Co-operative Auto Network

Believe it our not, we at Rebus Creative are able to run a thriving business without owning a car or having to rely on the bus system or expensive cab rides. If you don’t need a car every day, consider joining the car co-op. Find out more at www.cooperativeauto.net.

The Tyee.ca

There are probably plenty of sources for regional media on the web, but this is our favourite “fiesty” spot for opinionated, thoughtful and progressive news and views. www.thetyee.ca.

Free Will Astrology

Okay, we might be just a teensy bit flakey when we want to be, right? If you miss the San Francisco-based Rob Brezsny’s weekly horoscopes in the Westender, you can read them (and more) at www.freewillastrology.com.

Craig’s List

Another San Francisco connection: Sherry swears by this cyber-bulletin board of postings for jobs, barter, housing, community events and, well, just about everything else. www.vancouver.craigslist.org.

Triple J

Quite possibly the best (format-free) radio station in the world. Listen to the live stream along with the Australian public, with an 18-hour time difference. www.abc.net.au/triplej/
