Nice to Meet You, Brooks

I’m Keri, Pete’s sister.

I’m the one screwing up on air here, sorry Pete!

I’ve been blogging and making videos since 2007… you can sit down and watch me for 8 edited hours, ha.

Meet me in some of my videos.

Pete and I are both car nuts and love driving.

I had a show for 3 years celebrating Canada. I covered the Olympics for Sun Media, was CBC’s inaugural made-for-web show, it was awesome.

But maybe my favourite episode was when… I talked my way onto a warship.

Exploring the Canadian Navy

I like this simple one, too.

Pete and I are also love playing pool, and we’re ridiculously competitive.

Find me fastest on Twitter @KeriBlog, and sorry about my messy blogs, I just finished rebuilding them.

See you around town this week, Brooks, if you see us yell hi!

The Calm Before the Storm

I didn’t just build this beautiful new home online without a serious plan and amount of ambition behind it, wink.

It was a big undertaking and took the help of two others in two other countries to make what you see there. It’s still unpolished, but the big important and backend things are finished.

Like, when I alert the guys their interviews are live, it’s all eyes-on, so I’ve been preparing.

Those guys I met at Defcon, the online security conference I attended in Vegas, are some of the world’s best hackers, the rock stars of the industry. So ya.

Almost compeltely on my Mac Air now… I’ve had to learn new editing software, video about that drafted.

This no-car thing is really getting to me. I figured out why a couple days ago when I was on the roof of my building. That’s for another post. I have many posts drafted here.

10 videos, filmed, designed and ready to be edited. Another post.

Off to the HighRoad Christmas party tonight! They’re this great top Canadian PR company I met through Canada Goose years ago. A few weeks ago they threw an event for bloggers, invited us to their office, fed us, then…. asked our opionon. It was amazing. That rarely happens.

Later after the party I’ve got work to do for my cycling team, because you bet I’ve re-instated myself as President for a fourth year, whereupon I will continue to rule with my little iron fist.

Kay I’ve gotta hop in a cab, TTYL

Hi From Los Angeles

Ford contacted me last month, would I like to go to the LA Autoshow? Yes please.

I’ll be here till Thursday, 72 hours-ish.

In the airport check-in line I hear, “Keri?!!” I turn around and there is Jeff, from my old Canadian Explorer days, and who turns around to show me he’s got my pin on his bag, amazing! Jeff that was awesome, great to meet ya IRL.

Let’s see what else…

I’m in my new home for 2 weeks now, settled, and a second giant purge is happening… I still own too much stuff, and turns out purging is addictive.

Looking forward to getting that video finished, ‘That Time I Gave Away Everything I Own’. I could really use some editing help, lmk if you ever feel like helping out with some Final Cut stuff.

Have you seen my new KeriBlog site? It’s like the mothership for all things Keri online…. I’ll tell you about it in a video on OtherKeriBlog, I am SO pumped. It’s been in my head for years, and now, it’s alive.

It still needs attention, and not everything is running perfectly, soon soon, this was a giant undertaking. Thanks for changing your bookmarks and RSS link (LINK TO RSS)

Note my new show!!

Ha! Makes sense, it was only a matter of time… I did have a show for three years, staring my car, right down to the theme song remember? Da da da da da daaaaaa…

Hmmm, what else…

I was ‘randomly selected’ for a more intense screening at the airport. I’m randomly selected every time. The border guard and I talked cars, and I offered to link to him from my blog to his, but he was kidding and doesn’t really have a blog. I’ve got a half-drafted post about going through customs for ‘Keri on Security’; I’ll tell you some of my tricks I’ve devised over the years.

There’s a party for the Ford Mustang tonight, a full day at the show tomorrow and then an event at the Bel Air Hotel tomorrow night, for which I brought my tux.

Going to the party now, talk to you on Twitter.

A Quick Update

Brennen Demelo Studio.

Driving home in my new haircut.

I like way it more than I thought I would, and when I come up on it, I find myself going, ‘huh, that is a surprisingly good looking car.’

Look. Yes, of course I took it to Cherry Beach.

Ford Focus

Walked to dinner, me at dinner.

Night, TTYT.

I got Twitter back on my phone tonight, tty there tomorrow, too.
