My current happy song
This song fills me with joy. It sounds like a Sega Dreamcast game.
iPhone Applications are the new Extreme Sports
A lot of suits are trying to make a quick buck. Potentially flooding the iPhone market with crapware.
I’m not into it. Neither is this guy.

Tony Chestnut Fall 2008
My favourites from the Fall Selection:
Tony Chestnut is a women’s fashion label designed and manufactured by my friend Jill Sawatzky. Modeled by Lauren Swan. Photographed by Tristan Fast. See more photos at www.tonychestnut.ca (which I set up for her so I guess I’m kind of cool too.)
I want to get Jill to make something for me but I don’t know what. Maybe some sort of sweater? I’ve always wanted one of those really long white shirts that I imagine guys wear in India, or maybe it’s Morocco. Santino Rice had one on Project Runway.
While we’re talking about fashion, I simply cannot go to Value Village on Sargent without buying a pair of shoes. They always have great dress shoes for like $6. (Okay… I bought a pair of cowboy boots for $40 and have not found a time to wear them yet, but it’s a great place.) Yesterday I got a pair of shoes that apparently my friend Jared had tried on, which fit me and not him. Ha. Victory.
Although I really do barely fit in them. Also they had a pair of Wooden Clogs. Weird.

Oh materialism
I’m kind of interested in this sweater. But maybe not $19,000 interested….
Missoni
Ever wonder what a $19,000 sweater looks like? With this ludicrously luxe, Persian-lambswool-lined piece, Missoni answers a question no one thought to ask. Worth the price? That’s not for us to say, but budget shoppers take heart: Wait a season or two, and many of the design flourishes found here are bound to make their way into the $3,000-cardigan market.
Missoni cashmere sweater with Persian-lambswool lining, $19,035, available at missoni.com

New M83 Video, Kim and Jesse
I love M83. I really like the newest album. I really like this particular song. (I think Phil Collins would approve of the drum work in this one.) This video however…. I’m not crazy about.
I guess it’s a sort of funny. I think maybe it’s a little silly for this particular song. This is a pretty epic song. (Although most M83 songs are fairly epic.)
I still prefer the Graveyard Girl video. The girl in it is so cute.
$50 a pylon
So we were biking down Osbourne st. on our way to the Glass Candy concert when the incident took place. As you may know there is a lot of construction going on on Osbourne these days so there are pylons everywhere. It was Friday night, we were having fun, so one of my friends starting knocking over a few pylons as we were biking along. Just for a laugh.
Just as we got to the bridge I heard a “whoop whoop” and looked back to see some flashing lights coming our way. The Police pulled us over and called my friend over to the car. They talked to my friend for like 10 minutes and then he came and told us that he had to go pick up the pylons.
One of the Officers got out and tried to put my buddy’s bike in the trunk and it obviously wasn’t going to fit. He tried closing the lid on it, kind of banging on the frame and we all gasped. (It is a beautiful bike after all.) We said that we’d watch the bike and pleaded that he be careful.
So we waited on the bridge while my friend climbed in the cop car and they took him back up the street. After 10-15 minutes they came back and continued to berate my friend. They accused us of “thinking this was funny”. Ultimately giving my friend a $190 ticket despite his cooperation. They told him he could probably get away without paying the fine if he went to court. Why give someone a ticket and tell them they can get out of it? Why not just not give them a ticket? Who knows.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate cops. Most of my experience with them has been good-to-kind-of-annoying but never too bad.
What I thought was funny was that I was trying to knock over pylons too. But my friend was ahead of me and knocked them over before I could. Kind of like in Kindergarten, some of them guys jumped on the lunch table and pulled their pants down. Just as I was climbing up onto the table the teacher came in. So I didn’t get in trouble.
It’s like Photoshop for Video. Crazy.
Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene from pro on Vimeo.
Sometimes in Movies or Tv they use computers to do impossible things. Get a floor plan of a building from a photo, a man’s shoe size from a phonecall. I usually get pretty annoyed by that sort of thing. Computers can’t do just anything. This video proves me wrong.
