My 2010 Games Highlight Reel

ByJohn

I managed to shoot over 17,000 photos and hours of video during the three weeks I was covering the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Whistler, Cypress and even Whitehorse, Yukon for a day.

Here is the 8 minute version of those 3 weeks:

Music: Above & Beyond – World on Fire (12″ Remix)

I managed to kill my DSLR shooting on Cypress Mountain in the rain…it’s in the shop getting looked at so my fingers are crossed. I’m going to miss the first half of the Paralympic Games because I’ll be in Austin, Texas attending South by Southwest but I hope to catch the tail end when I get back….hopefully with a working camera.

A huge thank you to all my friends, family (especially my wife, Stacie), the staff and volunteers at the BC International Media Centre and all those that helped make these Games the amazing, once in a lifetime, experience that it was for me.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making and living it from (mostly) behind the camera.

Aside from the regular attractions at the Aquarium, such…

Bad jokes about the name aside, I’ll be ordering an iPad just as soon as they are available: I’ll probably order the 32gb model with 3G radio. Not 100% sure I’d use the 3G network option but I’d rather have the option…especially since it’s unlocked – which is a big deal by the way. This…

Two weeks with the iPad

ByJohn

As I mentioned previously, iCaved during the iPad launch weekend and drove down to Seattle and picked up a 32gb wifi iPad. My decision to drive across the line to get one was further justified (to me) by the fact that Apple then had to delay the international release of the iPad over a month…
