Say Hello to Nismo :)

Nismo the Dog

I am a massive gearhead. Cars are my life. But, for the longest time, I have been missing something in my household. Today, that void has been filled.

Vehicle Spotting to Wave Ratio

This week I am driving a Kia Soul. So, I decided to tally how many times other Soul drivers wave to each other. Here is how the numbers add up so far...

nissan land glider concept ... whatcha think?

Nissan released some teaser images of the new Land Glider Concept that is going to be shown at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.

Pretty different.

#eastcoastcube camping trip from the easterner perspective

During the Labour Day long weekend, Rannie and Jasin came down east for a little trip. Rannie, tagging it the #eastcoastcube camping trip on Twitter, provided a constant flow of information online (when he had cell phone service) and all three of us shot a ton of photos and some video (which i am still working on).

Below are a few of my favourite shots from the trip. You can see all of them in the gallery.

So, Bill didn't come. But, here comes his brother Danny!

I have always been interested in the weather. The more extreme it is, the more I am glued to it. Though I don't think I will go tornado chasing anytime soon, a hurricane is pretty easy to drive into.

Hurricane Bill came and went. All bark and no bite. That doesn't mean we are out of the woods on the east coast just yet though.

Here comes Danny!

Hurricane Bill won't deter my cube

Bill, Bill, go away! Come back another day during the week so I can have a day off from work!I absolutely love living in Atlantic Canada. Hurricanes are part of life here, just like deep winter snows and lobster fresh from the wharf.

This weekend it looks like there is a chance we will be getting hit by Hurricane Bill. There is something addicting about being inside the eye of a storm. So, if I have a chance, the Cube will be right in the middle of it with a camera on record.

Here's to hoping :)

The cube has landed in PEI

Getting to sleep is not the easiest after a large triple-triple from Tim Hortons and a brand new car waiting for you the following morning.

I've been working some pretty late nights because of external events conflicting with my work during the day. Last night, after filling myself with coffee and donuts and coding for a few hours, I got home at around midnight. It was nice to finally fall into my bed and sleep...or at least try to.

The last time I had checked the clock it said 1:30am.

La-la land wasn't all that memorable. What was memorable was how I woke up at 6:30am in the morning. I had left my bedroom window closest to my bed open during the night. As luck would have it, a lot of rain came down during the night, and it seemed like half a fjord had been dumped on my face.
