How to Make the Worst Website →
How to Make the Worst Website: My personal favourite – Play background music automatically. Everyone in the world likes the exact same music as you, so feel free to play some automatically. Don’t allow me to pause it or anything, though.

Muxtape Update - Time Mix →
I updated my Muxtape last night. Three guesses what the theme is…too late you’re out of TIME. Get it, get it? Whoa that was lame, but then again so is the first song on my new mix. I got 4 Minutes to save the world and I just used them all up on this post. Enjoy.

Tom Thomson's Pine Trees at Sunset →
The Tom Thomson oil sketch Pine Trees at Sunset sold for $2 million today at the Sotheby’s Canada spring auction in Toronto.
Thomson has always been my favourite Group of Seven member*, mostly because of his roots in graphic design.

Cliff Spencer’s handcrafted furniture and custom cabinetry is just what the loft ordered. Not my loft of course, because I don’t have one…yet. His Sliding Barn Door and Wall is all kinds of wonderful.

The Church of Kanye
Being third row, center stage at Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark show was an out of body, religious experience. My ears were blessed with musical brilliance . My eyes witnessed a visual cornucopia, indescribable of words. I was taken to a multi sensual planet of entertainment. Kanye’s creativity, passion and imagination allowed me for a moment to “touch the sky” and for that I give thanks.

Lone Star Salsa →
To all my Canadian friends who love themselves some Lone Star. Josh did us all a solid and posted the recipe for their salsa. The directions are kind of involved, eg. “cut an X into the top or bottom of the tomato and place in boiling water for a few minutes remove, let cool slightly and remove skin.” but I suppose it’s worth it.

WatchA little video that the ROOV fellas put together to educate people on what ROOV is all about. The people in the video aren’t actors, they’re real people with real stories.
We’re doing a major U.S.A area launch this week. After that, hopefully ROOV will be knocking on the doors of Canadians, eh!

So I Might Try Comments Again
Just to see what kind of response I get. It would be nice to meet and greet the community of visitors that frequent my internet real estate. I was able to sell my camera last week, an indication that people are actually reading content, which warms my heart. So yeah you may see comments in the near future. If you do, they’ll be nestled under the date and + permalinks on the right hand side...
