This is one of the best Flickr compilations on a single subject I’ve seen yet. The quality and range is amazing. As always, seeing excellent photos makes me want to run out and buy an expensive Digi SLR – but my photo taking habits are more for memory and archival purposes than for beautiful composition […]

Uovo has a short little interview with me for their 7 minute egg series. These guys are tons of fun, with seemingly endless illustrative talent. Luke has worked on numerous projects with us and has always amazed me with the ease at which he can pop-off ridiculous quality drawings. Thanks guys ! Go look at […]

This past weekend I finally convinced Linda she needed to get out of the city and take a break for 2 days of camping/tanning/swimming. Everyone else from our crew had plans or bowed out and the swell forecast didn’t look epic as of Thursday night. We left montreal at 6 am on Saturday. Forecast had […]

I cut my hair short on the weekend — short enough that you can see the two large scars on the left and right front sides of my head. They aren’t of the frankenstein variety but they are fairly large. I’ve always been a bit self conscious about these but have decided to accept them […]

I’m a big fan of Nintendo. I always have been. I’m pretty picky about any games I play – partly cause I feel some kind of guilt about playing games in the first place – when I should be reading/socializing/bettering my life in some other manner. I have owned a couple Nintendo systems mainly cause […]

Surfer mag has a nice little history piece on Malibu. I know i’ll paddle out there one day — like so many other spots that are on “tourista” list. Nice to know the background of these famous places and where parts of surf culture come from. Good read. “The Chumash named the point “humaliwu” which […]

The Dalai Lama has been made an honorary Canadian citizen. Couple of quotes I like from him, “In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.” “This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy […]

Another hurricane has formed and is heading towards the east coast. Florence is expected to generate a swell window in the NE from late Saturday through most of the week. These storms regularly produce some very solid ground swell, as we saw last week first hand – Let’s just hope the winds cooperate! Saturday will […]

I’ve been playing with Brain Age for the DS Lite. It’s an educational game that’s designed to be played a little each day “Each session includes such brain-training activities as high-speed reading, drawing from memory, fast math problems, and Stroop tests.” I started off with a “Brain Age” of 46 which isn’t too bad, and […]

This past weekend lived up the hype. Pretty much went down exactly as we thought it would be with the exception of having an awesome sunny day yesterday instead of rain. Arrived at The Wall on Saturday morning to find the winds howling and the ocean a washing machine of 6-8 foot waves. Absolutely no […]
