welcome to the [cineskates] revolution

Anybody can make a film. No seriously, anybody.

trip the lightning fantastic

Last night there was a helluva light show over Toronto. Definitely the best/worst of 2011 - plenty of assaults on the CN Tower, presumably by the Norse God himself, as strike after strike strobe-lit the skyline.

Cinematographer, Jon Simonassi captured intense video of the whole thing for the amusement of the whole intrawebs. Greased lightning!

bye jack

A tribute to the NDP's charismatic former Leader, Jack Layton in photos found around the web. Jack died today after a long struggle battling cancer. He embodied the 'true north, strong and free' with the best smile and a fierce passion for politics, and social equity and justice unmatched by anyone in government here or abroad. RIP Jack. Today Canada is in mourning.

Snow in New Zealand

On the 15th heavy snows blanketed Wellington, NZ. And while it's technically their winter and our summer, rain is typical - snowstorms just aren't. Documentarians were out en masse to capture the rarity. I like the reactions in this particular vid by Ro Tierney.
