In day 2 of VEDA I take it to the streets, literally. The TTC was offering free rides on a vintage streetcar in the east end of Toronto; I made the trek with a couple friends to ride a retro rocket. Continue reading A Streetcar Named Designer
In day 1 of VEDA I survey my friends to find out if any of them know what the heck I do every April. Their answers might surprise you. Continue reading April Dawns
April 2010, April 2011, April 2012, April 2013, and now, April 2014. Five years ago I started keeping a video diary of the month of April, YouTubers call it VEDA – Video Every Day in April. While I found that uploading a video every single day for 30 days straight was incredibly time consuming and a creative drain, I still found myself inclined to do it … Continue reading Five Years of Vlogging
It’s Oscar night and the red carpet pre-show is already under way. And it has been for hours! The pre-show is even longer than the actual show. I’m not sure when the red carpet coverage became such a huge deal, but I’m mostly glad it has. I love checking out what everyone is wearing, both for the beautiful gowns as well as the horrible fashion … Continue reading Get Your Fash-On
As of this moment (the date of this posting), it has been exactly 1,879 days since I last had a Coca-Cola. That is 5 years, 1 month, and 22 days; or 28 weeks and 3 days; or 45,069 hours; or 2,705,760 minutes; or 162,345,600 seconds. It’s been a long time. On New Year’s Eve, 2008, I made the decision to have my last Coke ever. … Continue reading GIF Saturday|Thirst Quencher Edition

A lot of (grumpy) people hate Valentine’s day because they thinks it’s a corporate money grab, they consider it a made up holiday, they hate candy—there are many reasons floating around to hate this day. But what even is this day? I wanted to find out once and for all, so here is a quick history lesson on Saint … Continue reading Go Kiss Someone
Another one courtesy of Google+ and auto-awesome. Here is a GIF of my cat, at first acting a little camera shy, before eventually giving in and looking up and showing off her adorable face (and apparently cold, shark-eyes). After successfully coercing her into posing for me I have decided to enter her into cat show business. I’m going to start touring the cat audition circuit … Continue reading GIF Saturday|Caturday Edition
When you’re a kid, chances are you don’t have much to think about beyond what’s for dinner and what you’re going to ask for for your birthday or Christmas. And not even necessarily in that order. I’m sure everyone can remember a time when there was a new toy that was so lustworthy that you couldn’t go a day without thinking about it, you dreamt … Continue reading Gifts I’m Glad I Never Got
May 4, 2011 My last day in Paris started when I woke up this morning and I used all the packing skills I learned from my dad to make my backpack as efficient as possible—after all, this morning was dedicated to souvenir shopping. Inevitably, there are several items in my bag that I didn’t use at all while in Paris, taking up valuable knick knack … Continue reading À Bientôt, Paris!
I LOVE GIFS! Yep, I love ’em. Traditionally I haven’t been very good at expression my feelings but this is no secret. I’ll shout it from the rooftops; I LOVE GIFS! Because of this love I am bringing back GIF Saturdays. Not every Saturday, though, because that’s lot of GIFs; and I want to make that I post quality GIFs, which is why I’m starting … Continue reading GIF Saturday|Human Edition
