Killer apps

July 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m not planning on buying an Iphone yet; maybe in the fall — but this is the type of cheap application that would push me ever closer to giving Rogers/Apple more of my money. And this isn’t even the official one from Flickr. Flickr by XK72 @ Apple itunes app store

Brixton 2008

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

The Tiger boys (and Oli @ Rekognize) do well by representing Brixton; a brand new site has just launched that’s a definite upgrade. This should help them inform the masses to how rad Brixton is. “Our good hommies at Brixton have been on fire the past year! These boys have expand their collections, served up hot […]

Typographers and their handwriting

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

Great blog post from “The Man In Blue” with thoughts and comparison on some great typographers; their fonts and their handwriting. There’s a couple in here which I love; and would use as fonts themselves! “The handwriting of typographers intrigues me because it raises so many questions, big and small: Do typographers exert some extraordinary control of […]

Dustin Humpfrey and the Dopamine Series

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

Insight has gone beyond the high level of creative they’ve already achieved with this ridiculous series of photos (Some NSFW). I can’t imagine the work this took in setup, timing and hoping for the perfectly framed shot. “Insight has launched an impressive art installation series entitled Dopamine, from setting up underwater art installations with surf actions […]

Wilson is now an outdoor cat

July 9th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Wilson Our cat now goes outdoors. Thank god. I owe it all to Linda who pushed him out the door while I was in Mexico — and showed me he’d be fine. He seems much happier now and apart from one bad fight (which we assume he lost) has been the king of the back alley. It […]

Bertha on the way

July 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Cool side note - swellinfo.com is now adding in better information on these storms… “We just upgraded the Swellinfo wave model to incorporate the GFDL […]

MTL is hot

July 7th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Pretty damn hot ‘round these parts — MTL feels like the northern most tropic today. Should be a sticky week ahead. These are the days I wish MTL was 5 minutes — Not 5 Hours from the ocean (actually I pretty much wish for that daily). http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363

Fantasia 2008

July 4th, 2008 · No Comments

The lack of blog posts/tweets and sleep over the past couple weeks has been due to us racing to get out the Fantasia 2008 site. Trying to improve it every year and thankfully we have the process down — in order to run through close to 1000 images (films and graphics) in a week. Whew** . I’m […]
