been on a bit of a HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography kick lately. trying to find some nice images for my desktop. this pro photographer on flickr has been doing some pretty cool images. check ‘em out here.

a collection of run on sentences mostly about travel, fashion, technology, formula 1, design and anything else that this worker bee in the vancouver ad industry feels like rambling on about
balls!
i just found out about the Ratatat show tonight and its sold out. balls!
oh well i did find their dope remix of “Party & Bullshit” so its all good.
such a geek
is it just me or does my desk look a little retarded right now?
that would be an old TiBook G4 connected via firewire to a MacbookPro with my trusty old iBook G4 in the foreground doing my usual work. sheesh.
word of the day
Ready – a sexually attractive person
oh please…
okay Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit…WTF… six seasons in a row there’s a mole?!?! who the hell does your hiring? high school intern? sheesh. way to ruin an otherwise good season of 24…
rotten in denmark
i’m really starting to suspect what the producers of the amazing race do to get the “drama” they think they need to make the show. are the non-elimination legs really pre-determined before the race starts (or just pre-determined as before the last team checks in). are detours or roadblocks designed to help some teams while hindering others? this season just seems a little too contrived for some reason.
something smells
speaking of hippy weirdo’s…how about plain old smelly weirdo’s? i got dragged off to an antique fair on sunday….
wow, its amazing the amount of crap and junk that people will hold onto in the faint hope that it might be worth something. matchboxes (from some no name restaurants scattered around the country), old dolls that are fallen apart (no to mention the pedophile looking dude selling them), expo 86 souvenirs, gawd…i almost expected to find old willie nelson 8-track cartridges…
so imagine a gymnasium full of above mentioned old musty stinky stuff, journey playing on the PA, crowds of people who don’t seem to shower or wash their clothes, and possibly half a dozen leaking Depends undergarments and you can get a sense of the torture that was my Sunday morning.
oh and senior citizens have sharp elbows. they bump and barge like nobody’s business. i got taken the f out.
EPIC
the enviro-friendly sustainable blah blah fair took place this past weekend and we went to go check it out. what a waste of money. i’d say 1/3 hippy weirdo booths, 1/3 big corps putting on a brave face, 1/3 actually useful or interesting booths.
the only thing i was interested in was the Green Works building supply co but they’re like a block from my office and i’ve been walking by them almost everyday, just been too lazy to actually walk in and browse.
the most embarrassing part of the show had to be their so-called fashion show. only 6 models (including one girl who walked like a parade horse), maybe 10 brands (2-3 of which were accessory brands), dragged out over 15-20 minutes. gag. doesn’t Karl pull out like 100 different looks in 20 minutes?
on a side note, found out the Waterfront Centre has a “La Torilleria”. looks the same as the whistler one but don’t know if its the same chain or not. regardless the chicken taco salad was damn fine.
