Last weekend I was a ‘Maker’ presenter at the third annual Vancouver Mini MakerFaire. I organized the 3D Printer Village for the second year in a row and it was a huge success. Here’s a photo roundup of some of the cool stuff I saw there, including our booth: A number of makers, myself included,…
Yesterday, I headed out to Surrey with my friend Rebecca and we attended the Party For The Planet. In addition to being a large family friendly event celebrating Earth Day, it also featured a free live concert series. I took photos of The Matinee, Hey Ocean and Lights performing before the huge crowd at Central…
After a day of hosting q&a sessions during Fan Expo, the main ballroom at the Vancouver Convention Centre was transformed into the venue for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. I was back again on the red carpet capturing all the nominees, celebrities and VIPs as they entered the ballroom.
Day one of Fan Expo Vancouver was crazy. Tons of great costumes and celebrities invaded the Vancouver Convention Centre. Highlights included Michael Rooker (Merle from the Walking Dead), Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Stan Lee’s awesome Q&A (he got a standing ovation when he came out), David Prowse (Darth Vader) and my personal favorite,…

Most people ask me, upon returning, what was the one ‘big’ thing you saw this year. The last few years have been full of big applications that blew up due to the influx of savvy tech folks in Austin to get exposed to them. This year felt different though…definitely there was no shortage of street teams shoving t-shirts and branded swag in my face for various online services but the obvious vibe I noticed was that it was the “Year of Hardware”.
After a last minute decision, I ended up heading to Seattle for the weekend with my girlfriend. Part of this trip was to check out the Emerald City ComiCon. Turns out I should have planned to spend a lot more time there than I had this time around as the event is massive! I only…
I’ve been to a lot of concerts in my time but can’t remember the last time I was on my feet for 6 hours and it felt like 10 minutes. I guess it helps that I enjoyed every act that performed at the Get Together show at the Pacific Coliseum on February 10th. Blueprint Events…
