Sacs de Douche à Québec- Part 3
My awesome Quebec rail trip wraps up, as does my snowboard photography career.
Anonymous Internet Hate
Working predominantly on the Internet, especially in these wonderful days of web 2.0, is awesome. Not only is the Internet endless, meaning you can write just about anything you want, (and I've got some good random ideas I've finally been able to bring to fruition thanks to Yobeat) but you get to know exactly what everyone else thinks of it, practically minutes after it's posted! No more waiting around for letters in the mail, which people rarely even bothered to write. Even before you could comment on everything, it was a matter of someone actually opening their mail program and writing an email. Then that email would actually say where…

Entourage Season 5. It’s really here!
So I, like pretty much everyone else I know who watches television, have been anxiously awaiting the return of Entourage. And while I know you could probably find some pirate site to watch it free online, or just wait until it comes out on DVD, I need it in real time. So at 7:30 on Sunday, I called Comcast and added HBO to my cable package. Of course when I called and asked to add it, the girl on the other end of the line simply replied, "getting ready to watch Entourage?" I confirmed and then made sure to complain about how expensive cable was in a witty way, because…

Recapturing my Youth with 9-0
Now that I have decided I will be 25 for the rest of my life, it's important that I keep up with what the kids are into. But I felt like a real failure when my short attention span and general busyness prevented me from appreciating that 90210 was coming back. Yeah, I'd seen the ads and heard rumors about the return of Brenda, etc., but it hadn't really set in what this all meant. It wasn't until Sarah Morrison responded to my IM yesterday with "90210 starts tonight" that I realized I should be really excited about this. I mean, I loved the original. We even had a party…

Closer to God
If you've been to my house, then you've no doubt commented on the neighborhood eyesore, a.k.a. the Apostolic Faith church. When I was house shopping, I almost didn't come look at my house. Not because of its proximity to the church, but because it really didn't look like much in the pictures. But I figured why not, and the real estate agent brought me in from the east, so I never laid eyes on the church until after I had already toured my house and decided it was the one. Of course, when I left the house, I made it a point to drive out the opposite direction to check…

The Future is Now
I am a big fan of making web videos. Not so much of watching them, but I love to make them and post them and then watch the traffic add up. But my issue with Youtube is that whole 100 mb limit. Unless your video is 30 seconds long, it's near impossible to make it look like anything other than crap when you compress it to under 100 mb. And never fail I would export my finished video to find it was 101 mb, meaning I would have to lower the quality even more to get it to load. It was a travesty really. But everything has changed now that…
