Broken Social Scene - Sound Academy

I saw BSS last night at Sound Academy. Let me start by saying...I DISLIKE Sound Academy. As a venue I just think it sucks...I could insert a few reason but really...why bother?

Broken Social Scene was awesome as usual, but not a spectacular show by them...like the show a couple years ago on Olympic Island.

Oh well....still heart them.

Learning

I am gonna try and use this space to promote new learnings for myself...good idea huh!?

So I know about this site, have visited this site more frequently recently...time to learn how to use it effectively...I think there is alot you can do with it!

http://hypem.com

It's called the Hype Machine. It's a music site...good. It has all kinds of cutting edge tracks and artists...good. Now...I just need to figure out how it works. Shouldn't take long, and then I'll report back on my findings...fingers crossed this tool is wicked, AND I can somehow implement it into my BLOG.

Ryan Adams

My favourite rock artist of all time. It used to be Counting Crows, and in retrospect they will always be my 'favourite' band...but nowadays I can listen to Ryan Adams over and over and over...obviously if you know me there are a million other bands I'm listening too...but Ryan sticks out!

Previously Ryan was going down a rough road in his life...alcohol, drugs...this video is what he started to look like....very gruff and secretive.

And a few years later...all cleaned up and promoting their new album 'Cardinology'.

Here he is in 2008:

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Fix it

Ryan Adams has many different albums, under many different names...Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. I challenge you to go out and listen/buy some of his albums. It will change your life...well ok...at least your listening patterns.

I get to go see him and the Cardinals open for Oasis in London Ontario soon Dec 15, 2008 to be exact...so stoked!

One Million Acts of Green

Ok, so I was in charge of strategically managing the site build of http://www.onemillionactsofgreen.com

This website is a challenge to Canadians to commit to 1 million acts of green. ie. use more energy efficient lightbulbs rather than the old school bulbs, or turn the water off when you brush your teeth. It was a partnership between Cisco, CBC, Deloitte, and Ogilvy. My company Empirical designed it and built all of the code and such.

It was a pretty challenging project, but I really like the way it turned out. We are about a month and a half into the program and already at 30%. Check it out and let me know what you think, all comments welcome...

It's green, it's mean! Go do your part!!!!

Change...

It's like a billion years later...I am gonna try and put my thoughts here again. C'mon MOTIVATION!
