I Ate a Raw Yam in TJ Schiller’s House

TJ Schiller, member of the Voleurz, amazing skier, and all-round good guy who has never madeout with a Vernon girl, just won X-Games Slopestyle Gold. Video of his winning run after the jump.

Fun Mixtape

Mark Matthews sent over a mixtape he made. Lots of fun tracks and I’ve had it play through a few times. Listen to it after the jump.

iPod Bastard Pop

I made a mashup called Ishmael Goes to France and Germany, and then I used an iPod Touch to control Ableton Live to play it. Video and mp3 after the jump.

I Hate Things

More after the jump.

Bicycle Thieves

I watched the movie “Bicycle Thieves” (or “The Bicycle Thief”) last night, and thought it was awesome. It’s a 1948 movie about an Italian guy who gets his bike stolen and searches Rome for it; a ton of famous and important people say it’s the best film of all time, etc. etc., and I think [...]

Montreal Part 1

Stu Kennedy and I went to Montreal this summer. A few of my photos and some quick stories after the jump.

East Van Spot Rush

Nick Towill just emailed me this flier for a Fixie Vs. BMX spot to spot race on Saturday, August 9th. All proceeds go to some charity that is embarrassed of this flier. Check it out:
