Updates and random fun!

Ok. So I went to Vidfest and was super inspired by Dooce, the sassiest female blogger ever and MightyGirl’s Maggie Mason.

Then, I went to the Vancouver Apple Store launch and waited in line for 2 hours and cried because i didn’t get a free t-shirt until they gave me one out of pity and embarrassment. And then upon returning home, I realized the t-shirt was sooo big I could fit my entire body inside it.

Then I accidentally URLed my blog on a few iMacs in the store. Oops. And I realized that there wasn’t anything in the store to see that I hadn’t seen when I went to the London Apple Store.

Of course, I took all sorts of video and photos at these awesome events, but I’ve had so little time to set up my MB Air and my MB slowed down to G4 stylez last night because I packed it so full of media goodness that it had no room to breathe. It was gasping and overheating and complaining a lot, so I’ve decided to take a good chunk of today and spend it on sorting my heaps of GBs, reformatting my MB, reinstalling Leopard on my MB, and digging into the MB air.

iJustine/eJustine reminded me about some software that I always forget about when my machine is acting up called Disk Inventory X. It’s super at showing you what stuff is taking up so much room on your computer and why it’s moving slower than a dehydrated donkey. I also used this opportunity to add more cartoony arrows and text in Skitch cuz it’s sooo fun!

Yikes! I take a lot of photos. almost 30GB in 4 months. I’m glad i found those old iMovie HD files though. Saved me a bunch of room!

Oh yeah! I got a Lomo last week! I’m ready to get so lomosexual.

This Holga Lomo has a hot shoe so I bought this awesome Colorsplash flash kit that came with a little rotating wheel that you can put coloured gels in to get extra snazzy tint in your shots.

I’m so excited to see my first roll of shots which include shots of the 604 showcase, peeps on Kits beach, and this weird giant crab.

I also did an eInterview with PureStyle Magazine. I wrote the response to this at 5am so it may be slightly weird or incomprehensible, but somewhat entertaining… mostly. 10 points if you can find my embarrassing typo in the article. Gah!

Are you a designer??? Can you make sweet vectors?? Send me your Canadian Vectoramas! No one has submitted any vector illustrations for my monthly design competition. And I’m so angry! Jerks!

Don’t snooze and lose out on the chance to score an ad spot on my sidebar. Go here for more details.

Annd I just upgraded to WP 2.5.1 so there maybe a few glitches here and there until i sort things out.

PS. Brian Shaler thinks he is pretty funny.
