i want to eat your brain #zombiewalk

Toronto Zombie Walk is Saturday. Need help getting zombified? I’ve been going for years and have got the gettin’ dead & bloody down to a science. Walk starts in the bowl at Bellwoods 2pm. Be prepared to see about 6,000 dead, blood soaked people eating brains. Two years ago I made this video. I scare myself. Check out my post “How to Zombie” for the perfect blood recipe. Bon appetit!

changing the way we capture the world

Good Morning world! How are you today? I’m thinking I might evacuate my closet of old items and finally see the floor. It’s practically an episode of hoarders in there right now. Shame on me! Tried Chipotle for the first time the other day when I was at YD Square for Koodonation. It was good. Hung out at Peach Berserk this week helping Kingi with some internetty things. She made me a shirt with my face on it 🙂 You know you gonna want one. Lots of nice things in the store. Colour explosion! Looks kinda gloomy out. Winter is coming. The cold yesterday reminded me how much I love to hibernate. Snuggled up on the couch in wool & blankets and fell asleep with the TV on.  New camera arrived Friday, Olympus PEN E-PM1, 12.3 mpx. It’s more compact than the PEN 2 I’ve been shooting with. I’m part of the Olympus Pen Ready Project; 1,000 photographers around the world shooting with the new compact PEN Canera. I’l #884/1000. My profile & photos (will be) here.  Beans & I are about to make brekky. Gonna make a bacon & egg pie today too.  New Zealand staple and no, not a quiche! This water commercial is neat. Thanks to Patricia for sharing.

Love the finishing touches of  the arm band & goggles. Bike colour is a nice touch too. Lookin’ good. I’m stoked to pick out my outfit and ride in style. See you there old chaps 😉

what’s your favourite place in the world?

When I was at Flight Centre today I looked at the map of the world and dreamed about spinning around and picking a destination. Been really missing NZ & Aus but have never been to Europe or Asia. I want to explore new territory. I want to travel. Where should I go?

Social Change Through the Social Web: The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind

Today I’m biking over to Yonge Dundas Square (where I won a car last week!) to launch koodonation.com, an online hub that connects volunteers with non-profits through micro-volunteering. There’s gonna be a fun ‘Wipeout’ style game for uni kids and I’m a judge with Jeremy Taggart of Our Lady Peace and Daniel Johnson from Stereos. The whole fun event is hosted by Sheena from MTV Live. We’re volunteering our time and Koodonation.com is making a $20,000 contribution to a charity of our choice. My charity is the Moving Windmills Project which supports Malawian-run rural economic development and education projects in Malawi. Mum introduced me to William’s story and I wanted to get involved. Here’s his TED Talk so you can be inspired too. For more info on micro-volunteering in Canada see Koodonation on Newswire here or check out the site at koodonation.com. If you’re around today come to YD Square & say HELLOOOOOO!
