After reading Miss 604’s post about a promotion as part of the upcoming Simpsons movie to convert some 7-11’s into Kwik-E-Marts…and the fact that is was actually happening not too far from home (the only one in Canada), I decided I had to check it out. As I was just about to leave, my friend…
I finally got past my long list of excuses for not using my recently purchased kayak and took it for it’s inaugural run. Costco had a deal that I passed up last year that I couldn’t pass up this year. I’ve had inflatable watercrafts before (including a fun sit-on inflatable kayak) but it just isn’t…
Earlier this month I grabbed my camera and attended a photowalk in Gastown with a bunch of other photographers. Here’s the fruits of that labour which involved a couple hours of wandering around Gastown, ending up with a cold beer and a full memory card. The best part was freaking out people who happened to…
Signups have started for the 2007 installment of BarCamp Vancouver on August 17th/18th. I’ve never been to a BarCamp before and I missed it here last year. I also never got to it when I was in Austin for SXSW the past couple of years either so I don’t want to miss this chance. I’m…

I’m currently at the Super Happy Dev House at Bryght…things are just getting going. More photos here. Update: Back home after a fun day/night at the SHDH….had a great time meeting some cool peeps and taking some pix….yeah that every word is a link thing doesn’t work so well when you have more links than…
Playing with my zoom lens out the window to the backyard:
I’ve always liked these kinds of photos and got inspired to go out and play on the highway overpass last night: I still need to play around with the raw versions of these pictures and see if I can get some cool HDR photos out of them. Note the yellow ‘dashed’ light on the first…
Robert Scoble has posted his video of the Digital Photography session Kris Krug put on at Northern Voice that I attended last February. This is the session that helped reignite my interest in photography after being away from it for awhile. Since that time I’ve posted over 2200 photos to my Flickr account. I can’t…
I saw a twitter from Laughing Squid that he was talking with Justin.tv and grabbed a screencap and posted it on Flickr. So it’s kinda (not really) like I took Scott’s picture: I made a point of saying hi to Scott and his wife at Northern Voice as I’ve been admiring his photos for awhile…
