Before we begin today, we have one tidbit of information to include from yesterday that somehow Jeff forgot to mention. So as dusk was setting in and energy was running slim, we realized we were quickly running out of gas and needed some American cash to pay for an upcoming toll road — they don’t… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 2 – 1789

Washington Trip — Day 1 — Ever get that feeling you’re about to drive to Washington?
That’s right gals and guys, it’s time again for another thrilling two weeks of travel blogging courtesy of Jeff and Clara. As you might remember, we blogged about our trip to Barcelona last summer, when Jeff went to meet Clara’s relatives and become a professional bull fighter. This time around, Clara is getting a taste… Continue reading Washington Trip — Day 1 — Ever get that feeling you’re about to drive to Washington?
To The Lovely Business Owners of London
So, we love local businesses. Because we live downtown we frequent them almost exclusively. But we admit we kind of screwed around with them at last weekend’s Stairbomb (pictures of which can be seen here). Most people we talked to were unfazed, bemused or guiltily–but inactively–peeved by our little prank. But we realize some people… Continue reading To The Lovely Business Owners of London
This Saturday: Stairbomb With Us!
Uh, what up criggaz. So, to celebrate the one-year-anniversary of this little comic we do, we’re trying to rile up Londoners with a bit of accessibility-focused direct action: we’re caution-taping stairways around this city on Saturday night after the Vote Mob in Victoria Park. We’re meeting by the bandshell at 7, with all the… Continue reading This Saturday: Stairbomb With Us!
Friday Shout-Outs
For anyone on twitter, the idea of #FollowFriday is probably familiar, but for those of you who aren’t twits like me, every Friday on twitter people throw out recommendations of their favourite tweeters to educate people about good content that they may not have seen before. I’ve decided to do something similar here on Cripz,… Continue reading Friday Shout-Outs
Sitting down for a chat
Earlier this morning, I sat down for a chat with a reporter from The Londoner who was interested in learning more about what Clara and I are up to and how Cripz is doing. It was a fun interview that focused heavily on the characters and story of Cripz rather than the development (which is… Continue reading Sitting down for a chat
The system is down
First up, Clara and I wanted to apologize for our website being on the fritz these past few days. We have contacted the service provider and were told they are aware the problem and are working to fix it. Hopefully everything is right as rain come Wednesday for our new comic. Until then, thanks for… Continue reading The system is down
Time to Refocus
As you may or may not have heard, I recently decided to step back from my work with United Way to refocus my energies on finishing my Doctorate in Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario. I just want to note what a fantastic experience it was working with United Way–these people are the… Continue reading Time to Refocus
Cripz Meets the Press
Well, the Freeps has answered the bell…kind of. After calling out the LFPress in last week’s comic, a reporter from the paper called this weekend to get the scoop from Clara and I on what was so wrong with their poll. Jane Sims spoke with us on Saturday and it’s safe to say this interview… Continue reading Cripz Meets the Press
Movin’ home to London, Ontario
For the last few years, Jeff has hosted all of his websites with a company based out of California with limited success. While the space was adequate and the prices right, the tech support was awful and he was tired of all the long distance bills from waiting on hold for hours on end. Ultimately,… Continue reading Movin’ home to London, Ontario
