    – What I did Friday night, and this (say it aloud).  By the time I took it I’d been pounding my keyboard backdating for 3 hours so I’d say that’s a good assessment.  Take the test too: TypingTest.com (Tigers in the Wild).

  • Me Today

  • Exploring ‘Nuit Blanche’

    My night started at the top of the Sheraton Centre for the VIP kickoff event, here I am at the party:

    Shortly after I made that, I met these guys:


    That’s Councillor Kyle Rae and Senior Marketing VP at Scotiabank John Doig.

    Them: What will you do with that photo?
    Me: I’m going to send it to Twitter
    Them: Oh fun, we’ve never been on Twitter
    Me: Well I’ll fix that, and welcome!

    That’s the view from the party, and also the shot you’re gonna see in the papers Monday.  I know because I met two of the night’s official photographers (Hi Luca and Alessandro!), and they kindly said I could use their images in my episode.

    Then I fought blindfolded in a cage-match (sounds more dramatic then it was, the footage is anti-climactic), disco-danced in the Toronto Reference Library and watched some construction cranes dance around the sky.

    The below photo is taken exactly two seconds after I hit the wall and shut it down. Goodnight.

     

     

  • Time to Syndicate

    One handful of people have said to me in the past week to “syndicate yourself, Keri”.  Okay, even though I don’t really get what that means and Wikipedia is zero help – now I’m confused in Latin?  I think it means putting my episodes everywhere.

    When waiting for Keri to go explore the Toronto Botanical Garden last week I cleaned my lens and remembered these guys, Current.com – that’s Al Gore’s internet and TV company that I’d met with forever ago.  

    I’m gonna call my guy Henry there this week and say hello.  I think my Navy episode could make it to TV broadcast, but I’m biased.
