I’ve bought a lot of skateboard magazines over the years. As I’ve mentioned before; these magazines provided an escape from the rural area that I started skating in — they connected me with so many other likewise people and opened my mind to a lot of culture I might have never seen.
Luckily I still have [...]

Last night was a beautiful Sunday night in Montreal.
We took a walk up St. Laurent, across St. Joseph and down St Denis back to Roy (map).

Came across this time lapse video by Ross Ching…
“…links directly to a QuickTime movie (17.6MB). A series of time lapse sequences edited together into one short film. Rather unique in that the camera pans (& tilts) during the time-lapses. Nicely done.”

Snowy scene by the church
Snow started fluttering down around lunch today and kept at it ’til 8pm or so.
Some in our office have said their goodbyes to winter; so this came as a cold-wet-downer.

I walked past it that night and there were still flames at 7pm.
Some of our clients work 2 buildings down and where evacuated due to intense smoke. Even people 2 blocks away really felt the burn/punch [...]

Gern (seen on the right in the above photo), got a great write up about the new “Chick Pickin’ Mondays” at Grumpy’s Bar…
“On the surface, he may be one of the last guys you’d expect to champion the cause of this city’s coterie of women singers and musicians. [...]
