  • Taken the Exact Moment I Hit ‘Send’

    january 27 2009
    My Discovery guy today sent me Jon’s email, the guy in charge of all things internet at CTV.  So using his name from the email I went through the switchboard, found him, and now we are booked for coffee this Thursday!

    This all happened while waiting for Jody at Starbucks, who then helped me with my business card design… by deleting a lot of it.  

    Jody: Do you really need your photo? 
    Keri:  Ya, I’m like a real estate agent that way.
    Jody: No.
    Jody: Where’s your email?
    Keri:  Woah, I totally forgot it.
    Jody: It’s alright, they’ll just use your BB PIN here.
    Us:    Cackle cackle. 

  • Might Be Stressed About My Website

    Last night I dreamed that 3 people came into my apartment, glued my eyes shut and proceeded to steal my laptop, hard drives, all of it.  

    While stumbling around blind trying to stop them I yelled, “Losers! I have all your cel numbers and I’m gonna triangulate you!”.january 25 2009

  • Exploring The PATH

    Tonight I went on a scavenger hunt through The PATH organized by the Toronto Exploration Society .

    The Eaton Company started The PATH back in 1900 and now the thing is 27km long, making the world’s largest underground complex. And today is the final day of the week-long “world’s largest underground sidewalk sale”.  

    We had to find and photograph 30 different things in the fastest time possible.  Winner: 1.6 hours, me: double that.  I got lost, really.  Betcha I had more fun though.january 23 2009

  • Exploring Art with Eldon

    Meet Eldon Garnet, an elite Canadian artist.  If you live in Toronto for sure you’ve passed by some of it, he makes giant stuff.  We’re at Bar-Italia (warning: music plays).

    He’s also written 4 books, was the guy behind Impulse Magazine for 15 years, teaches at the OCAD and is a photographer as well.  I don’t much like his photographs though so can’t speak to that.

    Thanks for a great lunch Eldon!  And like the screenshot I chose for below?
