Seen and Heard in Edmonton

Here’s what caught my eye blog-wise this week, with a sprinkling of video and audio along the way:

Alex Scucatto got a lot of deserved praise and attention for his lovely video of things he likes about Edmonton. Find it here on his blog (that’s a screen capture above).

Some posts on various comings and goings:

• Kendall Barber bids farewell to City and Dale, the groundbreaking blog and “open love letter” to Edmonton that she founded five years ago.
• The Unknown Studio podcast is back after an extra-long summer break with an interview with Ramin Ostad and Anita Bourgeois about Extra Life Edmonton.
• And the Inglorious Hipsters comic is on hiatus, though the podcast goes on (as does the team’s plan to broadcast its Extra Life gaming marathon on Twitch).

Some business-related posts of interest:

• Dana DiTomaso shares the results of a survey of email marketers on what happened after CASL (Canada’s anti-spam legislation).
• Tema Frank explores how she overcame her mathphobia to use data to learn about improving the customer experience. 
• Earth’s General Store’s blog talks about being cash-mobbed.
• Bill Thompson imagines a very entrepreneurial Gretel.

What else? Lots.

• Baconhound’s Phil Wilson praises three Edmonton food trucks that won his heart with their sandwiches.
• On VV Boutique Style, Nicole Rowan takes a man thrift-shopping for the first time.
• Jenna Marynowski reviews Ronnie Burkett’s improvised marionette show, The Daisy Theatre.
• On the Blitz Conditioning blog, Steven Hodges reveals what he has accomplished in a year of pursuing fitness.
• Lawrence Herzog tells the history of the Crawford Block on the Edmonton City as Museum Project.
• Linda Hoang throws a birthday party for her pup at Doggy Style Deli.
