Dorian (aka Pema) Web and Print Marketing Guy

Dude check this hot picture of me. Pictures that make me look hot... I'm into them. I have a lot of fun electronic equipment and here you get to see exactly half of it. This is me in my old place in Gordon Head.
-Dorian the web designer.

If you could have any superhero superpowers what would they be and why?
If I could make electronic music, and record, sample and play it back and perform it without needing equipment, that would be really really cool. Or maybe my superpower should be just having all the equipment and being able to use it proper. I dunno.

What do you like best about working at this place?
Well check it out: my studio is in my room, two feet from my bed. When I meet with Kevin, I go to his place (two minutes bike ride away), or his office (downstairs), or my place, and when I need something from the staff, they're literally like 20 feet away.

What's your sign?
Pisces (bit of leo and virgo in there too) real sensitive and stuff, also analytical, transcendental and practical, spiritual and scientific, indecisive, weird... I'm just a really weird kid. For what it's worth.

Where have you traveled to?
The weirdest place I've ever been is Venus. It's extremely hot, for one thing, and dry, and really cloudy. Everything's kind of orange, but the most amazing thing is the landscape, it's... just really extreme.

Where would you like to go next?
Montreal, Bhutan... Anywhere outside North America, really. I think this whole continent is weird. Even though I've grown up here. It's cool, and interesting, and the internet is fast and cheap, but this place is really strange.

If you could be any side dish which would you be, and why?
Sushi, because it's so perfect, and you can never really get sick of it, and it's lovely and practical and tasty. I can really get passionate about sushi.

What rules about Victoria?
Second Story Cafe, Ocean Island, my friends... the beauty of Yates St, Chinatown and Old Town in the summer, Lucky Bar, Thursdays, the organic food, cigars....

Favorite OI inspired moment?
Some good open mic times... and those late-night marketing meetings with Kevin, where we end up talking about ridiculous plans for dividing up the rooms into even smaller sections..

Dorian joined us in 2004, working on the site, making it rock. Since then he worked in the office full time, and has since travelled off to Toronto, to rock that city. He also makes tons of electronic music ..
