I stumbled across this clever animated short film called FULL PRINTED about how 3D printing is useful as well as a potential future of this technology. FULL PRINTED from nueve ojos on Vimeo.

2011 Celebration of Light Fireworks: Spain
I don’t often watch the fireworks from the beach, but thanks to some free tickets, I was able to view them from the bleachers at English Bay. We showed up just before the show started thanks to assigned seating and got out of there as soon as it was over easily. Since I had a…

MakerBotCam is live
I’ve setup a UStream channel for my MakerBot so you can see what I’m currently printing with it. Can’t promise it will always be on but will try to record interesting prints and live stream as much as possible. If you have any suggestions for better/free ‘webcasting/recording’ software that is Mac compatible, drop a comment…

Catamaran cruise of Alaska’s Kenai Fjord National Park
Our first full day in Alaska had us going on a 6+ hour catamaran boat cruise with Kanai Fjord Tours of the Kanai Fjord National Park. Apparently, they rarely get sun in Alaska as the crew kept (jokingly) apologizing for the amazingly warm weather. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt but also brought a…

Glacier Ice Hiking in Seward, Alaska
I just got back from spending the better part of an amazing week in Alaska as part of a media tour for the launch of the new Chevy Volt electric vehicle which will be available in Canada this fall. But more on that part of the trip in a future post. One of the activities…
Volkswagen Freedriving Tour
This weekend, Volkswagen kicked off their cross Canada Freedriving Tour in Coquitlam, BC at the local mall which just happens to be a few minutes from my house. It’s a fun twist on the traditional vehicle test drive where you’re able to get behind the wheel and take any VW for a spin on a…
Birds Up Close at the Vancouver Aquarium
I’m embarrassed to admit it’s be years (possibly 15) since I visited the Aquarium in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Fortunately, I was able to correct that oversight recently when I was invited to check out the new summer exhibit, Birds Up Close which runs until September 5th. Aside from the regular attractions at the Aquarium, such…
Fly Zone skydiving simulator
I spent last Friday afternoon doing something I’ve wanted to do forever – skydiving! Well, in this case, it was simulated in a vertical wind tunnel but as you’ll see, it’s pretty close to the real thing: Out in Delta, Fly Zone Body Flight, gives visitors a chance to experience the feeling of free fall…
I love movie special effects
Last year, I happened upon a strange ‘structure’ that didn’t have any context. I assumed it was part of a movie set but there was no cameras or people or really anything around it: It turned out to be the set for Final Destination 5 which was shot in Vancouver last fall. It also turns…
