This year I decided (at practically the last minute) to submit a panel idea for SXSW Interactive 2010 that will be held in March next year. Regular viewers of this site know that I attend and love SXSW and 2010 will mark my fifth year heading down to Texas. So what’s the panel called? “Do…
Been super busy with a lot of photography projects this summer and it’s been an absolute blast so far. First up (and most recently) was Worldwide Photowalk day, last Saturday, July 18th. This was a hugely organized event happening all over the world with local photowalks submitting their best photos up to the main site…
Last week, Vancouver hosted it’s first CupCakeCamp at WorkSpace. It helped to raise $540 for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. I brought my camera along and skipped dinner: Organized by the @awesome (that’s right) Stephanie and helped out by a bunch of great volunteers, it was a huge success. Check out my full set of…
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…
George Hotz is at it again…this time he’s brought the purplera1n down on the iPhone hacking community with his super simple jailbreak tool that is now out for Mac and PC users running the 3.0 firmware. Running this app with a connected iPhone (3G, 3GS, 2G) will jailbreak it and after a reboot, drop an…

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…
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…
This topic came up on Twitter today and I thought it might be worthy of a post. Lots of people ask me (and other photographers) what camera should they buy, and quite often: which is better: Canon or Nikon? I’m personally a Nikon guy for a simple reason: when I decided to get a DSLR,…
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…
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…
