Aw, thanks. She’s got a fist full of trading pins and an eye for adventure. She’s a big gear hound, so she says the A+++ Rab gear they were given this season is all coming back with her, so we’ll see if that ends up being true.

That’s amazing. It could be the same snowshoes!

I’ve been chatting to someone who did Volleyball in 2008 and she said the area in the Northwest Territories was so small they had to extend the runway to accommodate the flights.

Free history talk this Saturday (March 7)! I'll be talking the petty jealousies of cities and how Fur Rondy got started. Plus whatever odd history I want to talk about. Noon at Title Wave in Anchorage. As always, if no one shows up, I'll be forced to run amok.

We’re super excited to send my daughter to compete in traditional snowshoe/mukluk Biathalon at AWC. It’ll be an experience of a lifetime.

We have some amazing reporters in the State. I was happy to hear she is going to be able to head to the Ak Press Club Conference this year so they can all hang out and hand hopefully have a giant mutual appreciation party.

Local reporting for the win! Sam and the folks at KYUK are the real stars of this amazing event.

It’s hard for me to get across how great and community spirited this even was. They did it perfectly.

Fandom and fun done Y-K style at Bethel's first-ever KuskoCon The Y-K Delta’s first ever comic convention included visiting artists, comic book vendors, and lots of cosplay.

I’ll be doing free, family friendly comics classes at most of the Anchorage Library branches over Spring Break!
We’ll be thinking about what is great about our community, then make some weird comics about them.

Applications are open for the Alaska Fellows Program, a fall-to-spring residential fellowship that pairs talented young people with professional mentors. Anyone know a post-grad looking for an opportunity... Or just more snow and moose in their lives?

March 7th at Noon, I'm giving a free history talk at Title Wave in Anchorage, about Fur Rondy, jealousy between Alaska cities, & other juicy tales. Below is Fur Rondy season in Anchorage from Green Arrow #8 (1988). More details to come, but if no one shows, I shall run amok.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

We Can Reform the Atrocity Machine My dear constituents, Like you, I am deeply troubled by the Atrocity Machine’s recent activity. It is a stain on our nation, and we must take actio...

Juneau musicians welcome ruling granting breweries unlimited live music Until last month, breweries were limited to hosting four live shows a year. Before 2024, they were banned from having them completely.

The ruling comes right on time for musicians and businesses to start planning for the Alaska Folk Festival in April.

It is kind of crazy that Alaska has more athletes in the winter Olympics than entire countries. And not just warm weather countries! There are more Olympians just from Anchorage than the Icelandic Olympic Team, despite Iceland have a larger population than Anchorage.
