A perfect summer week, maybe the last?.
Weather this perfect (in my dashboard) makes me feel like I just won a game and unlocked the summer bonus.
Or my mac decided it needed to make me happy.

Pride weekend / MJ tribute
Pride weekend has started, as you can see in the second picture attached, however due to the obvious circumstances given Michael Jackson's untimely death it wouldn't have been right not to pay some respects. Attached is a picture of a flashmob moonwalking in the middle of one of Toronto's major intersections (Yonge/Dundas).
Incredible music video

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of this video. With over 3000 pictures taken to make it work, it really is a damn well executed concept.
Firefox Personas
I don't usually try out Firefox themes. For ever i have used takebacktheweb.org's mac theme, but for some reason i decided to try out Personas. Perhaps because they aren't themes as much as they are skins... this extension really customizes Firefox's chrome, mostly by adding a background image to it, but im pretty happy with what it does, it goes well with my menubar.
the "persona" you're looking at now is called Firefox Pipes.
Also, the website I have open is one of my latest designs.
Slush and ice make for impossible walks
This morning I had a hard time walking to brunch thanks to the layers of ice and slush all over Toronto. What a pain it is to do that when you're not wearing winter boots.
Wall decals
Lisa and I have been on the look out for great wall decals to decorate our new loft in Toronto. We feel that they add so much to a space it's worth the time they take to put together. The best we have found so far are the designer vinyls at the magic pony:
We are looking for something more interesting though, rather than just playful cute desings.
We experienced issues with the last set we got (which weren't from the magic pony), they would not really stick to the walls and actually started falling off the day we put them up.
Snow!
There have been a couple of storms in the past few days which have left the city of Toronto covered in snow.
It's everywhere and it brings all kinds of trouble, but it does make for a very pretty sight (without slush):

Don't do this at home kids. It may result in your laptop dying. That glass of wine sitting on the edge of the case and the laptop is on top of a few books. All because i wanted to document my odd placement of wine glasses while working on my computer
A confession
Music is good but it can be annoying. You can't play the same song over and over; it gets to the point when it's actually painful to play it anymore, it's like if the song punched you in the face for listening too many times to it, it sucks.
Not so with MGMT's "Kids", thanks to the many remixes of it. I just found the Pet Shop Boys's mixes and I couldn't help but fall in love with "Kids" all over again.
Some fucking song.
My Morning Coffee
Watching Sigur Rós live drinking my first cup of joe I realized that life is about the good moments, and the smart cars.
