During the holidays, I came across a boxing day deal for the Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB wireless SD card. I’ve written about these Eye-Fi cards before but this is a much newer version with some key differences that address the previous model’s shortcomings. These memory cards are unique in that in addition to being memory…
I got to see something today that really impressed me…and that takes a lot. The folks at northStudio360 have been working on some very cool 360° video technology and showcased their latest project today. Working with the stunning Nimmo Bay Resort (I haven’t been), which is a heli-adventure and fly fishing lodge on Vancouver Island,…
Well, not really…but kinda. I’ve been using a fake Leica iPhone 4 skin on my iPhone for a few months now and it’s been amazing the response I get from people when they see it: But wanted something a little different. Then I found this guy’s ebay listing for something a little more up my…
I first heard about Arduino from a friend that was learning about them in her industrial design class at the Emily Carr Institute and finally picked up my first one towards the end of August: I ended up giving a talk about Arduino at BarCamp Vancouver in November…more of a geeky show and tell really…

My recent trip to Whistler was filled with good times including getting to be on hand for the 2010 FIBT World Cup bobsleigh and skeleton events at the Whistler Sliding Centre. I never had a chance to visit the Sliding Centre during the Olympics (I couldn’t be everywhere at once!) so it was especially cool…
Last weekend, I finally got a chance to check out Ziptrek Eco Tours in Whistler. I’ve been meaning to take a tour since I first got to experience them during the Winter Olympics. As you can see from the above photo, Whistler was a full on winter wonderland the day I went on the ‘Bear‘…
Later this week, the Pan Pacific Vancouver will be hosting the 23rd Annual Christmas Wish Breakfast on Tuesday, November 30th from 6 to 9 am. I’ve been invited to photograph of all the festivities so will be there for the whole morning. If you’d like to help support the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, simply come…
So I’m about to do something I’ve never done on this site before – give away something! Since I like taking photos, I’m hoping this is a slightly more interesting entry process. My friends at Whistler/Blackcomb have given me a sweet little prize pack to give to my readers/followers. All you have to do is…
