Something happened at school yesterday Mum. One of the kids posted a list of all the ‘popular’ kids and everyone started talking. Like, enough talking to make some noise.

Zach named the “Top 150 Toronto Twitter Influencers” based on Klout ranking. Here’s the top 20. Last Summer Klout published the Toronto Top 10 Influencers.

The reactions reminded me of being back at PHS, I’m pretty sure a list like this was passed around there once or twice.

If you’re not familiar with Klout (duh?), Klout is the Standard of Influence Online and ranks people based on their social interactions and conversations (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).

This is what the new Klout Dashboard looks like:

Zach is known to stir controversy & likes to get people talking. Prime example, this tweet.  He’s also the one behind recent Canada’s Sexiest Election Candidate poll. There’s heaps of comments & reactions on his #TOTop150 post. I reckon Klout appreciates the attention, I’ve seen them get lots of it over the last year. Remember last summer when a bunch of us got free flights? That was fun.

How we interact with each other on the Internet is new to everyone. I love developments in social tracking, analytics & metrics such as this. Klout has established themselves as the online standard but I reckon clout with a ‘C’ is more important in the world. Hey, there’s no ranking scale for that one, baby.

Fashion people don’t care about Klout scores, some people do.

Then this happened… (Up to 1,666 views at 3:33am)

Uh, ohhhhhh.

While this was happening I was lazing around not Tweeting. Had a real nice afternoon. Took photos of pretty flowers & coloured with rainbow Pepsi markers. Picked up my fav ever cacao quinoa cereal from Kensington. Watched Netflix. Took a nap.

Oh btw did you see how high my stock is on Empire Avenue? Top 10 business stock and yesterday CASIE net wealth passed a million. That ‘first million’ saying counts on the social stock to right? Sana saaaaaaaa.

The other night I was at Bedford Academy for dinner & drinks with some of my fav friends to celebrate Renee‘s visit from SF. Haven’t seen Renee since she moved and it was so nice to see her in IRL. WE MISS YOU RENEE! ♥

We felt it was a good idea for her to make a speech. It went something like this…

Tried to take some pano shots of the crew but I’ve not mastered shooting people this way. I’m learrrrrrning still.

Most of us in this group met early 2009 through events like Twestival, GenYTO, CanLit and patio Tweetups. It’s amazing to see how everyone has evolved over the last few years. We’re a passionate group of young people working with new technology in mobile, social and web.  When we started GenYTO this was our mission, to unite the “wired, creative and ambitious young people in the in the Toronto startup, marketing, PR and tech community.”

This is me on My City Lives around this time last year talking about how my friends in the Toronto tech community have inspired me.

You might recognize a few of these awesome people 😉

I reckon it’s time to plan GenYTO Summer 2011. Ideas welcome. LMK.

Don’t ever forget that. Your thoughts are real things. Your thoughts become things. If you believe it you can achieve it. Go bold & conquer your dreams!

My gay roommate from Sweden in Australia loved this song. LOVE YOU JUUSO BABY! xo

Well helloooooooooooo dah’ling, welcome.

This is the boat I went on, Capt. Matthew Flinders.

He’s Australian & kinda special.

Captain Matthew Flinders RN (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) was one of the most successful navigators and cartographers of his age. In a career that spanned just over twenty years, he sailed with Captain William Bligh, circumnavigated Australia and encouraged the use of that name for the continent, which had previously been known as New Holland.

I’M KING QUEEN OF THE WORLD CITY. I kid I kid, this will never stop being funny to me. I don’t even give a care what you think about it either.

Ahoy, matey!

Eat her dress, do it. So pretty in the sunshine she was.

Who thinks we should have a party here? Say ‘ai ai’ & raise yo hand.

Gamble?

Mariposa Cruises went all out for this mixer. Loved it.

Didn’t have any of these.

This yes.

And a whole lotta this.

Then we met Mysterion.

I wrote down a word on this paper and he had his eyes closed then HE GUESSED IT. I know, awesome & Casie go together but he didn’t even KNOW ME.

Then we had round two and I drew cherries, folded it up and put it in his hand and HE DREW THE SAME THING. Fahhhh, this guy is good man.

Keri drew a server and he drew a set of drawers (obvs he didn’t think of server) but STILL. Holy kaw.

Our city is so beautiful. View from the water/island is dreamy.

Mr. Mariposa, Jason Lambert. New BFF! HI JASON!

Hey Bloggeratti!

Social(ites). Few beers deep by this time.

Then I are some meat. With my hands. BARBARIAN.

You bet your ass I filled my purse w/ candy. Jason encouraged me, he didn’t know any better.

Thank you Mariposa Cruises for the invite. We had a blast.

This is the mind twisted fork.

Ok, to be honest, mighta had a little tooooo much fun 😉

All class none the less.

Kinda.

These are for you Mum. Gonna go raid your garden when I go home next weekend and pick flowers for everyone. Love you!!!!

Have an awesome day!

Oh hai, Princess Casie here with a beer. Somebody likes to have f-u-n.

Yep, these are my friends. They are great.

You guys remember Rightsleeve? Done a bunch of things with them over the last year.

Hawaii & I, proud parents of Triangle & Eviana. If this makes no sense to you, you haven’t been paying attention to the baby saga.

Thanks for a fun time Rightsleeve. You know I love ya. BTW, I also love these! So rad.

Hope you enjoy my audio on this 😉 Happy Friday!

I heard that he has always had this ability, like since he was a kid. I dunno, this kinda magic freaks me out but I think it’s cool. I’m way more into magic that tarot cards or fortune tellers. You will NOT see me attending any of those sessions.  I had an astrology reading at Kabbalah from Tamar this lovely lady from Israel once, it was expensive & informative. That was enough for me. I know my destiny & where I’m going. I know what I gotta focus on to get there too.

Magic man is Mysterion the Mindreader. He must be cool, we have like 70+ common friends on FB. haha! I tried to trick him into reading my mind over Facebook. It wasn’t successful.

Moohaha, you can’t read my mind through the Internet Mysterion!!

Awesome. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir Canada’s and North America’s first-ever Olympic Ice Dance Champions. They were so nice. I chatted with them on camera for a couple mins. Video & photos from the event(s) to come. This was too exciting not to share.  I LOVE THEM. 🙂

This is advance notice for you to MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR MAY 31, 2011

It’s a PEPSI THROWBACK PARTY!

I’ve been working with Pepsi to plan a totally awesome PEPSI THROWBACK party for Tuesday, May 31st. I’ll share more details with you about getting there & where to go on Monday. I just couldn’t wait to tell you!

Original cool w/ real sugar. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Whole bunch of new photos from the (totally awesome) Puma Social event surfaced the other day. What fond (foggy) memories I have of that night. Pretty excited to tell you about a new brand partnership later today. Stay tuned for that one. You gonna likey 🙂

To relive the experience or see pix visit BongoPix here.

This weekend I hosted CUTC 2011 at U of T w/ Keri. It is Canada’s largest tech conference for Uni students in Canada. I was proud to  join the awesome list of speakers in attendance.

They made this name tag for me. Thanks guys 😉

Keynote speakers included Matt Flannery (Co-founder and CEO of Kiva) , Alexis Ohanian (Co-founder of reddit.com & Founder of Breadpig), and Ariel Garten (CEO of InteraXon).

This room filled up fast with about 500 students! [waves hi to the crowd]

My City Lives were in part of the technology fair during lunch break. I was happy to introduce two of my fav people, Adil & Keri.

Reckon I like being a speaker more than a host and look forward to more speaking engagements this year. So far I’ve spoken at U of  T to Communication Culture & Information Tech students (CCIT), Centennial College to PR students (CCPR), Fashion Connect TO and been involved with some rad events.  Couple more conferences on the horizon before the year is done!  If you think I would be informative/fun to have speak at your event, school, office or conference email [email protected].

This is cue for speaker on stage to wrap it up. Felt rude holding this! haha.

Beautiful out there today! Enjoy it.

You know I love my bike, biking, bicyclette. If you don’t, you might wanna do some homework in the company Bike archives. (Duh, where have you been?)

There she is. She needs a physical, some real attention. Let’s hope she’s gonna make it. Last week I dropped her off to the Curbside Cycle  on Bloor to see if we can bring her back to life.  Fingers crossed!

I was introduced to Curbside after learning they carried the ORONTAS BikeCare line. Orontas is an alternative oil company with “a reckless commitment to do better”.  Their products are biodegradable, petroleum-free and they look nice. Attention bike nerds/hipsters, you should have this stuff already. It just came out Spring 2011.

Orontas is a lifestyle maintenance company based in Toronto (cool eh!).  They manufacture and distribute high performance, sustainable and nontoxic products (and tongue twisters). I read on the Curbside Blog that Cervelo uses this stuff.

Make your bike sexy & lube it up with ORONTAS products from Curbside Cycle w/ Plant-Based Lube – $13CAN/300g, BikeCare Cleaner – $14CAN/240ml, BikeCare Lubricant – $14CAN/240ml or the Waterproof Grease – $15CAN/115g.

Hello Pantone family friends.

You are real pretty. I like you.

Hey Michael, bicycle, bicycle!

These bikes are neat. Reminds me of the Marvel Wheelchair.

I have a blog called Nutcase, you probably never heard of it.

Curbside has some really sweet helmets. Deff high in the style department. I have a white bern helmet.

These are my fav helmets Yakkay “brainwear for smart people“.

Only found in Canada at Curbside Cycle.  I mentioned them May 18th, 2009 when you could only order them from the interwebs.  (Early adopter)

I look like a dork here but the helmets have this cute hat covering on them and look cool. See the one behind me there? Once you take off the hat part it’s one of those little black motorcycle helmets.

I like bright things. Lights are good for your bike. Safety is cool. These little lights are $11.99 and you can easily put on/take off  for convenience.

Looking at all this stuff get’s yer gears going, y’know. So many wants. I love my old bike but, imagine a new bike…Pantone yellow I have my eye on you.

Basket = essential. Easily pops on & off  for convenience. Especially convenient when you go to the park or have a basket full of books beers. I suggest getting s sturdy one.

Doesn’t this look nice for your hands? Yup.

Really like this bike. Pashley, original British bike.

Brooks leather saddle. Better for your butt.

Drum breaks.

The light uses a hub dynamo (small electric generator) to power it. Swoooooooooon.

The shop is full of cool gadgets to pimp your ride.

Then a guy came in with this bike he made in welding class. Check this out Dad! So cool.

These are only a few of my fav things. To see for yourself go visit the Curbside Cycle at 412 Bloor Street West or call them 416.920.4933. The staff are all rad people I reckon I would have beers with.

The other day I went w/ Raymi to the Yuk Yuk’s for the Great Canadian Laugh Off. I’d never been there before. Crazy eh, considering how funny I am much I like to laugh. VIP style, obviously.

It was a good a show. The winner, Mark Debonis won $25k. Way to go funny guy.

There were some sweet judges like Michael Cox (Talent Executive at Chelsea Lately) & Ashley Olivia (Talent Coordinator for Conan O’Brien). Hi Chelsea! Thanks to Peter Lawrent for inviting us. I’d gladly come back!

Hopefully next time I go back it’s to see my girl,  Lauren O’Nizzle. She recently did her first stand up at The Rivoli. Next time she does it I will find out ahead of time so we can all go and heckle her cheer her on. Blondetourage FTW!

Here’s to some good lunch time laughs. Enjoy! 🙂

I’m guessing you have seen this commercial? Dolphin guitar? DQ has been rockin’ some funny ones lately. I also have a crush on thie DQ guy. Couple friend said he’s “my type”. Tall handsome babe with facial hair who is funny and can play guitar? Check.

Today, I’m heading down to Yonge & Dundas today just after 11 to take a bite ouf of this MASSIVE cake. Dairy Queen Canada is celebrating the 30th Birthday of its ice cream cake by attempting a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest ice cream cake .

Giant cake will be live in the Square for us starting at noon. Part that blows my mind is how BIG it is: 20 thousand pounds of ice cream, 200 pounds of sponge cake and 300 pounds of icing and OREO crumble assembled by a team of approximately 100 DQ experts.

Bring your kids, colleagues, neighbours and friends – there will be more than enough to go around!

All I have to say about it is this… SANASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

How beautiful are these roses? They light up my room.

This song is a real good one. Selah Sue has an awesome voice. I hope to meet her one day.

Looks real pretty outside today! Balloons have gone down but they brighten things up.

haha.

You get older every day, here’s to a new year! Exciting!

Celebrate Sister! She came and helped mama clean her room. Best. Present. Ever!

Oh, Tower. Love shots from this spot in the park. So fun.

Thank you for the pretty flowers my friends. ILU.

Special number is 8 ( 4 and 2 also).

An interesting sight to see! There’s always something going on down by the bay lake.

Keri is my BFF (her blog) and she is the best bff everrr. She got me a few goodies including a balloons & a water gun!

Gun is for glitter water. BEWARE. Gllitter tissue paper! Weeeeee.

This special guy & roll on glitter too. It’s about to get serious.

Wore a vest Mum made out for dinner last night. We went to O NOIR. This crazy awesome resto where you dine in the dark.

I’m talking 100% pitch black where the servers are BLIND. It was really fun. The food was good, best part was the experience. I could not see a thing.  All of a sudden your other senses became so important; touch, taste, hearing, smell. I suggest going with someone you already know/like.

Start this at 1:20. So good.

8 roses for a special lady born on May 8th. Thank you 🙂

New graffiti since yesterday.

Remember: You are younger today than you will ever be.
