  • More Douglas Coupland Art

    Maybe you’ve seen a giant red canoe from the Gardiner Expressway near the Spadina on-ramp:

    There’s some fantastic colourful sculptures back in there, too, and today I noticed giant tents being put up, so I investigated and turns out there’s a big party being thrown to open Toronto Park, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the  Mayor will be there too.  

    And I’m really hoping Douglas himself will be there, because I’m going to try to crash said party and meet him since, as I’ve said, he’s been in my top 3 authors of my life.  Really though, I’ll probably get all star struck and reticent, so here’s hoping I don’t.

  • Cleaned Off My Camera

    Here’s some photos I’ve taken over the past weeks but didn’t fit into other posts, so I put them all together:

    – you look through that thing and see the image in the circle in 3D
    – that satellite farm needs to be explored, I found it not far from here .  It’s part of Telesat, the world’s 4th largest satellite service providers (it operates 26 satellites), carries Bell stuff and 200+ of our TV channels
    – there’s a second Chinatown in Toronto, East Chinatown, on Gerrard Street East here 
    – Toronto’s largest movie studio down by the water changed it’s name to that from Filmport


    – my friend’s phone needs more people texting it
    – kinda the design I have in my head for my team’s jerseys next year
    – haircut day

    – that’s where the ghost lives, this one
    – I found the ‘Cirque de Soliel’ tents going up the other day, the show will be here on Commissioners Street
    – HOW are the leaves changing already?

    – that’s how I measure things in Photoshop
    – I’m not scared of that
    – that sculpture, here, is not squishy.  Finally recently touched it after a year of wondering 

    – official Olympic Jewellery from Birks, click that link to view the collection
    – that’s just for me, so when I again forget the code to unlock my radio I can look it up

    I swear I just got wing-tipped.

    Rushing to get my errands done so I can go home and make a sign bidding farewell to my pilot pals #I’mLikeAn8YearOldSometimes

  • Me Tonight

    Caved, closed my laptop, going out.

    Some ruckus, and I met a falconer.

  • This is the “Exploring Sound” Guy

    I’d sat down to blog but an old friend from out-of-town called, so see ya later blog.

    september 5 2009

    Had some laughs, caught up and tried to invent a nickname for him because turns out he’s never had one and would like to; I said I’d ask the internet to leave suggestions in the comments.

    His real name is Jesse and the one I’m talking about here.  

    Me: When you do the thing where you set up your giant speakers for a demo, can we play my theme song?
    Him: Yup
    Me: And Bjork and Britney?
    Him: Yup
    Me: I’m pumped, when can we do this?
    Him: Ahhh, well there was such a thing, back in May…. oh…
    Me: I have some nickname suggestions for you now
