First Cycling Race of the Season

Sunday it was off to Calabogie Motorsports Track with my team for 2011’s first OCA race.

The boys did great, way to go fellas!

And just like both years past (this is my 3rd season having a team under my Canadian Explorer brand) I underdressed and had to wear Nate’s clothes.  The large arrow above is pointing at Nate.

I have there carbon fiber knuckles, ha.

Last year I stood all zipped up like that for an entire lap, laughing my head off inside the zipper yelling, “this is how I cheer!“.

 

 

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.

 

 

30 Carats of Diamonds

Remember Keith, the ‘Official Gemologist of The Canadian Explorer‘?

Ha, YES, that was the best.

Here’s Exploring Diamonds.

Here’s a close up of the 30 carats of diamonds, and at the time that photo was taken, that maybe the largest total amount of loose stones together in Canada.

You want to always face north when inspecting diamonds, because that’s where the light is best.

There’s another little video here too.

Visited an Air Craft Carrier

Remember that time I talked my way onto a warship?  I’ll embed that episode below.

Here’s the USS Ihavetolookitup, docked permentantly in San Diego.

And here’s Exploring the Canadian Navy!

Click that link to read all about it.  I hitchhiked on a plane to get home.

This is in my Top 3 favourite episodes.

That’s me firing the giant gun at the end.

See me flinch?  Exactly.  Natural born gunner.

It Only Appeared Impulsive

This is my new watch.

Saw it and 3 minutes later owned it. But I’ve been researching it for two years.

Another Casio. It’s completely matte, even the buckle. The display is subtle and correct in colour and brightness. Nice bit of gucci kit.

I have their first ever camera watch, I’ll link it up when I’m on my big computer, because this is from my Blackberry.

I think Blackberry posts look kinda messy, but remember when I said months ago, to be less rigid and structured with this new blog, and before I knew it I had 34 totally disassociated videos, not bad eh! The kids still got it. Now to blog more from my phone.

Its been so great posting whatever I feel like without that cohesive theme, like I talked about in that first KeriBlog video… it was sometimes tough goings over at Canadian Explorer… always needing to introduce something new and cooly Canadian in all posts, videos, everything… balancing my Twitter feed between stuff about Canada and me… because that’s how it always was: Canada first, Keri second.

Have a great weekend, I’m going to visit some people and will send pics.
