Biggest Vehicle I Ever Reviewed

Feb 4 2014

The 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 & the GMC Sierra Denali 3500

Read in on Autonet.ca

Chevy Jump Truck

Both badges are powered by a Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo diesel, outputting 397-horsepower and wait of it… 765 lb-ft of torque COME on.

Assume the position: trucker stance.

The hood and I are the same height.

So arty.

Dichotomy.

It’s Thursday Night, Have a Good One

Jan 16 2014

Big-night-out-city-girl here.

After I publish this, it’s onto the last draft of next week’s column, “About Funeral Processions“. Earlier this week, I spent an afternoon chatting with funeral directors, they were a surprisingly funny bunch.

This happened today – the paper added a new section to our website, Autonet.ca.

Bottom right.

“Featured Author”, and a link to my latest article, permenently above the fold, nice.

Tomorrow will conclude the first 2 weeks working at my new job. Think I’ll be ready to blog all about it by end-of-the-month.

Because blogging something, it’s like, it makes it official.  It’s hard to explain, I’ll add it to the videos-to-make list. Basically though, the message is, “the internet keeps you accountable“.

I am loving it, to be clear.

It shows in my desk dancing.

desk dancing

I hope you desk dance, too.

Dismantled the ‘sticky note epiphany‘ wall.

Documented them all, here are some.

Clockwise from top left:

  • based on last year’s study of time… to successfully execute a new years resolution, it’s best to start a month early, and have a semi-rhythm happening by the end of the year
  • “insurance is the cause of so much dumbness”.  Insurance sucks the fun away
  • “put blog in music”. Might do a security post about that. It’s part of my never-ending quest to avoid the cloud.

Found this shot of me driving Nissan’s Hybrid Pathfinder, when I blogged the Nashville story yesterday.

Nice change from the grainy selfless I usually post, eh.

So grainy. Like I blogged before, I still wonder if these phone camera lenses have built-in degradation.

Counter-argument is I probably take way more photos per day, than the average user. And like, imagine the wear & tear from one car show…

Hope it’s a good Thursday Night, best night of the week.

kk I have to go write, I’ll cheers you TTYT

Proof Why to Never Upload a Compromising Image

Dec 30 2013

I use Google / Picasa to publish the photos you see here. I upload them to my Google+ account, then copy the embed code here.

Recently, Google came out with a new feature, “Auto Backup” – on its own, it animates some of my photos, and on the weekend, Google made me this animated gif of my year in photos.

Here’s the problem.

I have my Google+ account organized into months, plus one private folder called, “Holding Tank”.

Days ahead of blogging, I filter photos and upload them to ‘Holding Tank’ until they’re ready to be moved to a public folder.

(the red smudge is masking the authentication key for the private folder.)

Bottom row, second from the left – that’s a private photo.

This one:

So accidentally, a private photo was published.

Proof that the only safe way to keep something protected, is not to upload it at all.

This isn’t dire, that’s me at a Canadian Tire winter tire event I haven’t blogged yet.

I’d guess  Google’s response would be that the animated gif wasn’t public until I made it so, but, if that one photo was at all compromising, I couldn’t use this .gif.

I didn’t even catch this mistake until the day after I’d blogged the gif.

Fast Update that’s a Bit Boring

Dec 13 2013

Catching you up quickly, but you haven’t missed much, it’s been a heads-down kind of week, nothing that exciting has happened to me.

It’s been productive, but boring.  Maybe they’re related.

Wednesday I picked up a Ford Fiesta… ST!

Non-car nerds: ST is the turbo version, only comes in manual, almost double the torque of the regular Fiesta.

Yes it got really cold here in TO in the last week-ish, but it’s Canada, it’s expected. Please stop whining, everywhere whiiiining.

Here’s an old video, “Why Canadian Winters are Awesome”

It has to be something.

This week’s best night of the week Thursday, was this:

Dull agenda, but least they’ll be done, and that feels great.

I don’t mind paying taxes, it’s the doing I don’t like.

Is there anything more boring…
calculate receipts, add 15 cents multiply by HST,
how much did I spend on parking in March,
who even cares, this is the worst.

Friday felt weird, didn’t it. Like, everyone tucked into a secret anger cocoon, was glad when the day was done.

Taxes will take a bit, will blog next in a few.

Have a great weekend! After this, there’s only 2 left in 2013.
