Quickest update ever: Heading to Sysomos event for Social Media Week. Last night at #whatthehashtag I met this amazing girl who lives at the event space. Robot party is gonna be there. Must hurry, cause I don’ wanna be late for this. Have a contest with new phones to post this afternoon. Hope you are having an awesome day. ILU!!

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

two turntables and a microphone

Brock McLaughlin just posted this AWESOME pic. Love it.

It’s like meggggggga brrrr outside today. Took this with my new Motorola phone,  it takes pretty fancy photos (5 megapix).

In other news, check out THIS Hip & Urban Girl of the Week, MOI!

won a pink buddha for good debating. #swmt

Say hi to the babes, Keri, Brown Barbie, O’Nizz.

Oh you know who ate a few of these. (Clue: starts with CASE, ends in EEEEE)

Is social media more art or science? I debated ART.

To me, social media IS an art. Sure you can get ‘formula’ for peak times to tweet or try to follow a ‘method’ but that doesn’t mean shit if you’re not creative. If you’re not artistic with your message (whatever or wherever it you’re selling it), people ain’t gonna buy it. You will be more successful in this new industry if you take risks and be artistic. Everything I have done/do to build my brand is driven by creativity.

Debate winner: Rob Campbell aka @smojoe!

We didn’t win the mass debate but we DO have cool blogs.

I’m talking about #roboTO at this very moment. Look at that passion. It’s a party coming up that I started so we can all make robot costumes and have fun. Stay tuned. That’s how I won the final round of the debate.

There was a creepy dude at the end that hijacked the whole conversation and mentioned 3D p0rn. So weird. Mugshot here.

Sabrina looked at me from across the room and said “I want the pink buddha”. Then I won it for her. She derves it. He’s at our house laughing right now.

This is so very cute, girl had a nice outfit. Proud of you Moffitt, brother.

Look at everyone smiling in this photo. That’s good stuff right there.

Then we went home and had a girl party.

In other news, THIS pretty much makes MY LIFE. Click to open this in a new window and prepare to be amazed.

i’m in the wall street journal.

Read it here. This is a summary of what it’s about:

social media week has started and i am social me.

Heard some people from Roots Canada talk about social media this morning. It was a great talk for retailers or brands who are just getting into social media.

Keri & I didn’t stay too long. I get antsy and have a hard time listening to a topic when I have so much to say about it. Tonight it’s a different story, I get to have a say.

I’m in a debate on brands & social media at the Mill Street Brewery. The event is hosted by Wikibrands a book written by my friend Sean Moffit and Mike Dover about “Reinventing Your Company in a Customer-Driven Marketplace”. They like Wordles just like me.

Who knew social media would take over in all kinds of industries around the world? It’s amazing.  I talking about love brands, social media & the people behind them. This is the second year of Social Media Week & you can see the schedule for Toronto here. This week for me is full of events & people talking about something I love, heaps of familiar faces and lots of new people.

Keri & I cruised the downtown underground this afternoon and rode the streetcar. I got a My Little Pony in my Happy Meal at McDonalds too. I’ve been eating way less maccas BTW 🙂

Did you know Toronto’s streetcar system is one of the few in North America still operating along street-running tracks and has been operating since the mid-19th century. We are a cool city.

AND, did you know that VW commercial I posted yesterday from the Super Bowl. Guess who the little kid is? Victoria & JT’s son Reed from the Young & the Restless.  You know how much I love that show. What a cute kid. Here’s a snip-it:

Ok, clock is ticking, time for me to get ready for the Wikibrands event. What does a doll wear to a mass debate? ( hehe, I am 12)

If you see me say HI. If you don’t see me there, hope you have a good night.

I Touched The Sky.

I looked at all the things on lifeexperiences.ca and really wanted to do something I’d never done before…so I did!

I went on a helicopter tour of downtown Toronto!

I was nervous for a few minutes but I can’t even imagine chickening out, I live for that nervous excited feeling. Here we go…

So pretty our city, even with a blanket of snow. I reckon doing this in the summer would be just delightful. All the trees, the lake and water looking so nice.

I can see my house! Was so neat to fly over downtown, take it all in from a different perspective.  We got pretty close to the CN Tower too. I was told they often get people planning proposals, especially this time of year.

Lifeexperiences.ca has so heaps of adventures to pick from ex. drive a race car, visit a castle,  massages, spa packages, golf, wine tasting and beer school. You can even book a segway and be like Justin Bieber. (Please tell me if you do that! haha)

I think this kinda thing makes a great gift. All the stuff ranges from under $50 to ultimate experiences like attending Cannes Film Fest worth over $10,000. I gave away a $50 voucher in December. I’m sure you’ve seen the gift cards at Shoppers or Walmart,  and perhaps will pick one up when shopping for your valentine.  😉 *cough, cough*

Hey look up, that’s where I was flying!

Today marks the first day of Social Media Week around the world. I’m up and off to the Ted Rogers School of Management for The Evolving Role of Social Media in Retail.

Have an awesome day!

a long, long time ago i can still remember how that music used to make me smile

Watched the Banksy movie last night, Exit Through The Gift Shop. What an awesome documentary that was. The ‘hoax’ controversy that surrounds it makes it that much more interesting to investigate online. I love that stuff.

One day you will watch my documentary and wonder if it’s true. I will brainwash you.

Thinking about making a stencil and talking my own art to the streets. You will know if you see it when you do. You know me.

These photos are all from tumblr people I follow, they are from the internet, that’s their source. I don’t own them, know them. Reblogged and passed on through bloggers around the world.

They all reminded me of summer, some place warm with someone special. Daydreaming.

You will never be younger than you are right now. Now. Now. Now, now now now…

I want one of these for my birthday please. Perhaps a tattoo so I can make it real?

update: how many commercials during the #superbowl will have #socialmedia on screen?

Here are some of the commercial gettin’ hype for today’s game on Mashable. I’m off to fly around the city in a helicopter before planting myself on a couch/at a bar to watch the commercials & halftime show for today’s game.

Rumor has it Go Daddy (my host!) is bringing some sexy. Doritos always have something creative. I reckon Coors Lite or Bud Lite will have something funny. This was JUST released a couple hours ago.

Ha! Hate when this happens…. guess we’ll find out WHAT happened.

This one surely will NOT make it to Canada. Hate that we get stuffed on the good ads. Where can Canada peeps watch the US version of the big ‘Bowl?

How many commercials during the super bowl will have social media accounts on screen?

As a percentage. Includes logo (twitter/facebook), audio or links. Take your bets. Winner wins something awesome. 😛
