Without explanation here are my top 3 favourite Superbowl ads from 2010:

Stephen Harper Meet Onion Ring

Poor Stephen Harper. He is the leader of our humble nation Canada, but it is with particular zeal that young Canadians seem to detest him. I’m not sure how much the average young Canadian person understands the issues that are bringing on his demise because I certainly don’t, but what does seem clear is that [...]

It’s rare that I am impressed by an alcohol advertising campaign. Most of them just don’t resonate with me, and often there are one or two originals in a bunch of half-ass copies.
For instance, I’ve seen many commercials from all categories lately trying to mimick the success of the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in [...]

Doppelgangers and the Meaning of Your First Name

February 4, 2010

This week on Facebook started as Doppelganger Week where you are supposed to change your profile picture to that of a celebrity that you closely resemble, or have been told that you closely remember. The oddly semi-narcissistic trend swept Facebook with people posting all kinds of interesting doppelganger choices.
Facebook being what it is though, by [...]

Living it Smalltown #1

This morning I had to go to the worst coffee shop in town to mooch the bestest fastest internet to send a file only to find that they no longer have this super speed internet connection.
The stale muffin and acrid americano were hardly worth a 50.0kbps upload speed.
Before I leave, Strange Irish Hobo Guy from [...]

Money can’t buy happiness.
This past Christmas the best gifts my family gave each other were more or less meaningless crap that had no purpose whatsoever.
Case in point, I buy my dad a fairly nice watch. He pretends to like it, but honestly I don’t think he really gives a shit. He will probably appreciate it [...]

This is possibly the greatest Lego picture I have ever seen. Check out more from LegoJeff. He is clearly deranged, but I love Lego, so whatever.

I grew up in North Vancouver and I can say that it has never really been a place for foodies, but lately the strip mall burger restaurants have been making way to some interesting cuisine. Burgoo seems to be leading the charge for the Lower Lonsdale set with their hearty stews and tagines, and now [...]

My friends Joe and Andrea want to meet me at Au Petit Chavignol for brunch/lunch.
“Where is it?”
“Somewhere down East Hastings. The address is 843.”
“Uhhh, okay.”
“Don’t worry, it’s supposed to be good”
I drive across town to 843 East Hastings and instantly recognize what is the yuppie/foodie haven Au Petit Chavignol. It’s bright yellow mod-design signage and [...]

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games are approaching fast, and within the last month or so since my last visit to Vancouver the amount of street art in the city has also grown quickly. The city has a good vibe right now and I’m excited to see Vancouver shine at its best. The art around town [...]
