Hope You Had a Great Weekend, Too

I ditched the city and went offline for 36 hours, it was fantastic.

Look it’s my BFF Suzy driving!

Tech note – left is a Blackberry 9780 photo, right is an iPhone 4.

So odd to be sitting in my passenger seat, the former studio, which I’ve been debating bringing back…

Went to a really fun party, happy birthday beautiful!

Sunday cleaning of course.

See, I wasn’t exaggerating about my candy filled purse, which got dumped into my candy drawer.

My Car Keeps Breaking

Yesterday I was beside Moss Park when my car just shut down at a stop light. Two weeks ago it happened five times on the 401, remember when I had to get towed twice to my destination?

Then, out of nowhere, this lady comes up to my window, would I like a push? Please!

Then another guy just appeared, they pushed me to safety around a corner, and before I could get out of my car to shake their hands thanks, they were gone.

Moss Park doesn’t have the best reputation, and that’s what happened.  I’d bet that had this happened in a rich neighbourhood things would have unfolded differently.

Maybe my car broke because that morning my hazard button came off, much like the buttons for my window there, and see how I have to use a knife to open up my glove box?

CAA to my rescue. The dispatcher lady and I were dying of laughter, because the neighbourhood residents were shouting at me directions and trying to be helpful. Repeatedly.  From across the street.

It’s at Canadian Tire right now getting a new ignition coil, it had stopped arcing.

UPDATE:

Back on the road by the next evening, it wasn’t arcing and needed a new ignition coil, just like 2 weeks ago, it’s a mystery, all in it cost me $0, I win!

 

Exploring a Thunderstorm with Jay

This episode is from when Jay Goldman and I got together to film something for The Canadian Explorer, and this is what came out.

At the time Jay had an awesome internet show too, Mr Mobile.

Sorry about the nicks in the audio, this was before I learned about adding those little sound smooth guys in between cuts.

My car shook for 2 days.

Buy Jay’s Book! Facebook Cookbook which is in the O’Reilly Collection

(non-nerds: an O’Reilly book carries clout, they’re like, tech bibles)

Here’s Fantasy Farms

Here’s some stills from the episode.

 

 

Talking on my Bluetooth Headset

Sometimes I answer the phone like this.

I spend a good chunk of everyday on the phone.

Yes, I’m “that girl” walking around wearing a bluetooth headset, talking.

Laugh it up, I’ll laugh later at your ear tumour, and meanwhile get 50% more accomplished with my TWO free hands.

Cause I wear a fanny pack remember.

Just for 5 minutes.
