  • I’ve Become Obsessed With These

    It’s a QR Code.  Basically it’s an elaborate bar code that can hold a crazy amount of information.  

    You scan it with your cel phone and then it kicks you to a webpage, offers you a coupon for the shop across the street, really whatever you dream up.  They’re huge in Japan.

    I’ve been racking my brain on how to incorporate them into my show. Any ideas, let me know. 

  • The Shortest Ferry Ride in the World

    It’s right here, in Toronto.april 4 2008


    I went to film an exploration about it all, but nah.  

    I mean, it’s cool that something “in the world” is Canadian but what’s to say?  The 396-foot ride lasts a nanosecond, takes you over to Porter Airlines and that’s that.

  • I’ve Started Doing Parkour

    I found this group online, pkTO.ca and have been going to this gymnastics club on Saturday nights with them.  Not gonna lie, I’m finding it tough; what they call a warm-up I call a workout.

    Did some filming tonight for the upcoming episode, “Exploring Parkour”.march 29 2008

  • Exploring the TTC

    I got it in my head that a great way to learn the city would be to go to every subway stop that exists.  So I set out to do that.  And failed.  That thing is way bigger than I realized.march 23 2008
    Needless to say not much came out of this exploration.  The only mildly interesting part is me driving out to Downsview Station to start the trek. So I took this footage and turned it into promos for my show, you know, that CBC could use.  They didn’t find them nearly as funny as I did. Okay they didn’t like them at all.
    And just to say it, I’d never normally do my hair up so fancy to ride the subway.  I did, and wore white, figuring by the end I’d be all stringy and grey, thereby proving the passage of time.
