Perfectly Windy Sky

Now, I know I’m not alone in the struggle against procrastination.  We’ve all seen the jokes about “Procrastinators Anonymous Meeting – Tomorrow” and the like.  What is it that makes people procrastinate?  In general, it’s not as if the thing you’re avoiding is going to magically go away.  You will still have to do them! …

 While I know it’s only pre-season and, therefore, doesn’t officially count, I’m still giddy at the whoopin’ the New Orleans Saints gave the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday’s game.  I suppose my enthusiasm is enhanced by the fact that we have to wait 8 months after the playoffs for football season to start again. The…

For all the design geeks out there (and those who love them), this is a 5-minute clip about letterpress printing.  It’s such an old-fashioned process and still so beautiful and tactile compared to standard offset or digital printing.  The process itself, literally, makes an impression.  

I recently went to see a film called Helvetica which is about the 50th anniversary of the typeface called…you guessed it….Helvetica.  It’s a face which most people have seen countless times in their lives, likely without ever noticing it.  It’s actually a brilliantly-designed face – extremely legible, tidy and all around very clean shapes.  It…

Wait! What’s this? A blog entry that has nothing to do with Geocaching? lol I’ll save that one for another entry!  ;-p Someone on a mailing list that I subscribe to posted a link to a YouTube trailer for something called the Post Secret Project.  Basically, a couple of years ago, this guy started a…

As you may have guessed, this entry is about my latest geocaching expedition! lol I went out this afternoon to Burnaby Lake Park with the coordinates in hand for three of the caches that were hidden in the area.  I parked my car at the film studio where my partner is working this weekend and…

Ok, so I’m about to out myself as a total dork here, but I have just started a new hobby that I’m totally excited about called Geocaching.  I was out for a walk in the park by my house last year and came across a lady who was looking around like she was lost or…

I just wanted to say that I have yet to be disappointed by the service I’ve gotten from the HP support folks.  It’s not many companies that have 24/7 live chat support via their web sites.  And, of the ones who may have it, I’d be even more surprised if the people manning the support…

I’m watching clips from the CNN/YouTube Democratic Debate.  Damn!  I missed it when it was on TV – since I don’t usually watch the news (too much negativity and fear-based spin for my taste), I didn’t know it was even happening. I have to say, I’m quite excited at the concept of YouTube and CNN…

I’ve always been a night person, but this is ridiculous!  I now consistently find myself awake at 4am thinking that I should have gone to bed hours ago.  Tonight/this morning is no exception.  My mind just won’t quit…a million things flitting about this way and that.  Calgon take me away! I’ve never been an early…
