"Showing Their Scales" and "The Hockey Farmer"

We are pleased to introduce the works of local B.C. authors KP Wee and Farhan Devji to you:

"Showing Their Scales" contains three tales of lies, lust, and deception. These are short novels which deal with betrayal and revenge, with three main male characters and how they end up hurting the women in their lives.
**Catch an episode of BlogTalkRadio here with KP's interview on his books, recorded Dec 29, 2008.**

"The Hockey Farmer" is a story about Logan Watt, who hails from Cochrane, Alberta, and has to decide whether to rehabilitate the legendary family farm or pursue an unlikely career in professional hockey. The story also shifts to Vancouver and contains numerous Vancouver Canucks references.

Two companies change their logos - but why?


In the last couple weeks, Bell Canada and British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) changed their logos.
But is this for the better? On the left side, you see the original logos, and on the right the new and improved (?!) ones.
As you can see, the new Bell logo is very simple.
As for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, they have gone the KFC route by shortening their name to simply "BCLC." That's fine. Shorter brand names are supposed to be cooler and appealing to the youth.
But the lottery corporation isn't for kids; it's for adults. And looking at the new logo (which will be implemented in September), it looks like even a child could have done it. Isn't that the serif font with some circles?
Geez.
