Like a typical geeky overachiever, I had a very grandiose plans for blogging/vlogging on my Mayan Riviera trip. I was psyched. I packed all my gear and cables and set off into the sun. But like the cruel fate of reality, the Mayan gods were against me from the get go. They toyed with my emotions, liquored me up, and booted me off the ledge into a giant sink hole of doom. I know. Intense. Within 30 seconds of arriving…
Today was Mother Earth’s big day. Coincidentally, it was also my mother’s birthday. Hizzah. Happy Birthday! This has been an amazing trip with you! Last year I spent Earth day rollerblading around Jericho Beach in my home town of Vancouver (yes I actually bladed on the sand, lived to regret it, got the photos to prove it). This year, I spent the day at Xel Ha, an amazing ecological water theme park in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. I swam alongside…
Besides failing miserably at putting on suntan lotion evenly, I was attacked by an albino Mexican sand bear! swathhhhhh. After he pawed me, I gave him some tortillas with cheese dip. This seemed to settle him for a bit while I made my get-away!!…
Congratulations to our new Champ: Emily Wong of Ninja vs Penguin. Her ninja penguin was certainly a hit. How can you not love a ninja penguin? Impossible I think. I loved all the entries with all my heart and I’ll give all the designers some link love (right after this stawberry daiquiri) and can’t wait til next month to see what everyone will create. (and I will extend next month’s competition for a few weeks so busy designer peeps…
I know you think you can top this, but you can’t. I thought my British Airways meal was not so sexy, but this was seriously the worst thing I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve eaten loads of moldy things. Not knowing they were moldy, but finding mold on bread whilst I was eating it. Uhh. I hate that. PS. Do not fly Air Transat, like, EVER. Note to self: Remove all “inappropriate” photos BEFORE you open your MB iPhoto library on…
My day started out pretty lame. I burnt the last two pieces of toast in the house and when I tried to scrape off the burnt bits my toast fell into a strainer full of old soggy spaghetti. Then to top it off, there was no jam, peanut butter, or honey. So I made some tea and guess what? No milk. NoooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo. So I was preparing for a super crappy day o’ lameness, but alas, the fates were in my…
Can it be true? Flickr, the photo sharing platform we’ve all grown to love and spend obsessive amounts of time on has just added video sharing to it’s list of uber features? Oh yes it’s true and here’s the proof! The Deal: Videos must be 90 seconds or less, under 150MB (which is huuuge for a 90s clip) Upload of a 7.2MB file took about a minute (on my zippity quick internet) Accepted .mov and .m4v files a-ok Uses the…
