Weekly Poll: R.I.D.E. Checks vs Social Media
Following one of many holiday parties in December, I endured a 5 minute traffic delay as a result of a Reduced Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) check. When it was my turn to speak with the Officer, I declared that I was the designated driver, having consumed a handful of club sodas over the course the [...]

Top 10 of 2010: Nuit Blanche in Kingston
The day before this top ranking post was published, I was racking my brain to come up with a great, arts-centric poll. I settled on proposing an all-night arts spectacle after reading numerous reviews from Torontonians who had attended Nuit Blanche that very same weekend. I had no idea the post would go on to [...]

With Kingstonist’s third birthday just over three months away, the team has been discussing the future direction of the site. I’m going to withhold the exciting details for the time being, partly because we want to have something to surprise you with on the big day, but moreso because we’re not quite ready for show [...]

The Results Are In
When the polling stations opened yesterday morning, there was no shortage of speculation and optimism about who would win Kingston’s Mayoral race, as well as the district contests for councillor, and school board trustee. Now, I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit that I was considerably disappointed with the final tally for Mayor, [...]

Weekly Poll: Nuit Blanche in Kingston

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Indie Rock Band
During my teenage years, I unfortunately had very limited exposure to the local indie music scene. Whether it was simply in short supply in small town Ontario, or lingered in the shadows of what was being sold on radio and music video stations, my introduction to homegrown, emerging acts was somewhat delayed. After living in [...]

Local Trends on Twitter
In light of tonight’s Limestone New Media Group (LNMG) meetup, the first session of the New Year, I thought that today’s post should focus on an aspect of social media. Just before Kingstonist’s first birthday, we caved and joined the tweeting masses. While we’ve been on Twitter for less than a year, @kingstonist has already [...]

Media Lies by Celia Piper
While I was out gallivanting in the Ottawa Valley this past weekend, I missed one of my favourite annual events. I’m not referring to the 1,000 Islands Music Festival, rather the 28th annual Women’s Art Festival Kingston, which took place last Sunday in City Park. Over the years, this event has grown to showcase the [...]
