/ Entertainment, Movies & Television

Please, for the love of god, stop making movies. Whatever magic you used to bring to the table evaporated a long time ago.
As you can tell, I saw the new Indiana Jones movie on the weekend. Unfortunately, I didn’t really enjoy it, and found myself looking at my cell phone from time to [...]

CityTV Steals Images, Forced To Give On-Air Apology

CityTV Steals Images, Forced To Give On-Air Apology
Thursday, May 22, 2008
/ Entertainment

I read this article this morning, and as a photographer, found it rather surprising. A few weeks ago CityTV used some guy’s photos off of Flickr and used them in an on-air broadcast. The person who took them did talk to someone from CityTV, but did not give them permission to use the [...]

Yesterday afternoon I placed a few calls and booked myself into the Calgary hotel where all the media are staying for the Junos. It’s right downtown and should be close to all the major events. I actually have a few friends from high school out that way, so I’m looking forward to seeing [...]

/ Entertainment, Vancouver

My birthday is fast approaching, and the only real event I’m looking forward to is having a plate of nachos somewhere in the city with a friend or two. So, my question to all of you is: where are the best nachos in this city?
My favourites so far are probably the ones [...]

Wednesday, March 12, 2008
/ Entertainment, music

When the Juno awards were announced a few months ago, I put my name on the list for media accreditation. I didn’t hear anything for a while, so I sort of assumed it wasn’t going through.
Today I got an email saying I had a media pass, which means I have full access [...]

How I Hate And Love Apple TV

How I Hate And Love Apple TV

Yes it’s true. Apple TV is both a blessing and a curse. Tonight, as I sprawled out the couch at home, I chipped away about $10 off my iTunes account, watching movies, South Park, and recently just purchased the first episode of Lost from season one.
It’s really great having some [...]

I’m not going to write too much about the concert tonight since I wrote an entry over on matthewgood.org about it. But it was a lot of fun, and it was great to see Matt off on the first show of his tour. Not only was the concert really fantastic (thanks [...]

/ Entertainment, Friends and Family

John and I made it. I was pounding back caffeine most of the way which meant I had to pee a lot, but we’re at the Holiday Inn now (yes, very classy I know), having a liquid dinner in the hotel.

We’ll be heading down to the Tractor Tavern in about 90 minutes [...]
