of Interactivity" and the "ZeD People's Choice Award." The prizes for these awards are amazing:
- Cash
- CineClix and Future Shop freebies
- Trips to the Banff New Media Institute
- Our production showcased at Vidfest
- Automatic registration in another Slam-like event in two weeks time! (And, yes, we're going to do it.) (And, yes, we are nuts; thanks ever so much for asking.)
- More stuff that I can't even remember right now
Mosey over to The Standard to see photos of our fun night; Robert was working his usual magic with the camera and he and Mark will have much more to add about the evening. If they can remember how to blog after dancing their brains out, that is.
Thank you to all the sponsors and organizers, as well as to the other participants. Thank you to everyone who voted for us online. And apologies to all of you for that very self-indulgent speech I made when we got the second award.
Oh, and my car got towed while I was dancing my own brains out, so I guess that proves something.

Owl tv
Over the past month or so I have been captivated by The Birdhouse Network's Nest Box Cam. I have voyeuristically indulged myself in glimpses of nest building, rodent consumption, birdie lurve, and egg laying. And tonight one of the owl nest boxes (my favourites) has a hatched egg. At least I assume it's hatched and not just broken. I haven't actually seen an owlet yet, except for here.
The images refresh every 30 seconds, although you can usually find me impatiently hitting the reload button every 5 or 10 seconds. Just in case.
