So the other night I was watching Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Special and locked on to one recipe in particular. The recipe was for a turkey and leek pie. It looked pretty easy and thought it would be a nice change from the usual turkey soup that I typically make after either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Ingredients: [...]

The other year I made my first batch of wine and never looked back. I had walked by the wine kit store on my way to the liquor more times than I probably care to admit. Then one day I decided to make my own. Now I’ll admit I was a bit nervous due to [...]

Friday started of pretty crap to be honest. I got attacked by a spelling Nazi and was made to feel like shit for accidentally letting three typos get through on my professional side of life. I should not have let it but for some reason I did. I should know by now not to let [...]

It really does not get much better than this. We are packed, the arrangement with my brother to water the [...]

Catchy headline and exactly what I did. I left my job at an up and coming web agency in Vancouver where I was in negotiations for partnership, ya that’s right. So let’s back up here for a moment and get some context.  I had been working a large telco [TELUS] as an creative director for [...]

Noah gets a Wee Wii from JP Holecka on Vimeo. This was my son’s reaction to receiving the Nintendo Wii for his birthday last year. Not much more I can add to this!
