This morning I had the pleasure of having breakfast with Jeff Pulver and a few dozen other fine folks at Enigma in Vancouver. Considering it was a pretty early start on a Sunday morning, it was a pretty big turnout. Jeff organizes these ‘social media breakfasts’ all over the world. Using tools like Twitter and…
Now that the Christmas dust has settled, the turkey has been eaten and, at least in Canada, the Boxing Day/Week sales are winding down, what did you get? Any cool gadgets? My wife and I don’t exchange gifts during the holidays, we simply spoil our nieces and nephew and then get what we wanted after…
Apple recently updated the AppleTV software to version 2.3 and I finally updated after seeing Christina’s post about Boxee. I had signed up for a Boxee account awhile ago and finally got my invite last week. Watch this quick video to see why Boxee is pretty cool: quick intro to boxee from boxee on Vimeo….
I shot this video awhile ago and never posted it here for some reason. Shot at night with my 10.5mm fisheye lens on the Nikon D90 from the backseat of a Mini Cooper S while driving from downtown Vancouver to the north shore.
A while ago, Paul & Mike called me up and asked if I’d be interested in working on a project with them. You may have seen their work in London Drugs and a ton of Apple resellers from here to California. They are planning a huge expansion into the US shortly so it’s pretty exciting…

It worked pretty well and like that camcorder, has unfortunately been collecting dust in my garage for a few years now. I thought it might be…
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this camera to be released since I first heard about it during the summer. Previously, I commented about the fact that most point and shoot cameras do a great job of capturing video so didn’t really see a need for a dedicated video camera on the low end of the…
I’ve only barely had time to play with the D90 video mode – let alone even get familiar with all the controls and options but here’s a couple videos taken with in HD mode (720p, 24fps, 1280×720) – nothing remotely fantastic, just what I’ve had time to do so far: A tripod would have been…
Literally behind the scenes of the filming of a special effect scene for the kids(!) movie “Cats and Dogs 2” that has been filming near my office this past week: I had a much better vantage point earlier: but was continually moved back by the crew…so I decided to go to my car which just…
