I was planning on doing a bunch of subsequent posts here in my blog for the rest of the month as well. However, I'm making a slight change in plans...<div><br /></div><div>Instead of doing a lot of updates about my #LowCarDiet here, I've decided to start a <a href="http://lowcardiet-40deuce.tumblr.com/">Tumblr blog dedicated to following my progress</a>. I figure that way I can also do a lot of smaller posts, post the odd picture and video and some other things and have it all in one easy to find place.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll still do some larger blog posts about the #LowCarDiet here and then cross-link them over to my new Tumblr, but if you want to follow along with all the action please follow <a href="http://lowcardiet-40deuce.tumblr.com/">40deuce's #LowCarDiet</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, please like and share anything I post there. As well, I think it will help me to win if you like the YouTube videos I post there as well. And don't forget to tweet at me using the hashtag #LowCarDiet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, you can find this video on my new Tumblr, but here's the first #LowCarDiet video I made, because I promised I'd share it here as well. (This was also my first time EVER editing a video)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h_P3kqfJwNc?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h_P3kqfJwNc?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /></div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-4403497592499417232011-07-30T13:01:00.003-04:002011-07-30T14:06:11.580-04:00I'm Going On A #LowCarDiet<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-15sTu-TUj1PyfA15MvsDcTqCgPXmqwgoZ77YsVnsaW3rgIkd4MnXRlDdBXusgkegBmRCY4XNMzO5c1B8RWVqi73Y0tGkE0_4s8zhvyrDfjlrQaud4NyCuj2St6peRrUQamWiOO78jQj/s1600/photo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-15sTu-TUj1PyfA15MvsDcTqCgPXmqwgoZ77YsVnsaW3rgIkd4MnXRlDdBXusgkegBmRCY4XNMzO5c1B8RWVqi73Y0tGkE0_4s8zhvyrDfjlrQaud4NyCuj2St6peRrUQamWiOO78jQj/s400/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635207470372958594" /></a><br />A few weeks ago a buddy of mine pointed me towards a really cool contest being put on by <a href="http://zipcar.com/">Zipcar</a> called the <a href="http://www.zipcar.com/lowcardiet/">#LowCarDiet</a>. The contest was looking for people who were willing to walk, ride their bike, use public transit, go to the gym and occasionally use a Zipcar. The point is promote a lifestyle where people don't drive everywhere all the time, and it sounded perfect for me. Luckily, I was one of the people chosen to represent Toronto!<div><br /></div><div>The whole thing is a contest where 12 cities from across North America are competing to see which city can live this lifestyle best. Being someone who live in downtown Toronto I think that this kind of lifestyle is totally fitted for this city and I intend to win.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the next month I'm going to taking part in this #LowCarDiet by being more active in how I get around. I'm also going to be making videos of some of the awesome things I do with my Zipcar and other aspects of the contest. I hope you all follow my progress and support me and Team Toronto. We win just by being active; both in life and with the contest.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are also some really awesome sponsors for the contest that have hooked me up with some cool stuff. First, I got a free membership to Zipcar so that I can use the cars when I need. I also received a bunch of Zip Car gear, a pair of <a href="http://www.newbalance.com/">New Balance shoes</a> (which I still have to actually go and get), two tickets to <a href="http://www.secondcity.com/performances/toronto/calendarandtickets/">The Second City</a> here in Toronto, $200 in <a href="http://www.viarail.ca/en/main">VIA Rail</a> travel, a giant gift box of <a href="http://www.popchips.com/">Pop Chips</a> (which I was kind enough to share with some of my work colleagues even though I like them myself), a nice bag and free membership to <a href="https://secure.logmein.com/">LogMeIn</a>, <a href="http://www.jabra.com/sites/mobile/na-us/pages/home.aspx">Jabra</a> sports headphones, a whole bunch of <a href="http://www.zevia.com/">Zevia Natural Soda</a> (which I haven't tried yet, but it says it's no calories or sugar, so that's good) and apparently we're getting even more stuff soon. Pretty crazy for something I would have done without any of the stuff.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeINhZUS5q4x_WGgr_2ZmzeVCaViKms7QM_UZIiJdZZHPg8n5Uu50yea2Yjrc0cIVlBiYOvsF_L8JR6VaH5vB00CJZeqKnHu4ZLeKCOCUWVN7R0TEeHQnrzQW0xakh4b5SPOPRkUCo5HhW/s1600/photo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeINhZUS5q4x_WGgr_2ZmzeVCaViKms7QM_UZIiJdZZHPg8n5Uu50yea2Yjrc0cIVlBiYOvsF_L8JR6VaH5vB00CJZeqKnHu4ZLeKCOCUWVN7R0TEeHQnrzQW0xakh4b5SPOPRkUCo5HhW/s400/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635207138895518066" /></a><br /></div><div>So please follow along with me.

Follow the <a href="http://www.zipcar.com/lowcardiet/?tab=home">contest progress</a>. Tweet <a href="http://twitter.com/40deuce">me</a> about it and use the hashtag #LowCarDiet. Watch out for my blog posts and videos (I'll post them all here for you to see) and leave comments and/or like the videos. Essentially the more I participate and get other people to help me participate in the contest, the more of a chance I have to help <a href="http://www.zipcar.com/lowcardiet/?tab=participants&cities=toronto">Toronto</a> win.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone about this and ask for your help. I just booked my first Zipcar rental so I can run some errands this afternoon I haven't been able to without a car and I'll make a video to share.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks again to Zipcar for choosing me to do this and a thanks in advance to anyone who helps me in my effort to win!</div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-41906966487306481202011-06-22T11:48:00.003-04:002011-06-22T13:02:35.770-04:00Happy Accidents<a href="http://www.cestwhat.com/images/nxne2011.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 110px;" src="http://www.cestwhat.com/images/nxne2011.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Have you ever set out to do something awesome one night only to have the night go a completely opposite direction? That happened to me this past Saturday, but it was definitely for the better.<div><br /></div><div>Last week (and weekend) was <a href="http://nxne.com/">NXNE (North by North East)</a> here in Toronto, which is a huge music festival. The festival toutes 650 bands playing at over 40 venues across the city over six days. Every year I look forward to this week because... well, because I love music. I'm always on the look out for cool new music and NXNE is a great way to find some. Finding new music was actually my happy accident on Saturday night.</div><div><br /></div><div>On Saturday I was wandering all over the city seeing a ton of different bands. One band that I specifically wanted to check out was Handsome Furs. I've never seen them live, but heard they put on a wicked show. I showed up at the venue just before 1am (when they were supposed to be going on) only to find that the venue was packed to capacity. There was even a crazy line up for people who had "priority passes" which had worked to get me into a bunch of other packed shows last week.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, not one to be discouraged, my cousin and I decided to stop by another bar in the area that was also part of the NXNE venue list just to check out what was going on there. We wandered over to The Dakota Tavern and walked in to find the best new band I found throughout the entire festival. We got in to catch the second half of a band called New Country Rehab. I can only describe them as country/bluegrass/good-ol-fashioned-rock-n-roll. While it's not my usual type of music they were really awesome and definitely the best find of the festival (for myself anyways).</div><div><br /></div><div>I managed to grab the last two minutes of one of their songs on video. Check them out bellow:</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/25460285?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/25460285">New Country Rehab @ The Dakota Tavern</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/the40deuce">40deuce</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p></div><div><br /></div><div>I wish I got to see more of them and got more of their stuff on video to share with you. Luckily, they're a local Toronto band, so I'll have my eye out to see them again.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the meantime, here's another (full) song of theirs I found on YouTube so you can get a better idea of the band.</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/giyD3P5txQc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>Can't wait for another happy accident at next year's NXNE!</div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-5671991168187526742011-05-16T13:30:00.003-04:002011-05-16T15:53:08.563-04:00I'm Starting A Collection...

That said, I'm also always looking to constantly improve myself and my life and I need to start surrounding myself with more awesome people that I'd like to learn from and be more like.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, I'm starting a new on-going series that will appear here on my blog that I'm calling <b>Collecting People</b>. In this series I'll be highlighting people (hopefully mostly through interviews) that I think I could stand to be more like. Each individual I feature will have some characteristic that I think I could use (and hopefully you can too) in my life. Sometimes it will be people who I admire as business people, sometimes it will be interesting thinkers or interesting people, sometimes it will just be people I really admire. Think of it as a mentorship program with many mentors. That's how I'm going to think about it anyways.</div><div><br /></div><div>I already have a first candidate to "collect" in mind, but I'd love to hear from you (all 3 of my readers ;)) about what are some areas of your life you think you could stand to be better at or more like someone else at? Also, who are some of your personal mentors (whether they know they are or not)?</div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-16775056588350028602011-02-23T10:12:00.006-05:002011-02-23T10:34:48.913-05:00The Striking Truth Contest Winner Is....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhntAahbObfbHTrIMDEXTwFQcTMxR4rSRoK0oOjZjazIhgcXOYXEkA6PzLZhnlLIA5ncKTNLhbRsfYTkgyyXX2sp4oHJ67vhZmbDhcUD2oPNPDP5frJ8OxTtQJydQtEZQXZ8s2vbLBlfdW8/s1600/webblast2-twitter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhntAahbObfbHTrIMDEXTwFQcTMxR4rSRoK0oOjZjazIhgcXOYXEkA6PzLZhnlLIA5ncKTNLhbRsfYTkgyyXX2sp4oHJ67vhZmbDhcUD2oPNPDP5frJ8OxTtQJydQtEZQXZ8s2vbLBlfdW8/s400/webblast2-twitter.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576908257935385538" /></a>
<br />Before I start, I just want to thank everyone that entered into my <a href="http://strikingtruth.com/">The Striking Truth</a> contest. As well, everyone who helped spread the word of the contest was a great help as well. I really liked doing my first ever contest on the blog and I hope I can do more in the future. BUT, now for the real news....<div>
<br /></div><div>Late last night we (and by we I mean me, but we sounds much more formal) closed the entries for the contest and took all the entries and ran them through <a href="http://random.org/">Random.org</a>. That way I had no influence over who won the pair of tickets since I did have a couple of friends enter the contest. Here's what we came up with:</div><div>

<br /></div><div>So, congrats to <a href="http://twitter.com/BrezoKing">Heada Cooper</a>!! You won a pair of tickets to see the world premiere of The Striking Truth on Friday night!!!</div><div>
<br /></div><div>For those of you that didn't win, I'm sorry, but I have some good news for you. If you still want to attend the screening there are tickets on sale, and I have a promo code for you to get a 20% discount! Just head over to <a href="http://bit.ly/eBNTZb">Ticketmaster</a> (use that link) and enter the promo code: TWITST</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Congrats again to Heada and I hope to see you all (and GSP) there as well!!</div><meta charset="utf-8">

Yes, the WWE kind (although, while I was growing up it was the WWF). I loved watching these athletes do crazy things all in the name of putting on a great show. I know that wrestling isn't all real, but there was still that satisfaction I got of watching someone get dropkicked from the top ropes. It was like an action movie, but done live where the people involved had to get it right every time.<div><br /></div><div>As I grew up I moved a bit away from wrestling. I still like to watch it on occasion, but I just don't see it as often as I used to. I still like watching people get beat up though. Especially when it's done right. Like wrestling, there's a real art to knowing how to properly beat someone up (now that I've written that I realize how weird it sounds, but it's true at the same time). I think that's why I became a fan of MMA.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you know anything about MMA, especially if you're from Canada like me, then I'm sure you know the name GSP. George St-Pierre is the current welterweight champion in the UFC and in my opinion, one of the best mixed martial arts fighters EVER. I'm probably not the only person to think so. In fact, someone else who thought so made a documentary about him called <i><a href="http://strikingtruth.com/">The Striking Truth</a>. </i>Check out the trailer here:</div><div><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/s1jKq4GqVDI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If that trailer got you as pumped up as it did for me, then I have great news for you: I'm giving away tickets to the world premiere of <i>The Striking Truth</i> here in Toronto!! That's right, I have tickets to give away to see the world premiere of this documentary on Friday February 25th at 9pm at The Sony Center For Performing Arts.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here's the deal; I thought I'd have a little fun with this contest. Let me know why you're the biggest GSP fan and the tickets are yours. Leave me a story in the comments section. Make a video and leave a link in the comments. Do something awesome to prove to me that you're the biggest GSP fan and you could be on your way to see the GSP documentary before anyone else.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh ya, did I mention that GSP himself will be there? Cause he will! And he'll be doing a Q&A session with his fans.</div><div><br /></div><div>Soooooo, what are you waiting for? Start submitting your entries for this contest!!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll announce the winners one week from today (the evening of Tuesday, February 22nd).</div><div><br /></div><div>Good Luck!!</div><div><br /></div><div>PS- If you don't win, you can always <a href="http://bit.ly/eBNTZb">buy tickets here</a>.</div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-26042125643096016552010-12-31T14:40:00.005-05:002010-12-31T15:17:04.622-05:00Time to Move ForwardWell, it's the last day of the year 2010. How was your year?<div><br /></div><div>Mine was pretty awesome. I got an awesome new job that I love. I moved to new apartment that I really like. I made a ton of new amazing friends. I generally had a pretty decent year if I do say so myself.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">BUT</span>, I think next year is going to be even awesomer (that is a word because I said it is). I have a lot of things planned that I'd like to do next year. Now we just need to cross our fingers that everything goes according to plan.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the big things I have planned I'm going to tell you now as it involves this blog:</div><div><br /></div><div>For the past few months I've been taking a beginners web design class. I've been learning how to build my own site because I've finally decided I'm ready to take the plunge and buy myself my own domain to host a 40deuce web page. This blog will be one of the things to move over to that new site.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had been thinking of learning web design for a little while. Not because I want to change careers or anything, but I just thought it would be helpful to know since I work in the online space.

It caught my eye because the kit came with the Diana camera plus a whole bunch of accessories. I was most excited about the multiple lenses it came with. But I didn't buy it.

This month I have donated my beautiful face to help raise money for charity. That's right, I've donated the part of my face between my upper lip and my nose to grow a moustache in hopes of raising a little bit of money for prostate cancer research. <div><br /></div><div>The whole idea of moustache fund raising is called <a href="http://ca.movember.com/">Movember</a> and was started in Australia a couple of years ago. It has since spread into a worldwide month long fund raising campaign. For the month of November men try to grow moustaches (no matter how ridiculous it makes me look) in hopes that people donate to show their support (and to hopefully help us feel like we're not looking like this for nothing).</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Hr1tNR3vOPQ525Hd9QPos5Y2tFsjeFHC_YY9izgQx584OAjm7-6EXnrLJJicrQrNEGDpkH7jQleDGpGffPp4H4l2sSGJpPfzfJecgoItWq3YNK2f1yWuHoRZDgW1t7wyL6KCtOMJ3BRW/s1600/Picture+%25236.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Hr1tNR3vOPQ525Hd9QPos5Y2tFsjeFHC_YY9izgQx584OAjm7-6EXnrLJJicrQrNEGDpkH7jQleDGpGffPp4H4l2sSGJpPfzfJecgoItWq3YNK2f1yWuHoRZDgW1t7wyL6KCtOMJ3BRW/s400/Picture+%25236.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538170394317109938" /></a><br /></div><div>BUT WAIT! Before I ask you donate, there's more.</div><div><br /></div><div>So you know that I'm not cheating on this and that I actually look as ridiculous as I think I do, I've set up an account on Dailybooth where I will be taking a picture everyday to document my moustache's progression. You can watch it grow by <a href="http://dailybooth.com/40deuce">clicking here</a>. Feel free to leave hilarious comments on the pictures so you really feel like you're getting your money's worth.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now comes the hard part for both you and I. This is where I ask you to please donate and support me and where you part with a couple of bucks. You can donate any amount you want, from $5 to $5,000,000. Any amount can help and is appreciated.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://ca.movember.com/mospace/540250/">Please click here to help me out and donate</a>.

<br /><div>Halloween is my favourite holiday of the year. Everyone likes to go out and have a good time. Even better though, everyone dresses up to have a good time. This year I saw the best costumes I have ever seen!! </div><div>
<br /></div><div>If you're wondering, that's me at the top of this post in my Wolverine/Logan costume. I was pretty happy with it.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>I was supposed to spend the night at a friend's house party, but I got a last minute invite to roll with <a href="http://seanward.net/">Sean Ward</a>, <a href="http://www.michaelnus.com/">Michael Nuss</a> and some other folks to the Silver Snail Halloween party. For those of you that don't know, the Silver Snail is huge famous comic shop here in Toronto, so I knew the costumes at their party were going to be awesome. So, I went by the party before heading to my friend's house party.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Here are some of the awesome costumes I saw on Saturday night (and this is just Saturday night):</div><div>

They make awesome music, but despite being known previously as the producers The Neptunes, they haven't gained much headway in the mainstream. But take my word for it, they're awesome.

I had always wondered what a Gorillaz live show would be like because technically, their cartoons. I had heard on their last tour that they had a giant screen covering the stage and the cartoon characters walked around and played (kind of). This tour was different though. This tour they showed the cartoon characters up on the screen, but they had a real giant band playing for the crowd, and more importantly, Damon Albam and guests.</div><div><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ehqjuBA6vd4?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ehqjuBA6vd4?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /></div><br /><div>The show was better than I even thought it was gonna be.

Not just one speaking gig, but two in one week.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not that nervous about speaking in front of crowd. I actually love doing that. I thrive off of public attention. The thing I'm nervous about is making myself look like an idiot.</div><div><br /></div><div>Usually I don't mind looking like an idiot (if you know me, you know that's more than true), but tomorrow I'm speaking at a conference with some very smart people that I really respect. That's what makes me a bit nervous.</div><div><br /></div><div>On top of that, I'm going for dinner with all of these smart people tonight. I'm almost positive that I'm going to be the youngest and newest to the game at the table. I'm going to be surrounded by a bunch of people who are well known people in the fields of social media, PR, and measurement and analytics. While I like to think that I know what I'm talking about in these areas, these are the people that I've learned from. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's a bit nerve racking but I'm sure I'll get through it.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're interested in knowing where I'm going to speaking at, the first gig (tomorrow) is for <a href="http://twitter.com/thornley">Joseph Thornley</a>'s <a href="http://www.meetup.com/third-tuesday-toronto/">Third Tuesday Measurement Matters Conferenc</a>e. This one is going to be a great day full of great info and smart people (myself hopefully included). If you want to check out the full line up for the event just <a href="http://propr.ca/2010/third-tuesday-measurement-matters-agenda/">click here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The second gig is a private one for provincial government workers. If I had more info to give you I would.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, this should prove to be an interesting and cool week for myself.</div><div><br /></div><div>Wish me luck. </div><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRzrc2lVUKg?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cRzrc2lVUKg?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-40904778750184028252010-08-04T23:11:00.003-04:002010-08-05T00:45:21.348-04:00#ThisIsWhyImFat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2621114849_d76a82e71d_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 423px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2621114849_d76a82e71d_z.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I'm fat. (Note: that is not my belly pictured above... but it probably could be)<div><br /></div><div>I'm not super "wow that guy's fat" fat, but I think I may be near the fattest I've been since I was a kid. Yes, I was a chubby kid. No, I don't want to show you pictures. I also was never skinny, but I've definitely been skinnier. Anyways, I was looking in the mirror yesterday and realized that I really let myself go. The worst part is it's my own fault.</div><div><br /></div><div>I haven't been to the gym in almost 4 months, since I moved away from my old neighborhood. I used to go almost every day and now I NEVER go. It's the worst. I've been half-assed looking for a new one in my new hood, but have yet to come across something good. I really liked my other gym, it's just too far. I used to go all the time because it was around the corner from my pad. I need something like that again.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also eat a lot these days (I think). I don't eat really terribly. I'm not really a big chocolate bars and chips kind of guy. I'm also not claiming to be the best eater though. For some reason though I find myself being hungrier than I usually am. Not sure why that is, but I'm sure that it's not helping my stomach. </div><div><br /></div><div>On top of that, I'm sometimes too lazy to go grocery shopping and there's so many good places to eat just around the corner from my place. And when I say good places, I mean they're good in the "this food is probably bad for you but too delicious to care" kind of way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, it's my fault and I need to do something about it.</div><div><br /></div><div>After talking to a few friends (because if you know me, you know I like to joke about my fatness) I was given a few good ideas that are easy to do that can help me start. Of course, I'm going to start smaller than they suggested, but at least it's a start.</div><div><br /></div><div>First is the easiest and most obvious ones for me. <a href="http://twitter.com/puleen">Puleen</a> said that I should exercise and walk more. Well, I'm trying to find a new gym already, I just need to really do it already. (If anyone knows a good and affordable gym near King and Bathurst in Toronto please let me know in the comments). Also, I already do walk a lot. Usually if I can and have the time I walk everywhere. I even got my bike I've had since I was 14 fixed up a few weeks ago and I've started riding it around the city a lot too.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://twitter.com/sammiekennedy">Sammie</a> suggested a few quick and easy exercise I could do around the house. Sammie is the creator and owner of Booty Camp Fitness, so she probably knows what she's talking about. I'll also probably tap her for ideas once I get into a gym. Anyways, in case you're wondering, this is what Sammie recommends in Tweet form: </div><div><br /></div><div></div><blockquote><div>"just do a circuit in your living room, full body exercises. 4 sets each of body squats, jump squats, pushups and bicycle abs"</div><div><br /></div><div>"10-20 reps each, 30 for the abs tho! Rest 1 minute between circuits. Better than nothing at all!"</div></blockquote><div></div><div><br /></div><div>While I can't guarantee I'll do them all the time, I'm going to make a conscious effort to try to do them when I can.</div><div><br /></div><div>The last piece of advice I was given will be the hardest to do. <a href="http://twitter.com/christineestima">Christine</a> tells me that your metabolism slows down after 7pm (if you wake up around 7am) so you digest slower. She says I shouldn't eat after 7, but that's not going to happen. If I'm lucky on a good day I eat dinner before 830-9pm. So, what I'm going to try to do is not eat after 10pm. Maybe even earlier if I can. I'm usually awake for at least three hours after that anyways. At least it's a start. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, I thought if I wrote these things out and put them out there for people to see I'll feel more compelled to stick to these goals (even if no one reads this blog). And if anyone is reading and you're also feeling like me, I say try to do these easy things too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, this came out a lot longer than I thought it was going to so I'm going to shut up now.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have any other REALLY easy to follow tips, by all means please leave them in the comments.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-42288717753946370782010-07-27T00:03:00.007-04:002010-07-27T00:55:45.784-04:00Gentrification the GameBig games in public spaces seems to be a new cool trend these days and yesterday I participated in an awesome one.<div><br /></div><div>Yesterday I went to Kensington Market to play a game called <a href="http://www.atmosphereindustries.com/gentrification-the-game-brooklyn-vs-toronto-grudge-match/">Gentrification</a>. The best way I can describe it is as a giant game of real life Monopoly with extra stuff. The object of the game is to improve a neighborhood. There's five rounds in the game. Each round your team gets assigned a random property (which is a real space in real life). You can also purchase two more properties per round by taking a picture in front of a property with a sign for that round before a next team does. Once you have properties you can start building on them. The more properties in a row you own the larger of a store/business you can build. As well, each round your team has to do a task to win over the neighborhood such as advertising (chalk art on the sidewalk), a PR campaign (giving out candy to strangers), beautification (picking up recycling) a parade (this one's for real. we had an impromptu parade) and other things. You win points for completing tasks, and more if you do them well.</div><div><br /></div><div>All and all, the game was a ton of fun to play, but my team also made it more fun. I played with <a href="http://twiter.com/lulula">Lucia</a>, who was our team captain and recruited us all. I knew her before, but the rest of my team I just met the night before.

The sun was still out and I was digging their set. Problem was, only 7 other people seemed to feel the same way. The crowd was kind of lame, but Spoon was stil amazing playing a setlist of mostly older stuff from <span style="font-style:italic;">Ga Ga Ga</span> and <i>Gimmie Fiction</i>.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidcLKSrhj7HBmvWU45l-RdNJ4LiFWw2xKUNQxcxjXymher6lfswXPz2SUdS2SIV1QL0RL3YImOkx2sOnZ7cnJYDApNsl5WCpNgDluRZNxOAWRv0tlImInTPkhuVixpnKZmXrJulPFsdb5Q/s1600/IMG_0575.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidcLKSrhj7HBmvWU45l-RdNJ4LiFWw2xKUNQxcxjXymher6lfswXPz2SUdS2SIV1QL0RL3YImOkx2sOnZ7cnJYDApNsl5WCpNgDluRZNxOAWRv0tlImInTPkhuVixpnKZmXrJulPFsdb5Q/s320/IMG_0575.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493530718108292978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8nTSs7hqT8XzfmwiE3wvFjjV_SbEb8ZPjKGF1IT2oNZNML_sbm3YcAd_68EervWIEMdx6v17GyluRDIiY-dCHQxwVAUKWOjEQW12CEc-2AOjFo189ieL2PFX5KrZkdqtrvQ2pzBp4adI/s1600/IMG_0574.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8nTSs7hqT8XzfmwiE3wvFjjV_SbEb8ZPjKGF1IT2oNZNML_sbm3YcAd_68EervWIEMdx6v17GyluRDIiY-dCHQxwVAUKWOjEQW12CEc-2AOjFo189ieL2PFX5KrZkdqtrvQ2pzBp4adI/s320/IMG_0574.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493530715111364258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1iLUDwS4_n5SWgURAKKSF01vhCYsQsJX25a0iQz3yvLLgo-DN5TRcptD7zHbIoQkrrAiPmu-CSG9KCwaX7Uz-VnebEdbgE6fY3hG6pF_LKbgzJJhiRKWGraBsnq_JkuUYgpgg29zSHKsb/s1600/IMG_0571.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1iLUDwS4_n5SWgURAKKSF01vhCYsQsJX25a0iQz3yvLLgo-DN5TRcptD7zHbIoQkrrAiPmu-CSG9KCwaX7Uz-VnebEdbgE6fY3hG6pF_LKbgzJJhiRKWGraBsnq_JkuUYgpgg29zSHKsb/s320/IMG_0571.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493530706773092802" /></a><br /></div><div>Sorry for the crappy looking pics, but I can't find my camera so I'm still confined to the iPhone for pics.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, The Flaming Lips were on next.

Our usually peaceful city got a little bit crazy.<div>
<br /></div><div>On Saturday, my roommate and I headed out to MEC to pick up a few things, but had heard a protest parade was headed near our neighbourhood so we thought we'd check it out on the way there. We expected to see a parade of people with a few cops interspersed in-between. What we found was much more insane.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>We were at the corner of Spadina and Richmond trying to see the protest that was a block north of us at Spadina and Queen. We were met by police officers trying to keep us bystanders back from the protest. It started off with one single line of officers, but it quickly escalated into about 100 cops just around a bunch of people trying to see what was going on.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>While we weren't actually in the protest, it was pretty intense at times. Especially when all the cops near us started to put their gas masks on and aim gas grenade guns in our direction.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>I snapped a lot of pics over the hour and a half I was standing there. Here's a few of them:</div><div>

<br /><div>Thankfully nothing happened where we were. Too bad the same couldn't be said for the rest of the city. Windows were smashed in buildings all over the city. Police cars were set on fire. Other crazy shit went down. Thankfully no one was really hurt.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>If you want to see the rest of my photos from saturday you can <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35434263@N08/sets/72157624364105624/">see the set here</a>.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Also, on sunday there was another big to-do at Queen and Spadina where cops held a bunch of people in the middle of the road for some unknown reason. A lot of those people were just bystanders as well. I was watching the tweets from a friend of mine trapped in the middle of it. It seemed very eerie.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Now the G20 is done and hopefully my city gets back to normal. It was way too strange seeing the Toronro like this.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>There was also a huge

Well, kind of.<br /><br />I suffer from a hereditary disease known as Karatoconus. What it basically means is that instead of my eyeballs staying round like most people's, my eyes are coning and becoming more the shape of a football. If you want to know more about it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus">click here for the Wikipedia entry </a>about it.<br /><br />This is a degenerative disease meaning that it's just going to continue to get worse as time goes on. I already wear glasses (although barely), but as my eyes change shape the prescription needs to also change. While there is no full cure for Karatoconus they have come up with a procedure that can help stop it from worsening.<br /><br />I'm getting this procedure done tomorrow morning.<br /><br />Before I go any further, I need to tell you that stuff pertaining to my eyeballs really freaks me out. I've never been able to do eye-drops without someone (like a nurse in the eye doctors office) holding my eyes open and lots of nervous eye twitching. Also, I've never even looked into contacts (even though I was told to numerous times) because the idea of touching my eyeball creeps me right out.<br /><br />So this is how the procedure I'm getting tomorrow goes:<br />They prop my eyes open with some sort of machine that in my head I picture as looking like the things they use to hold Malcom McDowell's eye's open when he's getting brainwashed in A Clockwork Orange. They then put these special drops in my eyes for 30 frigin' minutes straight. These drops are all fancy chemicals I don't know anything about, but the main active ingredient in them is riboflavin. Yes, riboflavin like in your morning cereal. After the 30 mins of drops, I then have to expose my eye to a special UV light for another 30 mins. Then we repeat the procedure for the other eye because they can't do both at once for some god awful reason.<br /><br />What this will do is harden the linkages of my corneas so they stop changing shape. It's not going to fix my eye sight, but it will help to stop it from getting worse. There is also a slight chance (and I'm hoping this happens) that when my eyeballs harden they will slightly retract a bit too, making my eyesight slightly better. Also, 6 months down the road there are some other things I can look into to help improve my site, but not laser surgery. Apparently laser surgery weakens/thins your corneas meaning it would just reverse what I'm having done tomorrow.<br /><br />I've been ok and even semi-excited about the whole thing for a while. Until last night. I was reading about what could happen after the procedure is done, and now I'm a little freaked. First, I'm going to have to use drops while my eyes heal. Not looking forward to that at all. Also, they said some people will experience blurry vision for the first week or so, but some may experience it for a few months. I'm really hoping I'm the first week type of person.<br /><br />I don't think any long term harm can come from having this procedure done, but it's still freaking me out. I mean, these are my eyes!! Hopefully though this will prevent me from needing full corneal transplants later in life.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm freaked, but excited at the same time.<br /><br />Wish me luck.<br /><br />Now, here's a song (kinda) about eyes that I haven't heard in a while:<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-EQ_VVMtKck&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-EQ_VVMtKck&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-20712068714100751172010-04-19T00:34:00.004-04:002010-04-19T00:54:25.572-04:00Social Spring Cleaning<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3407323070_caf5900a3f.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3407323070_caf5900a3f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Not to brag, but I have too many friends.<br /><br />There's just too many people I've acquired over the years in places like facebook that I'm not really friends with, or they have no value to me (no offense if you're one of those people). It's just time to go.<br /><br />Have you ever logged into facebook and seen a person come down your news feed and just think "who the hell is that person?" or "really, why do I have that person on facebook?" I get that thought a lot, so I decided to do something about it. It's called<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Social Spring Cleaning</span>.<br /><br />Here's the concept, every time you get one of those thoughts, remove that person as a friend. Take a look at their profile, and if you don't see a reason for having them, don't have them anymore.<br /><br />I try to reserve my facebook for real friends. I'll add strangers in other networks no problem, but facebook is where I like to keep just my friends and/or people I used to be friends with. No total strangers though. However, I've added people that I may have met once, say at a party, but have never spoken to again since. They gotta go.<br /><br />The best part of this concept is that it works for everywhere you've added friends online!! I'm also doing it in my Twitter. Anytime I see a person whom I know I'm not into what they tweet about and we never ever speak, I'm deleting them.<br /><br />Granted, there are some networks where you're going to want to keep strangers for one reason or another and that's fine. I do the same. I just think that some areas and places could use a bit of tidying up. A little bit of a dusting. A little <span style="font-weight: bold;">Social Spring Cleaning</span>.<br /><br />I suggest you try it too.40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-28074540234881088592010-03-22T10:41:00.004-04:002010-03-22T11:02:33.620-04:00Do Some Good, Have Some Fun, Attend a #Twestival<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://twestival.com"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 300px;" src="http://twestivalto.com/banners/twestivalto_260x300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Last year around this time I attended a fantastic even known as <a href="http://twestival.com/">#Twestiva</a>l. This is a world-wide event that brings together the Twitter community in local parties for a global cause.<br /><br />Parties are thrown in hundreds of cities around the globe to raise money for charity. Last year the charity of choice was <a href="http://www.charitywater.org/">Charity:Water</a> and the global Twitter community helped to raise over $250,000 which assisted in the building of 55 water wells in Uganda, Ethiopia and India.<br /><br />This year the #Twestival will be raising money for<a href="http://www.concern.net/"> Concern Worldwide</a>. A little bit about Concern Worldwide not in my own words:<br /><br />"<span>Concern is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organization dedicated to the reduction of suffering and working towards the ultimate elimination of poverty. Their mission is to help people living in extreme poverty achieve major improvements in their lives - improvements they can sustain without ongoing support.</span>"<br /><br />Not only does #Twestival help to raise money for good causes, but it's also a really fun time. Last year I attended the local Toronto party, aptly dubbed <a href="http://twestivalto.com/">#TwestivalTO</a>. The party was at Circa Nightclub and featured great tunes, good times and lots of Twitter friends. In fact, it was at this party I met a lot of my online friends in real life for the first time.<br /><br />If you don't believe me it's fun, just <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=twestivalto#page=4">click her</a>e and check out the Flickr set of photo's from the past event for yourself.<br /><br />Anyways. I hope that where ever in the world you're reading this from you can find a #Twestival near you to attend, and if not, you can always donate and watch and follow the parties online.<br /><br />And if you're going to be at the Toronto party, make sure you come say hi to me.<br /><br />For more info and to find a #Twestival near you check out the <a href="http://twestival.com/">official #Twestival site</a>. Through there you can usually get tickets to your local event.<br /><br />So, do some good, have some fun, attend a #Twestival!40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-77749572216235522702010-03-15T00:15:00.003-04:002010-03-15T00:33:02.980-04:00Apartment Shopping is HardLike I said in my last post, I need to move at the end of this month... and I still have no idea where I'm going to live. That means in two weeks I could be homeless.<br /><br />Hopefully, that's not going to happen. I have a good feeling it won't.<br /><br />The worst part about the whole thing is, I don't want to move! I love the apartment that I live in now. I've lived here for over 3 years (minus the time I was in Oz). It's the perfect location. It's a great size. It fits all my stuff perfectly. Best of all the price is amazing.<br /><br />Prices for places have gone up since I found this place. Everywhere I'm looking that's semi-decent is at least $1200 for a one bedroom or $2000 for a two. It's a bit more than I'd like to be paying, but for a good place I think it's just what I'm going to have to do.<br /><br />Another thing is that my current place has character. It's got an exposed brick wall and a great rooftop patio. A lot of the places I've seen are condos. THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!! It's actually a little creepy.<br /><br />Really, I think I'm just a bit weirded out by the idea of living in a condo. I've never lived in a building with more than six units in it, and even those ones were weird. I don't know why I think it's so weird, I just kind of do.<br /><br />I am trying to warm up to the idea of one though. There could be a few good trade offs with living in one. The best one for me is a gym in the building. My current gym is very close to my apartment and I'll probably have to quit it at the end of the month. The idea of trading off a little bit more money in lieu of a gym membership is kind of good. Plus the gym would be right underneath me, which will make timing not always such an issue.<br /><br />Anyways, I have no idea what's going to happen, but I had to write some of this down to get out of my head. I'm kind of going nuts and starting to freak out about it. I really don't want to be homeless. I have too much stuff to be homeless with.<br /><br />I'll let you know what happens.<br /><br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x-26QA2dkEE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x-26QA2dkEE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="364" width="445"></embed></object>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-77203540846061061572010-03-07T00:13:00.002-05:002010-03-07T00:44:18.880-05:00Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/original/change.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 346px; height: 450px;" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/original/change.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Hi!<br /><br />It's been a while since I wrote something in here. My sincere apologies. But that's about to change, along with a bunch of other things.<br /><br />March is a good time to start making some big changes all around. Why? Because at the end of this month I need to move into a new apartment, so it'll be like a fresh start. I plan on using this fresh start in a whole bunch of areas in my life.<br /><br />For one, this blog. This blog used to be my only blog so I used to write about everything in here from personal stuff, to work related stuff, to whatever else I wrote about. Now I have a few blogs that I'm running and writing at the same time, so I'm going to try and keep them all a bit separate. This blog is now going to stay a little bit truer to it's title and become a bit more personal and about whatever I happen to be thinking about or doing when I write it. I'm also going to try to write here a lot more often. I know I've said that before, but this time I really mean it. Changes are happening.<br /><br />For my more work related writings, such as PR, Social media and my quest to find myself the perfect job that combines the two check out (if you haven't already) the blog I started for a class in my Masters program but decided to keep going with, <a href="http://geennpr.blogspot.com/">A Geek In PR</a>.<br /><br />Speaking of work related stuff, that's another thing I'm changing. I spent the last year and half in school and other ways learning and preparing for a job doing PR and social media work, but when I got back from Australia I fell into a job that is completely unrelated. I think I've become a little too comfortable there. While I have been looking for a job PR and social media, I haven't been going at it full force. Well, I'm going to step up my game there. Keep tuned here or on A Geek In PR for good things happening in this area soon.<br /><br />I also have a few other changes to make in mind. There's some health related things I need to change in my life. I also need to actually figure out where it is I will be moving to at the end of this month. I'm going to save these things for some future posts here though. That'll make for content in the future and keep this post short. Always thinking I am.<br /><br />Anyways, watch out for these changes, right here.<br /><br />PS - I'm also making sure that every post in this blog has a song to go with it, cause I think that I let slip in a few posts in the past.<br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UvhGvxuOREw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UvhGvxuOREw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-44753807220605717302009-10-16T04:38:00.009-04:002009-10-16T10:23:34.233-04:00The Ultimate iPhone Project<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSKzhmLWuLkrkqxTRLJ_xIFCwCskTokJdK9zqZolej6H5r2dF1rVBSmY0MfsIPJHEsCvIMrrnplClEV4S82gTFnTEJLkELlphVdmCvziarj883Wi7oQI0D_9x4Elbu-xHeX2PvaypwK56/s1600-h/IMG_0207.PNG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSKzhmLWuLkrkqxTRLJ_xIFCwCskTokJdK9zqZolej6H5r2dF1rVBSmY0MfsIPJHEsCvIMrrnplClEV4S82gTFnTEJLkELlphVdmCvziarj883Wi7oQI0D_9x4Elbu-xHeX2PvaypwK56/s320/IMG_0207.PNG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393117150459406642" /></a><br />Anyone who knows me knows I love my iPhone. It's my baby. I ordered a special case for it off the internet because I couldn't find one in stores that would protect my baby enough. I don't know what I'd do with out it.<div><br /></div><div>I'm also always searching for things to make my baby better. New apps. Themes. Plug-ins. Whatever.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, <a href="http://twitter.com/Scobleizer">Robert Scoble</a> tweeted <a href="http://post.ly/8f61">this link to AppsFire's blog</a> that shows (what I assume can only be some of) the apps that he is using on his iPhone. I thought it was interesting to see what apps he uses. That inspired me to come up with this recent harebrained scheme entitled "The Ultimate iPhone Project".</div><div><br /></div><div>I want to know what apps you're using and loving in order to make my iPhone (and hopefully yours too) into The Ultimate iPhone.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a really simple and easy project that I'm hoping a lot of people will be interested in helping out with. All you need to do is leave a comment with what you're using and think is the best thing for your iPhone. This can be apps, themes (for jailbroken iPhones), games, whatever you think is the best of the best on your iPhone.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now my phone is only a 3G, which means I can't use apps that require the compass on the 3GS, but that doesn't mean you can't post any of them here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, free and/or cheap apps are preferred (as I'm still a broke student), but if something is really worth the money you paid for it, put it up.</div><div><br /></div><div>I thought I'd start with listing some of the apps on my 1st iPhone page and what I think of them to get the ball rolling.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>My theme - right now I'm using the illumine theme. I like (and am looking for) themes that are cool and sleek, don't require a lot of changing things around to make them look good and ones that don't have app icons that are so crazy that they make my apps whose icons don't change look very out of place</li><li><br /></li><li>Battery percentage - through SB Settings (must be jailbroken to use) so I can see how much battery I actually have left</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285692706&mt=8">Score Mobile</a> - I use this for my sports updates. I like the easy to use and read interface, but am willing to try something else</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=294356874&mt=8">Weather Eye</a> - I use this one because they're the weather channel I watch at home in Toronto and it gives me more details than the one that comes with the phone</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=286756410&mt=8">TwitterFon</a> - this is the current mobile Twitter client I'm using. (I also haven't updated it since they changed the free one to have ads. I think they now call it echofon) Always willing to try a new one. I use tweetdeck on my laptop, so wouldn't mind trying their iPhone app one day</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=281796108&mt=8">Evernote</a> - I used to use this app a lot both on my computer and iPhone (they sync with each other) to remember everything, but now can't remember the last time I used it. Willing to take this off the front page</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284993459&mt=8">Shazam</a> - great for finding out the name of a song that's playing, but I don't really use it a lot</li><li><br /></li><li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284881860&mt=8">NetNewsWire</a> - I got this because I use their RSS reader on my desktop so I liked that they synced. Now that the desktop version uses Google Reader to sync, I'm willing to try any app that will sync with my google rss</li><li><br /></li><li>Icy & Cydia - I use Cydia for finding jailbroken apps and themes, but can't say I've opened Icy more than once. Should take that one off the first page as well.</li><li><br /></li><li>Categories - (available through Cydia on jailbroken iPhones) you can't see it on my homepage there, but I use Categories to make folders on my second page so that I don't have 1,000 pages worth of apps. The folders I made are "games", "useful stuff" and "fun stuff"</li></ul><div><br /></div>Ok, now that I've got the ball rolling, it's your turn! Leave a comment and let me know what your iPhone favs are. Also, please share this and tell your friends to join in as well. Hopefully we can collaboratively put together The Ultimate iPhone.</div><div><br /></div><div>After I start to get a bunch of suggestions I can try out I'll update everyone with how I change my iPhone. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-87123066643605577582009-09-21T11:26:00.003-04:002009-09-21T11:40:27.949-04:00I'm Not Rude, I Just Don't See The PointJust wanted to say this: <div>I don't understand why some people feel the need to thank everyone that retweets something they said or shared on twitter.</div><div><br /></div><div>The other day someone said thank you for retweeting a link they posted. The thing was, it wasn't a link to something they had wrote, it was just something they had shared because it was interesting. This wasn't the first time this has happened either and I just don't see the point.</div><div><br /></div><div>I post links on twitter because I thought something was interesting and I wanted others to see it. If someone retweets it than that's awesome, more people will see it and probably think it's interesting too. That's what I put it there for.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll thank someone if I put up a personal request like "I'm looking for info on ...." and someone on my list who may not know the answer will retweet it. They just did me a personal favour and I'll thank them for that. I just don't (usually) see retweeting a link I posted as a real favour.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some people will say it helps to build relationships, but if you want to do that with me I'd rather we engaged and talked about whatever it was I just posted. That would help build a relationship with me.</div><div><br /></div><div>But thank you to anyone who ever has or will retweet something I post.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's just my personal thought on that.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aH-Kpw1tPK4&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aH-Kpw1tPK4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-35240659323706355752009-09-21T10:47:00.003-04:002009-09-21T11:15:14.290-04:00Not The Brand I Was Looking For, But Maybe For You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://personalbrandingbook.com/Images/coversmall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 173px; height: 259px;" src="http://personalbrandingbook.com/Images/coversmall.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Before I left for my trip <a href="http://a-d-d-onpaper.blogspot.com/2009/05/building-my-personal-brand.html">I said</a> that I was going to read Dan Schawbel's <i>Me 2.0</i>. Well, I finally did and here's my thoughts.<div><br /></div><div>I would recommend this book to a lot of people, but it wasn't what I was looking for.</div><div><br /></div><div>I bought this book looking for some new ideas on how I can expand my 40deuce name, my personal brand. This book was more for recent graduates who are looking to explore new ways to try and make them stand out in a job search. Most of the ideas revolved around using web 2.0/ social media to their advantage. </div><div><br /></div><div>Most of the things the book recommended were ways to use social media, which I think I'm kind of on top of already. I would however recommend this book to people who are coming out of school and aren't as involved in using social media. If that's you, I would highly suggest you take a look at this book and try at least some of the ideas Schawble presents. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now don't get me wrong, I don't think it was a total waste of my time. The book did give me a few new ideas and even a few ideas to fix up some of my old ideas. Schawbel definitely knows what he's talking about and holds quite an impressive resume (which kind of makes me mad, cause I think he's younger than me).</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, I think that aybe I should have looked more into a book on branding for my whole 40deuce life, but since I'm going to finishing my schooling days in the next 2 months and will be on the job hunt, I'm glad I read the book. BUT, if you're already have a job and are really into social media, you may not want to bother reading it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think this song goes with the get a job theme (plus it's funny because the drummer was my manager at the bar I worked at back home):</div><div><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pSDF8VvU13M&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pSDF8VvU13M&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>40deuce</div>40deucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688000059039672633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641937203350822727.post-37204605120390531232009-08-12T10:18:00.002-04:002009-08-12T10:29:17.096-04:00I Have Something Else For You To Read<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thekillerj.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/super-computer-nerd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 530px; height: 402px;" src="http://thekillerj.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/super-computer-nerd.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Just in case anybody actually reads this blog...
