FALLING FASHIONABLY

Base Jumping is cool enough, but why not step it up a notch and make it really triply. GET FASHIONABLE! Ha ha. How funny they pull this off with typical aloof model poses even. This is great and well edited too!

MY MOM RAISED 84,000 FOR CANCER

Since 2004 my super mom has helped raise a huge amount of funds for the Canadian Cancer Society with her gift wrapping. Interestingly, she also was instrumental in purchasing the first kidney dialysis machine for the Ottawa hospital many years ago. My mom is great! HERE IS THE GLOBAL TV SPOT (THE VIDEO LINK IS BELOW THE PHOTO) http://globalnews.ca/video/1042207/christmas-wrapping-for-cancer I am...

COLOURING BOOK CARTOONS WITH XRAY SKELETONS

This is really rather cool. Drawn by artist Chris Panda. I think the subtleties are really fun… have a look at Popeye’s forearm and most importantly the Sylvester image… I always disliked that rotten little bird 😉

FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH

Wow just go to 2:11 to see what this amazing Russian trio can pull off for strength and flexibility. What they do at 1:07 is interesting too… The rest of the running about dancy moves are filler it seems, but I guess Cirque de Soliel does that too 😉

FALSE ADVERTISING PERHAPS…

Credibility = zero! I think Social Shopper, Groupon, etc are often pushing companies that are over inflating prices to then over discount them to seem like a deal… I coined the phrase “over-deal” Either this place offering laser work is totally desperate and may not be around much longer OR they are overstating the value of the service and no one holds them accountable to justify...

THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE FUN WITH PROPERTY TAX

Yes I really sent this envelope off to the Property tax people. I did speak with someone there (who subsequently has become a friend too) so I figured this would not get me in hot water or make them confiscate my property for being a “ninny” I am sure you could have recognized Samuel L. Jackson from my drawing, but I guess my Cameron Diaz is not perfect. I will practice....

INDOOR SKYDIVING

What a hoot. This is at VEGAS INDOOR SKYDIVING. You should really try this. Easy too. It is funny that they really have to state strongly to NOT have anything in your pockets or it can get sucked into the jet engine and recirculated right back at you. Yep, that means you get could get a coin slammed at you at 120 miles and hour. Thanks to all there for helping us make our TV Pilot about fun...

GRASSHOPPER PUB IN PENDER HARBOUR ON FIRE

The lovely grasshopper pub in Pender Harbour caught fire this morning. I heard by text from a friend in North Van and there is a photo that Colton Edwardson took. This is his image. What a shame. This is such a great spot and the staff are so nice. I wish all the best and trust the wonderful bunch of volunteer fire fighters at are handling well and are keeping safe. My friend Kerry Rand is both...

ABANDONED PLACES THAT LOOK AMAZING

Here are a few very cool looking places that are a mix of isolated, abandoned and sometimes scary. This first one is on my list of a place I’d love to see. The sunken boat in Antarctica creeps me out the most. I don’t know why… maybe cold water scares me? Kalavantin Durg near Panvel, India Kalavantin durg is situated aside the prabalgad,the pinnacle is in clouds during rains...

OLD BIKE BECOMES NEW

Ok it is not that old at all, but the parts on this Trek bike were the horrible Sram ones and made me crazy. Huge thanks to my friend Alex (Sasha) who did the big swap for me. I rode this today and it felt like a new bike. Yahoo. This DURACE stuff is really nice. So glad to have it on there today. I am almost convinced the parts made me faster too.

A MAN IN HIS SANDBOX WITH AMAZING SHELL PATTERN

GREAT PHOTO of A FUNNY DRESSED MAN STANDING IN HIS SANDBOX. He obviously spent a great deal of time arranging this collection of shells in a pretty pattern. Wow is he talented! How fun that this gardener was photographed at the PERFECT time when the sun was 100 percent above him since not even one glimmer of a shadow is visible. You may think this is photo of someone falling from a plane over...

HOW TO TAKE TRAVEL PHOTOS THAT DONT SUCK

Just out in the Sept 2013 Issue of Outpost. I wrote this for Hostelling International, one of my great sponsors. I hope you like it and it and it is helpful for you to “turn up the good, and turn down the suck” These should display below from pages 1 to 3… sorry if the twitter postings appear on the right over the first page… I am working on that.

BURNER BINGO

PROGRESS PHOTOS ANIMATE

This is just a sample to show my client how I can take my progress report image and align them seamlessly so they can see the nuances of the growth and changes over the project duration. This is just 4 visits aligned to show the concept. I think I have 12 visits. Click arrows back and forth to see the changes appear and disappear. very cool. GROWING...

LOOK AGAIN AT THESE PHOTOS. HILARIOUS

TOO FUNNY! THESE ARE PHOTOS that you need to do a double take on. They are NOT exactly what you may first think. Funny that one was listed as banned by facebook too. Enjoy! Some of these wedding goers are not short people… Love this one. The man is not a tiny fellow riding on her back… This baby does not have a man’s face… Her arm is not really that hairy… Nice...

GOOGLE CAT! Google Street view mistake creates a new species

What a hoot. this apparently happened yesterday (May 6). I would love to find out the coordinates to see where, but maybe that is not posted to avoid alerting Google Street views to fix it. I support that idea… This is spacey, hip and cool! I want a cat like that! I think the cat looks like a Dr. Suess Character! You can also see some fun garage sale warriors bowing for google cam…....

CHOCOLATE BANNED IN AMERICA BUT GUNS OK

Yep it is true, it is absolutely illegal to bring kinder eggs into the US and you will be treated very harshly if you do so. I heard a bit on the radio where someone was being threatened about being fined $2500 each for this egregious affront to the US law. since she had 24 of them as gifts, that meant a fine of $60,000 USD. The US claims it is a choking hazard. So banned, but Canada and most of...
