1 Year Later – Adventures and Changes
So it was one year ago today that I left on a fantastic roadtrip around Western North America with my good friend Garth. Garth and I had recently finished working for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games and were in serious need of a good vacation. We had spent a bunch of time in the previous ...
Manhattan Photos
I flew down to New York for the day this past Monday (March 7th, 2011) for the day for an all day meeting. The day started at 3am as I dragged myself out of bed, headed over to the bus stop and realized on the way there that the temperature was around -10 Celsius. It ...
Usage Based Billing (UBB) and why you should care
Ok, there’s a lot of hubbub around this “Usage Based Billing” thing that’s just starting to come into effect up here in Canada. I’m going to explain what it is and why it is a big deal for some of us. Here in Canada we have three big Internet Service Providers (ISP’s), Bell Canada, Rogers Communications ...
Toronto
Ok, so this blog post is a little late. Ok, so this blog post is a *lot* late. I’ve now been in Toronto for a whole month (wow typing that really made me think about it, and that’s gone really fast) and I’m starting to get into the groove of things. But first, we need ...
Days 5 and 6 – The Big Drive
Got up early on day 5 and packed up from the hotel, grabbing a quick breakfast and coffee from the hotel “breakfast” room. Hit the road while it was still dark and got ready for a day of driving across the prairies. Now I never thought that people lied when they said the prairies are ...
Revelstoke to Medicine Hat – Day 4
Ok! Day 4 started off early, I woke up at 6am as the owner of the futon I was staying on was heading off to work, I didn’t have to get up as there were other people there (Hi Lauz!) but it had recently started snowing and I figured an early start was needed. After ...
Vancouver to Revelstoke – Days 1-3
Leaving Vancouver was tough, but it was made a little easier by the rain and general greyness of the area. I headed out over the Golden Ears Bridge and took the Hope – Princeton highway up to my Aunt and Uncle’s ranch. It was snowy and a little chilly, the coldest I saw was -5 ...
Goodbye Vancouver
It is with mixed emotions that I hit the road this morning, fully packed for my move out to Toronto. Yesterday I picked up the Uhaul trailer (with some confusion, it was in another location) and headed to my storage locker that has held my belongings since the end of the Games. I managed to ...
Roadtrip Slideshow
Here is a video of some of the pictures I took earlier this year, set to “First Snow” from The Fountain soundtrack (just to continue my soundtrack theme this week). Let me know what you think below!
Music I like: Soundtracks
Tron: Legacy Motion Picture Soundtrack Oh man, so good! Daft Punk have gone orchestral and created a great soundtrack for the forthcoming Tron:Legacy movie. Sit back, turn it up and enjoy Moon Moon is an interesting, lesser known movie starring Sam Rockwell pretty much by himself. I won’t spoil anything but it’s quite an interesting ...
