About

Spectacle Vancouver is a witness to and a record of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. I do not go looking for causes, but sometimes they land on my doorstep and refuse to go away. A librarian by profession, I seek to extract themes and perspectives from a flood of information and a chaos of events.

This effort is dedicated to Micaiah ben Imlah, who stood up to a king notorious for megaprojects, land grabbing, and military adventurism. Read I Kings 22.
