Just a little drive through back country Quebec.
ckck:
I think this is a good reminder for everyone today.
Matt, the photographer that took this photo was staying at the same hotel as me in Haiti. It was an exciting moment when he arrived at the Hotel the evening he capture this shot.
To see it now, all over the internet summarizes for me, how surreal this entire experience has been. My time spent in Haiti will be forever etched into my memory and consciousness. The people of Haiti will be forever on my heart.
If you haven’t donated to Haiti relief yet, consider taking the time and resources to do so. I saw first hand the good work The Salvation Army was being able to accomplish. To donate:
In Canada - Text HAITI to 45678 ($5)
In U.S.A. - Text HAITI to 52000 ($10)
I hope to get around to sharing the images and video I captured in Haiti sometime this week.
At the airport in Toronto on route to Haiti. Brb.
It's Tumblr Tuesday!
This ever happen to you? I dreamt in Tumblr last night.
I walked around the city, covered in little hearts and reblog buttons. I showed my appreciation for a beautiful sunset by reaching out and poking its like button. I saw some delicious tacos, hit reblog, and had some of my very own. This was a world I could live in.
Fast-forward to this morning: I was tired, disheveled, and there was a really pretty girl on the subway. To show my appreciation, I went to push her like button. Didn’t work. Hit it again. Nothing. I tried and tried, but nothing was working right.
Long story short, now I’m in jail. I used my phone call to select today’s five picks:
Gödel, Escher, Bach, Tumblr
GEBT is a book group dedicated to reading one chapter a week of Douglas Hofstadter’s 1979 masterpiece book about artificial intelligence, mathematics, consciousness, puzzles, music, and language. I know what three of those are!Growing up Heroes
I thought this was going to be something like a teenage Clark Kent blogging about how horrible puberty is, but Growing up Heroes is in fact much cuter and much less annoying than that.The Butter Room
The Butter Room is built to spread a passion for live music. This ten-person group posts a ton of great content, including reviews, daily features, interviews with musicians, photos from the road, and of course, some music.The Tickr
The Tickr covers the culture of professional sports fandom. Less about the scores than the athletes themselves, this Tumblr blog focuses on the sights and sounds that make it fun to be a sports fan. Don’t miss their guide to throwing a Super Bowl party.Fuck Yeah Dioramas!
While it’s true that the whole “Fuck Yeah” thing might be getting old, I can’t just sit by and let something as awesome as a bunch of dioramas all gathered together go unnoticed. It’s time to take a stand! Say it with me: Fuck Yeah Dioramas!Who do you nominate for the next episode of Tumblr Tuesday?
Tumblr writes up The Tickr. Amazing.
Terry Richardson has a Tumblr. You may think you don’t know Terry, but you do. Check it.
Interesting…to say the least.
I have no qualms about it…I actually like her. I think she’s good for pop music. She writes her on songs, plays piano and is an advocate for design, art and now film cameras.
“When a man is newly wed, he need not go out on a military expedition, nor shall any public duty be imposed on him. He shall be exempt for one year for the sake of his family, to bring joy to the wife he has married.” - Deuteronomy 24:5
I’m thinking I’ll spend the ‘year’ of bringing joy to my future wife in Zakynthos, Greece. (Pictured above by Marian Serban)
Can’t argue with the Bible, right?
