Canada Line [video]
My first trip on the newly opened Canada Line skytrain only took two minutes to go from downtown to the Airport: UPDATE: Here’s Part Two of the video – the return trip sped up a little bit faster:

More cellphone lens adapters
Nearly every time I’m downtown, I like to stroll through Urban Outfitters as they tend to have an interesting, if overpriced, selection of weird camera gadgets and toys. My recent trip did not disappoint when I found something I’ve head about for probably years, just never saw in person: little plastic lens addons for your…
BikeCam fail
You probably knew this was coming. I bought an $8 camera mount and trusted a $400 camera on it while riding on a bumpy gravel trail. Turns out that the P6000 doesn’t have any stabilization while shooting video so I should have switched back to the much lighter Zi6 camera before pressing on with my…
Hottest day in history at Playland
My sister came to town with her kids this week and wanted to do something fun so we all headed to Playland. It happened to be the hottest day on record in Vancouver…so needless to say, it was freakin’ hot. Special thanks to Phil @ Virgin 95.3 for hooking us all up with some passes…
Who is John Biehler?
Robert Lee, the ‘Voice’ of Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel made a custom voicemail greeting for me after I mentioned on Twitter about how cool it would be if he did…as if I needed any more reasons why the internet is awesome! I added the theme music and title card….Robert even sent me a couple…
More iPhone 3GS video comparisons
Actually, this isn’t about the quality of the iPhone 3GS video which is surprisingly good, but rather of what it looks like when you upload it to an online service. When you shoot some video, you have a number of options to get it online. Unfortunately, all of them seem to currently suck unless you…
Live from the Couch
Today, I stopped off at the Bootup Labs/Strutta offices and did a guest spot on the couch with Jordan for a holiday edition of Couch Beers. We chatted about Jordan’s upcoming iPhone acquisition, MobileMe, steps to secure your iPhone, some of my favourite applications and a new piece of gear I just picked up (which…
One reason Kia is a fun car company
I’ve had my Kia Soul for just over a month now and it’s still a fantastic car that I really enjoy driving. Kia’s done a great job at promoting this car, including this very creative video shot on the docks where my actual car would have sat before heading to Canada: and I just stumbled…
Comparing the iPhone 3GS Video
After finally acquiring a shiny new iPhone 3GS, I started playing around with the new camera and video features. Rather than talk about it, I thought showing the video on a number of different online services would better illustrate it. So this is handheld iPhone 3GS landscape video shot while driving over the newly opened…

Sailing with Bluewater Adventures
This past Friday, I was invited to attend a special media boat cruise up Indian Arm aboard the 68′ ketch, the Island Odyssey. Yeah, I know it’s my second nautical themed event this week, life is rough sometimes. The purpose of the event was to let the local community know more about Bluewater Adventures which…
