Around Toronto Harbour with Mariposa

Come ON how fun is that?!

You know that area along the water where those big boats are docked?  They’re all Mariposa yachts. Recently renovated, kind staff, a great summer date idea I think.

From May 2011

Pretty swanky party, look at all this stuff.

A lot of that candy ended up in my purse, which is now sticky with granulated sugar. And my chocolate fondue advice to you is to make a bee line for it before others get there and taint the chocolate by dipping fruit in it. Fruit is so gross.

Photobooth time!

We then met Mysterion, an experience so cool I blogged it in its own post.

Are you following Casie? You should be, her blog is awesome.

I think the days of me blogging with my phone camera are coming to an end.  I’d rather not have to carry around an extra something, but I can’t argue with her superior photos.  

At least I’m not using my Motorola Razr anymore, because I totally used to.

Thank you Mariposa, and hi Jason! I had a really great time.

Then we took the party to the park.

Nice to Meet You, RightSleeve

We met Thursday night at your party where you’d also invited a bunch of my old Twitter friends AND gave me an umbrella as tall as I am, thank you!

Internet – RIGHTSLEEVE is “a promotional design agency”, the print your name on things. I pawed all their stuff, and you can feel good about trusting them to put your name on somthing; their level of quality will match yours.

I’d love to have KeriBlog everything. Specifically any of these car items, this toaster using my CDN Explorer logo, or a plain black hat with KeriBlog.com written in tiny letters subtlety. Everyone would want one of those.

I know you know these two!  Casie Stewart and Shawn Hawaii, who were continuing their ongoing hipster joke that they have a baby named Triangle ahahaha, that’s funny.

Bahaha, ya I did:

That’s Phil, Ben and RIGHTSLEEVE owner Mark doing the punching.

Always good seeing you Ben!  Dude – remember when you tasked me with writing 100 words on IPs, when I was training in writing 100 words, before I went to the Olympics and wrote 100 words daily for Vancouver 24 hours?

I just did, click here to read it.

I love when people pick me up when they hug me, Rannie did too outside, did you ever see that episode we did together? Hang on…. tada!

Exploring Canadian Blogging

I have a thing for this place, the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.

Go if you can, it’s looks just like the video game Myst.

He Bent a Fork With His MIND

I’m on a boat with BFF Casie, and Mysterion approaches, could he try to amaze us, by reading our minds?

Oh definitely. I’ve been spewing stuff onto the internet for years about my superior psychic skills, I love this stuff.

Watch this video – he turns a fork 360 degrees around in MY hand.

I promise I’m not in on this.

I kept the fork.

And that’s my drawing on the left, that he replicated  on the right, by reading my mind (it’s a server).

Crazy, eh?!

I wonder how he did it…… or do I…… maybe I wonder if it’s best to keep your powers hidden…… or I’m wondering what are the odds to run into another one on a boat…. or maybe I wonder if it’ll ever stop being fun, to be so overdramatic……

Sometimes I break the camera.

I wonder.

 

 

Hello, An Update

Been a busy May, eh.  Can you believe it’s mid-May ugh.

Let’s see…

Went to a Toronto FC game recently, always a great time beacuse it’s a loud and rowdy crowd.

Learned that soccer is called, “the beautiful game”, because once the clock starts it doesn’t stop, so therefore the game is always contained to two hours. Unlike football, which has so many stops and starts I practically died of boredom last year and left early.

Box view:

Got a haircut, this time Matthew from Brennen Demelo Studio. He just returned from Berlin Germany, where he was furthering his education,.

That’s one of the best parts about this place… you can go to any stylist there if your regular isn’t available, and everything will still come out amazing.

What else…

Oh, I got this idea in my head a few weeks back…. I’d like to be a Toronto tour guide atop a double decker bus, spouting off into the microphone facts about the city and Canada. You do not even realize how much Canadian facts I have here in my head.

I’d film the entire experience of course, and then ideally I sell the video to some tourism outfit which promotes Toronto, and this is just one of a million ideas I have everyday and WHERE IS MY ARMY TO HELP ME EXECUTE IT ALL???

Now please give a warm welcome my new music sponsor, Capo Productions!

Royalty-free music is pricey and important. Did you know  YouTube uses a robot to scan the audio on your video as it uploads, determines if you are  using a song you don’t own and flags your video for further analysis?

Thank you Fred, I’m pumped about this!

Here’s some noteworthy technical things:

From top left to right:

– I’m quite proud of that pie chart, specifically the yellow chunk… this is the average time spent on my blog.  35% of visitors spend over an hour here. So thank you for pushing play!

– I think the private cloud market will explode soon, and have been thinking to invest in it

– there’s something you don’t see everyday, a red light on the side of a Macbook, my Macbook.

– that’s my Klout score, holding at a solid 50, not bad not bad. See how it says I’m an “activist”? I like that.  It got many of my “influential about” topics correct (McDonalds, ha), except for ‘Keri Hilson’, I’ve never typed her name ever?

Kay that’s a long blog post, TTYS.
