Recently I was invited to take part in the final leg of the Great Canadian TDI Diesel Tour with Volkswagen Canada. The premise of the trip was that starting from The Maritimes, teams of drivers would spend a few days each driving a leg of a multipart road trip across Canada. Each leg was to…
And like that, the craziest roadtrip I’ve ever been on is over. We got back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional farewell to the EhTeam as we all went our separate ways after spending the better part of two weeks together in a Chevy Traverse driving nearly 8500 kilometers as we drove…
Last month I traveled around the BC Interior as a guest blogger for my friend Rebecca who couldn’t attend due to prior commitments. Tough break for her…awesome break for me! You can read about the trip including tours of a brewery & a couple of brew pubs, a few wineries, a fabulous hotel & restaurant…
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…
Not really a rant, not a real wishlist but as I approach my 40th birthday next month, I thought I’d come up with a few things that I’d love to get…and I have a feeling some of you will want the same. So here’s my short list, in no particular order, which I may add…
This past weekend, I had an overnight trip to the US with a friend and wanted to be able to use my iPad/iPhone while away from my Rogers 6gb dataplan. The data roaming options from Rogers (all Canadian carriers actually) are far too overpriced for casual use like a quick trip to Seattle, so I…
Today, online movie streaming site, Netflix announced that it is coming to Canada this fall. I had a chance to talk about what this means to Canadians with Lisa Christiansen on CBC Radio One’s On the Coast this afternoon (thanks for capturing it Dave!): CBC Radio One: Netflix coming soon to Canada Canadian pricing and…
But I realized that over the past year, I’ve photographed the three Canadian political party leaders, in Vancouver. Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Conservative) during the Paralympics Michael Ignatieff (Liberal) outside Canada’s Northern House during the Winter Olympics and Jack Layton (NDP) during the 2009 Pride Parade in the West End of Vancouver. Gilles Duceppe has…
Last week, I travelled across Western Canada with a few folks from WOMWorld/Nokia, Michael, April, and Daniel in a RV as part of a cross-Canada promotional tour for Nokia’s latest N-Series smartphone (on Rogers in Canada), the N97 Mini. We started our trip in Vancouver, ending up in Calgary just in time for the Stampede…
Yesterday, at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple unveiled the latest version of the iPhone: You should watch the design video if you haven’t already seen it…it’s quite the update that I of course am looking forward to getting. Unfortunately, as of this writing, we still don’t know when the new model will be…
