Today is vacation to the max. Our friends pool/backyard is wicked awesome.

So funny. I feel like we’re kids again.

I crashed on this pile.

It’s beautiful out today!

Hope you are enjoying it.

Love from Boston.

travel diary: YYZ > BOS

Walked to the airport with my sis yesterday. Toronto is an amazing city.

Almost certain this guy is the same model from the Mark’s style thing I did last week. This ‘type’ is often used in ads. Maybe he just has ‘the look’?

Worlds shortest Ferry ride.

Jenie is starting to look more & more like you Mum.

The red plane is Air Greenland. Keri & I were certain it was some type of fancy Air Canada thinger.

If you have never flown Porter, wait for the next 30% off seat sale (I will post) and book yourself a ticket. Best service ever. Jenie wanted to buy a snack and I said “You can’t if you tried, everything is FREE”. Freemium.

I’m a barrista now too BTW.

Gella skin for my PC. He’s about to be upstaged by a new MACBOOK AIR.

FLYING! Bye Toronto, ILU.

Ha! A planking joke. Hilarious.

Welcome to the USA! Got in troubs for taking photos here. Sorry, I’m Canadiamazing.

First stop was taking my sis to Quincy Market. Her first time in Beantown.

They have your style here Raymi. Heaps of different ones too.

Do you know what is on their heads?

CONDOMS! It’s a Dick’s thing. Funny kinda I guess. Kids have them on their heads. OMG.

CHEERS!

Beautiful weather all weekend. Heck yeah. Going in the pool after I hit publish!

This is why you’re fat. Bagels. Omg. I did not eat.

Didn’t eat this either. Feasted with eyes only.

I did eat some chowda though. Heaps good.

Tried two kinds, marked one was way better.

Team Boston: Me, E1e, Bobcat & Jenie

Had dinner in this lovely old school Italian resto. Was delish.

Went to the famed Mike’s to grab some pasty.

Mega long line.

The pedi cabs are so online. Love seeing this type of advertising.

Time to get on the vacation train. Sista has already been in the pool. The sun is calling me and I’m ready to pick up the phone. Have an awesome day 🙂

you missed this yesterday

You have to do stuff that average people don’t understand, because those are the only good things.

Gong to Boston today with my sister. Still haven’t finished my a deck I’ve been working on. So beauty outside. Was at Steamwhistle for a friends work party last night. I love corporate events. So fun. Gonna walk to the airport today. I feel cool doing that. A friend said every time they look at soccer star Megan Rapino, they think of me. Did you read about Raymi in The Grid. The comments are appalling. Shame on you internet. These photos are from my tumblr. Title is a quote by Andy Warhol.

Have an awesome day 🙂

you missed this yesterday

video: you’ve got mail.

A Couple Things:

  • Thank you Alex from Riverdale Mac for the Alu Pen Stylus. It’s got a nice weight to it and the design is pretty. Will be using it to draw some amazing things on iPad Andy.
  • The stuff from Etsy was ordered one late Friday night way over a month ago and well before the postage strike, that’s why I forgot. The accessories you order from HK are super cheap. Make sure you wash them when you get them cause once I got a rashy neck from a necklace. It sucked.
  • Lauren’s printer giveaway is here. Send her something to print and you could win. I need to think of a contest idea for mine so if you have any ideas, lemme know.
  • Have an awesome day.

The Science of Social: Periodic Table & Google+

Came across this last night on Google+ via Drew Olanoff. Good find. So many networks, omg. How many are you on? Click the photo to see it in large size.

Been playing around in Google+ for the last week. It’s cool. Has potential. I’m a Google Fan Girl so I love seeing & testing out their new technologies & products. If you aren’t in yet, sign up here. Chris Brogan wrote about getting started here.

One thing I am really loving is following people that inspire me and getting to see their posts The newsfeed reminds me of a blog. It’s clean & easy to navigate. Talking about this makes me want to draw wireframes.

I’ve not had many conversation or a ‘hangout’ on video yet but I will soon. I wanna carve out some time to dive right in & organize my circles. Sounds so nerdy & I love it. These are some screen shots from my profile.

Activity happening:

Mashable posted some pretty funny parody videos and this one is my fav. The “Hitler Learns” series never fails. Kudos to whoever out there on the internet created this, you are funny.

Social networking FTW! Ha.

someecards.com - I can't wait for Google Plus to reunite me with everyone I blocked on Facebook.

P.S. Monday I’m speaking on a Panel at MaRs.

The panel is a Panel Discussion on Panel Discussions. It’s going to be interesting. The other speakers are very smart & good looking. You should come. Get a free ticket here. If you ever want to host a panel, this will give you valuable information on how to avoid making mistakes.

“your passion” she said

This evening I got an email from a blog reader who recently moved here from England. She said she loved my passion for life. I was sitting at my computer looking at a list of things I should have done already and feeling slightly overwhelmed. Her few words changed my day. I don’t really share emails I get from people but sometimes they are inspiring, this was one. Thank you Ashley 🙂

I love GIF making and the internet. It’s amazing how we connect using it. Think, you are reading this right now. I wrote it after being inspired by an email that someone wrote to me after reading this very same location that we are connecting at right here again after they were inspired by something I did outside. Crazy isn’t it?

Found this empty park place near Fort York & Bathurst the other day. Jumped around a bit.

Posed for this photo and a plane was landing right behind me as I turned around. Neato!

Remember how I always say “You are younger today than you will ever be again.” I’m reminding you to make the most of each day. Maybe there is someone you want to send an email to & thank them? I wrote a quick note to Mum letting I know I’m thinking of her. They are sailing somewhere near Virginia at this very moment. I bet it’s beautiful.

Thursday I go to Boston with my sister to see friends. Tres excited! A getaway from the city always makes me love it more. Flying Porter & planning to walk to the airport. Basically walking from my house straight to Boston! Yeeow!

Have an awesome day!

They have a contest @H8NHRTBRK.

Cutie Shannon blogs too.

So good to have Carly back in town. Missed you ♥

Nice hair blogging blowing in the wind.

He went to Elite today. They want him to model but he’s Australian & not staying here so it’s a no go. Too bad. I had him practice for me.

Home time. Outfits were a hit. You will see more of them before Summer is over. I wish I had one of these things for each of the girls. It would be deadly.

P.S. Lauren is giving away a printer! Her unboxing video is awesome.  I have an HP unit for you this week too. Stay tuned!
