Although you might guess that I’m talking about the internet, I was actually thinking about Guy Kawasaki’s recent post about golf, hockey and how imagination affects perception.
How big is the ‘net’ for your product or service? Entrepreneurship requires unscientific leaps of reasoning, Kawasaki suggests. So imagine the best possible outcome, the biggest market share, the [...]

It’s good. Found this in Thomas Hawk’s feed the other day. Great photography and interesting posts so worth a visit even if the music ain’t your thang. I like his $2/portrait idea too.

TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington chats with Evan Williams about the Twitter API, revenue models and the summize aquisition. If you are a Twitter fan it’s worth a listen (or a read, there’s both video and a transcript).

My pal Mark Kuznicki is riding in the 10th Annual Friends For Life Bike Rally July 27-August 1st. He’s biking from Toronto to Montreal (600km)! I am in awe of that number, 600km!
Because he is awesome and this is a great cause I think you should donate.
Yep, go on, do it. Right away, the event [...]

My colleague Ryan mentioned worldwidefred.com to me and *gasp* I’d never heard of it!
Imagine my pleasure in spying such gems as the Calf & Half creamer jug and the FingerFood ring. *chuckle*
This stuff is ridiculous in a way that makes me want to run out and do some shopping.
But lest you think Fred is all [...]

Well, Matt doesn’t bite, Matt rocks!
Check out these humorous snaps from his recent trip to the Long Beach Outdoor Antique & Collectible Market. I greatly enjoyed “foreclosure” and, of course “Jesus on a pelt”.
Such good times!
Foreclosure

The folks over at digital Photography School have a great list. Not that these are crazy, new ideas – but getting a reminder now and then never hurt and they are well laid out, with examples too.
Make your shots better by keeping these 10 pointers in mind. If those aren’t enough, there’s a follow up [...]
Your daily TED

I love TED, don’t you? Which one is your favourite?
So far both Jill Bolte Taylor’s story and Ken Robinson’s presentation have been particularly interesting to me.
Today I watched Lawrence Lessig’s talk on creativity and copyright. If it’s interesting to you I’d recommend also listening to Jim Goldstein’s podcast, his interview with Lessig is [...]

I don’t believe in God. Take it or leave it, that’s my view. I do, however, think this is a very interesting video.
In the words of Ricky Ricardo: Lucy, you got some ’splainin’ to do.

Also for your listening pleasure, Thou Shalt Always Kill. I like these guys (though I [...]
Annoyed with gas prices in Toronto? We’ve got it good.

So gas is expensive in the city. Well, yeah, but it could be worse. Check out Gas Buddy’s “temperature” gauge of prices across Canada. They also have one for the US. All things considered, we’re lucky here in the GTA.
Gas Buddy also has a whack of other information, from lowest to highest prices in your [...]
Fox News, Photoshop and Vanity Fair

My goodness, the shenanigans going on with the news media these days! Did you hear about Fox & Friends and their doctored photos of New York Times reporters? Mon Dieu! This kind of behaviour is appropriate in high school (just barely), not at national news organizations.
To sum up: Some guys at the NYT (Jacques Steinberg [...]

Confession: I never go anywhere. Well, I do leave Toronto now and then, but as far as vacations? Never. Happens. Enter a former business colleague who has decided to get married in Mexico! Huzzah! It’s a good excuse to finally put aside the ‘too busy’ and ‘too costly’ excuses and just GO.
The wedding is in [...]

“I come from the period where people get properly tanned.”
Best. Line.
Check out the secret diary of Mario Testino, globe-trotting photographer. He’s famous. And well tanned. And speaks of how he “likes Prince Charles as much as the street cleaner” which sounds like a dig but is really a compliment to all British [...]

Our CEO mentioned the Press Photo Awards to me and I was absolutely entranced watching the photographers discuss their award-winning images.
Stunning photos, amazing stories. I can’t wait to hear them all.
