New kicks – adidas hemp
January 21st, 2010I think this may be my first pair of Adidas, except maybe a pair of Stan Smiths when I was young – they were standard military issue in the 80s, ahead of their time. @allisterlee got me this hookup – thanks bro. Brought these into the office to wear around while I’m wearing boots outdoors.
Serious hailstorm rolls in. Longest one I’ve ever seen. This may actually count as snow.
November 5th, 2009I guess winter is getting an early start this year. Why not, we didn’t have a summer, might as well get on with it.

MAMP: Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP
November 5th, 2009The abbreviation “MAMP” stands for: Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP. With just a few mouse-clicks, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL for Mac OS X! MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Mac OS X computer, be it PowerBook or iMac. Like similar packages from the Windows- and Linux-world, MAMP comes free of charge. MAMP is installed in the typical Mac fashion: very easily. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running with your OS X. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if MAMP is no longer needed, it is sufficient to delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original status (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the “normal” OS X).

I just came across MAMP – I’ve seen LAMP before, but MAMP will be perfect for doing quick offline editing of blogs and other web apps. Check it out if you want to save yourself some time with setup and configs

Tip: iCal not matching Exchange calendar
September 14th, 2009
I checked my iPhone over the weekend and noticed an appointment I know I had put in my calendar for this week wasn’t in my schedule after I entered it from my computer. First thing this morning, I checked it. Sure enough, the calendar view in iCal was vastly different than what was appearing in my Outlook view of my schedule. I thought it might have been related to multiple calendar settings in iCal, but it wasn’t that.
In the iCal menu, I came across Calendar > Go Online. I didn’t know what it did, but I selected it. Immediately, the iCal view started updating with meetings and the Outlook and iCal views were the same again. Problem solved.
The problem dates back to what I had unknowingly done a few weeks ago. It turns out I had a recurring appointment at the start of each month that I had previously hit snooze on and iCal was unable to save the changes back to the server so it gave me the options “Try Again, Use Server’s Version, Go Offline”. Try Again never worked. Use Server’s Version never worked either no matter how much I clicked it. So I hit Go Offline. I didn’t know it would take the entire iCal calendar offline.
Be aware of the buttons you click. Hopefully this tip will help others who have seen their calendars get out of sync.
I just got my free photo business arts from Moo.com. Check them out.
September 2nd, 2009Moo.com has been around for a while, I’m late to the game but I saw one of their free cards deals lately and had to try it out. For $7 shipping, I got to put 50 of my images on cards and the reverse side has all my info. Very cool, very (almost) free. The free cards also have a little bit of advertising along the edge and a coupon code for a discount in case your friends like them and want to order their own.
Rather than just a card, you get one of my favorite photos. The card quality is very good – thick and heavy. I’d definitely order another set for paying.
Next time you see me, be sure to ask for one.

Toronto Tornado Footage
August 21st, 2009via youtube.com
Here’s a clip of one of the Tornados that touched down just north of Toronto in an area called Vaughn. Where’s Vaughn you asked? If you’ve ever been to Canada’s Wonderland, that’s where Vaughn is. Further south towards the lake where I live, we didn’t get the tornado, just very high winds, hard rain and an amazing lightning storm.
