… 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
– 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.
Hey, Keri,
I just learned from this post that ‘Live at 5’ is now dead to you but, frankly, I think that’s a good idea.
I admire the idea of the discipline behind it but you’re not CBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC…..you don’t have a giant organization behind you, and committing yourself to a daily news broadcast is a quick way to burn yourself out unnecessarily. It will be great if you can do that at the Olympics but I think aiming for later in the day makes more sense and it will still be only for the few weeks of the Olympics.
As super as I (and many others) think you are, you’re still not ‘SuperGirl’ with super powers.
I truly admire your normal powers, your focus, and your dedication, but I can’t emphasize enough how important I feel it is for you to *keep it fun!!!* and not stress yourself beyond that.
When you’re a major star, which I truly believe you could become, and you have a major broadcast operation behind you, you’ll be in a very different situation but that’s not where you are at the moment.
Keep it fun and it will be fun for us, your major fans, and, of course, for you!
I’m so proud of you. Have fun with it all! Can’t wait to live thr Olympics through your eyes. That’s my favorite pose at the moment too :)
That’s a nice picture of you… (Thank You! ;)
Lucian – You’re not the only one to tell me saying see ya later to "Live @ 5" is a good thing. Including myself. Not having to do it today was fantastic!
That’s solid advice you’ve written there, I’ll remember it.
And ya, if it’s not fun I don’t wanna do it :)
Casie – Thanks lady, and re: the pose, I’m not surprised #sames
Scott – Ahahaha. And don’t worry, I’ll make up for it with the ones you love to hate :)
