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!

Canada’s Cutest Bloggers

Fans waving in the background. Best outfit ever.

Here we go. Canada’s Cutest Bloggers, get ready for it.

Keri, Chief Security babe of the Internet.

HELLO BLONDETOURAGE. We all blog too. L-R Lauren, Casie, Raymi, Keri, Carly. Click each name to follow the Blondetourage on Twitter.

We’ve we update the internet every day and only do things that are awesome.

Raymi did a burlesque number to Florence & The Machine. Posted some pix in this album. You might wanna check those from home FYI.

We were celebrating the launch of Kristen’s online stoke Hate & Heartbreak: Clothing for the bruised and broken.

She is also a blonde blogging babe. So cute.

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!

just let it out.

It’s really warm out today. I’m not feeling motivated. I should go outside. I have work to do. I can have my office anywhere. Sand is bad for the computer and it’s hard to see in the sun. I need one of those screen shields for my computer and iPad so I can still use my units outside. First world problem. I’d like to spend more time organizing my circles on G+ but then I think why are you always on the computer? Go outside. Brought out a draft copy of my book for friends last night. It’s called JEANS and it was published when I was 16. Did you know I’m an author? You are reading the book of my life right now.

 U2 played here at the Dome last night (Rogers Centre). We could hear it from the balcony, now that’s VIP. So VIP that we’re not even in the building. Had a few beers on the patio. Haven’t been drinking much lately and it feels really nice. I forgot to have dinner and remembered today. Woke up starving, Australian made breakfast.

I’d like to do a Twiggy inspired shoot soon. I’m thinking about growing my hair. I always say that but cut it off. The shave feels so nice. One video of me getting my head shaved has almost 15k+ views.

There’s another show tonight and I will get a better shot. This photo wants to be a painting I think. These ones always make me think of art. Coming up next is some photos from last night’s event and Ker & I in the cutest outfits ever.

Bye.

my debut as an animator

I’m not sure if I should call it “Damn You Internet” or “My name is not Casie not Cassie”. Watch & gimme your thoughts. I hope you haha.  I know it is probs funnier to me 🙂

Life is built on experiences.

Take them. Make them.
Live them. Love them.
Leave them in memory.

Leave them Online.

This blog is how I remember. Remind yourself today of something you’ve done that makes you smile. You’ll be glad you did.

music for your monday: “baby’s arms” by kurt vile

Wake-y wake-y eggs and bacon-y! Sleepy? Tired? Hurting?

If you’re need of a music video to ease you into the day. Here’s some “Baby’s Arms” by Kurt Vile for you to listen to as your coffee brews.

Kurt Vile is a Philadelphia boy who’s latest album Smoke Ring For My Halo is stirring up buzz. He plays Toronto at Lee’s Palace this Wednesday. He’ll also be playing Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend! And guess who’s going?! Me! I’m quite excited.

In other news, I’m now taking applications for adorable skater dude boyfriends.

Enjoy the tune and have a good week!
xo Kate

a very fine artist wouldn’t ya say there

I painted this. With digital paint. I feel it really speaks to my passion for technology and love of life. Full of emo(ticons).

I found it today going through old folders. It was a celebrity painting event with Amex and a media peeps. I won an ipad, named him Andy. We’ve been in love since.

I painted this too in 2009. It’s done using GE’s Imagination Cubed. Did you ever try it? I just tried to go to imaginationcubed.com and it doesn’t work anymore. It was this rad drawing board with stamps and letters. Ah well, back to ipad drawing it is!
