Not able to be in Austin, Texas for SXSW this past week, it seems appropriate that I've managed to have a southern themed food weekend here in Toronto instead.  •  I just discovered El Trompo in Kensington market with some visiting friends yesterday. It's a delicious taqueria almost up to College …

As of today, I'm one step closer to being a full-time mac user. I just bought a pretty little twelve inch iBook that I figure I'll be using about a third of the time in parallel with my Thinkpad. It's really nice having two quiet little systems that can share my desk with room to spare for all of …

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on designing the interface for the upcoming NextMedia International Interactive Media Festival that's going to be in Banff at the beginning of June.

Yesterday a friend and I got a chance to see the new Christo and Jeanne-Claude exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It's a fantastic collection of photographs, film, and preparatory sketches of their wrapping and landscape alteration projects including famous projects they've done such as the …

I'm off for Paris this evening to spend Christmas with my girlfriend and my twin brother. I somehow highly doubt that Christmas in Montmarte can possibly disappoint. Merry Christmas everyone and safe travels to all of those on the road during the holidays.

This evening I dropped by a local news stand on Yonge Street and picked up today's New York Times to see the Firefox ad everyone's been anticipating. I've been doing some minor critiquing of the preliminary designs with Steven, but I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw it printed on newsprint at …
