Dave White and I were rolling through the streets last night after CinqASept and I decided to try a new camera mount I rigged up to get some night shots. Shot through the windshield, camera is taking frames every 5 seconds (raw + jpeg). No optimization of the camera setup at all: we were just going to get a $1 Diet Coke at McDonald’s. I liked the serendipity of the output.
Rockin’ good time last night at Ignite Waterloo #6 down at Whistle Bear Golf Club!
With frequent updates on Game #7 and the LRT vote, plus picture-perfect weather, cold beer, great art, and lots of friends, we had a great evening. Click through for lots o’ pics.
Special thanks to Erin Moffat and Chris Klein who saved my bacon with xtreme-last-minute tickets! I could have sworn I bought tickets, and then at 4:30pm there was much more swearing.
there’s still time. Crushed plastic bottle gives a good growl…
and a yogurt container flap makes a good 2-stroke engine flapping sound. We used to use clothes pins, but now in the age of fat seat stays and forks, we use zip ties.
Happy making,

Kick-ass painter, James Nye, is in the middle of an open house this weekend. Second half is today, Sunday, 1-5pm, 8 Water Street, Kitchener. Check it out, buy some art.
Whenever you get a chance to visit an artist in their studio, you’re getting a privileged glimpse into their creative crockpot. If you pay attention, interesting details abound…
Dave White and I headed down to THEMUSEUM tonight…
(Hi Melissa Stephens! Partnerships & Events Coordinator at THEMUSEUM)
A most unexpected and cool opportunity, while at Toronto Maker Faire: urban exploration of the Evergreen Brick Works! This was the most amazing combo of beautiful semi-decay and interesting weather-sheltered street art.
It’s been a (very busy) week since the inaugural and totally freakin’ amazing Toronto Maker Faire and I’m still pumped up from the experience. Here’s a 147-pic photo-essay of the experience of the show. Going to follow it up with a later post of the totally unexpected and killer urban exploration opportunity afforded by the Brick Works.
If anyone got video of Project Loud Monkey please contact me. Due to a combination of sleep-deprivation and maker euphoria I completely missed the video boat.
Had to ditch the Friday reception for makers and volunteers as I had just got back from 4 nights in Miami on a business trip. But early Saturday morning, my brutha Dave White and I loaded up Project Loud Monkey into the cars and headed out…
Had a great meeting of the photography minds up at Cathy Farwell’s studio last Sunday morning. It was a gathering of the photographers that Cathy had invited to the authorized urban exploration photo shoot back in March of the now-empty RMS factory.
Ramy, Roger, Mark, Larry, Jacqui, Sean, Fatima, Denise, Nicholas, Susan, and a few others came out…
