  • “Live @ 5” is Dead to Me / I Lost my Roots

    RIP L@F

    The new plan:

    – 3 videos / day
    – checkin online 3 times / day
    – 100-word article / day
    – I’m typing this out more for me than you

  • My Master List

    Don’t wanna jinx anything so I blurred it all out.  And see under my finger?  

    That’s the name of someone I’ve wanted to meet since I read about him in Wired in the 90s.  Swinging for the fences on that one.

  • If We Just Met…

    … a little about me to bring you up to speed.


    Hi, I’m Keri and welcome to my show ‘The Canadian Explorer’.

    – I invented it in June 07
    – got picked up as CBC’s “inaugural made-for-web show Feb 08
    – started this blog Feb 09 and tada…
    I just got hired by Sun Media and Canoe.ca to cover the Olympics

    I believe Canada is the best country in the world to live, but we’re overdue for some nationalistic fervour so that’s the goal – drive coast to coast, documenting my journey online and celebrating Canada with you.

    Links to some favourite things:

    Just my Intro – meet me in 0:18 where I sum it all up, in song

    Exploring the CDN Navy – talked my way onto our largest warship

    Using a Green Screen – I built such a thing in my apartment, but it’s dead to me now 

    – My favourite “Live @5” – a little news program I had, which is also now dead to me

    Me Laughing

    – what my laugh looks like in Final Cut

    …and this is the beginning of my new ‘About Me’ page, to go with my new blog design, coming soon.

  • Re-Built my Laptop Today

    Holy crap does it ever feel better.

    I went to Apple for help, and learned they send all their Genius’ to California for 3 weeks training, and it’s tougher to get certified as a Genius than it is to get admitted to Stanford.
     

     
    That’s the guy you want to help you, Greg at the Sherway Gardens location.  Thanks, dude. 

  • Cleaned my Laptop

    It’s been acting weird for months, look, where’d that come from?

    As IF I would let anything Microsoft touch my laptop, in the same way I don’t download things.  I’m as adamant about that as I am disliking HD.


    That’s the Navy episode, woah eh.  Go Navy.


    Before I deleted things that’s how much space was left on my hard drive, bad I know.

    And of course I opted for the 35 times pass, the DND standard.  

    Don’t get screwed like me though… I set it and went to bed only to wake up to a popup window.  Didn’t work.  It takes a day and a half to complete.
