Microsoft Zune Launch Party = Epic Fail

I’m not a fan of Apple. I am a solid supporter of all things PC. However, after this party my conviction is waning.
Microsoft decided to make their Canadian launch of the iPod beater by holding a series of parties, advertised as Six Cities, Six Bands, with their tour starting in Vancouver.
It sounded like [...]

Where have I been?

Although it hasn’t been particularly busy in the film industry it is amazing how fast the time passes and you feel like there’s still so much to do.
I’ve only been working on set one or two days a week but I’ve also bought a new condo so I’m in the process of settling in and [...]

UFC 83 Fight Recap

Redemption. That pretty much sums up the Matt Serra versus Georges St. Pierre fight. If there was any doubt at all that GSP isn’t one of the best fighters in the UFC today, this match effectively dispelled it.
GSP came out and made an aggressive take-down in the opening seconds of round 1, he [...]

Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival 2008 - Day 2

Today we played it lazy. We slept in, got something to eat, drank some beer in the sun while listening to live bands and went back to the hotel for a nap before dinner. Okay, so maybe we got to check out a few vendors in the village but the real action began [...]

Who Says Work Can’t Be Enjoyable?

I’ve been lucky to work on some great shows in the past and I’ve had the good fortune to work on some really fun days on set. However, the real way to my heart is through my stomach
I just finished working on the last day of principal filming for The Day the [...]

Battlestar’s Back!

Well, in the aftermath of the three and a half months long Writer’s Strike, it appears that we are approaching some level of pre-strike normalcy. Although shows I’ve worked regularly on like Bionic Woman, Intelligence and Jpod are no longer, my favorite show Battlestar Galactica is back to finish off its last episodes.
I’m looking [...]

Hump Day Video: March 12, 2008

Star Wars Gangsta Rap
Welcome to another Hump Day Video. This video has been floating around the internet for a while now and the song has been around for even longer. I still get a kick out of it though.
It’s well written and funny as hell. If you’re a sci-fi fan like myself, [...]

In honour of the iconic Wally’s Burgers closing its doors at the end of the month, it was decided to forgo our usual Dot Com Pho this week and have Dot Com Burger at Wally’s. Like usual, I arrived to see a line-up right up to the entrance door. In attendance were John [...]
