I was so stoked when my friends at Netflix Canada emailed to tell me about the House of Cards, Cards Against Humanity expansion pack AND they were sending me one. To make it even sweeter, they offered to give one to YOUUUUUUU. Enter below! Contest closes Monday, get all y’all entries in!
I’m in love with this show and Claire Underwood. I’ve not finished Season 2 yet, I want to but I don’t y’know?

Last week I was invited to the Soho House as a guest of Grey Goose for an exclusive dinner for 10. It was an occasion called ‘Taste by Appointment’ where we learned all about taste, flavours, and of course, drank Grey Goose. I ran into my old friend Mr. Brainwash AGAIN too. (When I say old friend it’s because I met him there the week before!)
I’ve been a fan of GG for ages and last year at Community Agency got to work w/ Grey Goose where I learned all about their latest FLY BEYOND campaign. The food at Soho is excellent and totally chowed down on the steak pictured below. Thanks to Ryan Emberley from C Daily for the photos, see the whole set here.
Something interesting happened yesterday and it turned out to be something pretty awesome! It all involves The Internet, social networks, content, blogging, and a little bit of luck I reckon. It starts with this photo…
Remember my post about the ‘Other’ folder in Facebook? Well one of the 99+ messages in there was from a video agency in Venice Beach, California (one of my fav places in the WORLD!) and they messaged me a few months ago to use one of my photos in a video. I did not see the message because it was in the ‘Other’ folder, basically the spam department of Facebook. In the message, they offered to pay me for the use of my photo. I took a chance an emailed her back to see if 1) they used my photo and 2) if the offer still stands.
Turns out it did! Little did I know, the video was for HuffPost Live about the way the web has changed journalism and HuffPost’s use of Google+. Well la di da! I chatted with Tim McDonald from HuffPost Live a few months before I got the email about this video and I don’t think either one is connected. Crazay!
The photo used in the vid was a selfie I took at SXSW 2012 in Austin, Texas inside the WordPress booth at the convention centre. If you look closely, you’ll see WordPress in the background, the video doesn’t show the logo for obvious reasons. Oh man I miss that acid wash denim jacket, it’s long gone now.
I’m in the first ten seconds, wait for it! Find me on Google+ here btw.
Here’s to the magic of the internet, content that stays online forever, and the power of connecting. You never know what’s gonna happen but if you put out good vibes with a great attitude, you just might get a nice surprise now and again.
Hope something awesome happens to you today!

You probably didn’t notice it. You probably never opened that can of worms. And now, now that you know it’s there you won’t be able to hold yourself back from opening that box and seeing what’s inside… Facebook’s ‘Other’ Folder!
One of the messages I WISH I had checked was for someone that wanted to use one of my images in a video as a stock photo. They even offered to pay me and it seemed totally legit. Not sure why she didn’t email me but ah well. Stay tuned for an update on that. No offence to any of these people, thanks for the messages and laughs in some cases. This is a small selection of the 99+ that were in my ‘Other’ folder.
Thanks Nelson.
Guys, I updated my tumblr. Omg. It’s been years. Started from the bottom now we here … at this new design. Do you have a tumblr too? Leave it in the comments so I CAN FOLLOW YOU home.
It just started raining and I didn’t bring an umbrella. I was meant to go to an event tonight but when I look outside and see the sky falling, all I wanna do it be on the couch with my computer (and BF lol). Some rain songs for you! Enjoy!
