When I hear photographers talking about all their fancy lenses, this is what I think:

Mediocre playing of unmemorable music.

Same goes for people who buy fancy audio equipment only to listen to U2. *Cheapshot!*

When I hear photographers talking about all their bagfuls of fancy lenses, this is what I think:

All those cymbals are being use only for mediocre playing of unmemorable music.

Same goes for people who buy fancy audio equipment only to listen to U2. *Cheapshot!*

Popped into #hacklabTO today with @shazow and @limedaring this evening. As wonderfully nerdy as ever.

And one more of the Annex on Torontoist.

Torontontians thought it was lame to live in apartment buildings—until Uno Prii came along in the 60s. I took some photos of his prettier buildings.

On Sunday, I went on a walking tour of the apartment buildings that architect Uno Prii's designed in the Annex. The Annex house-owners originally fought to block the construction. Now they are some of the neighbourhood's most-treasured landmarks.

If you want more info, the tour guide, Catherine Drillis, curated an exhibition on Uno Prii and the corresponding web site has a whole bunch of sketches and background information. And more architectural tours are in the works.

You know that pigeon that walked on to the subway? [http://bit.ly/aUf87c] @seanward drew the hipster version:

Torontoist posted a video of a pigeon taking a ride on a subway today. Tonight, Sean Ward drew a hipster version, complete with a napping TTC collector.

"Don't take no pictures." Some religious guys yelling at me in the middle of their preaching at Yonge-Dundas Square

(Well, on the north side of Dundas.)

(download)

Not sure which group they were with but they were preaching fire and brimstone—mostly by just quoting the Bible. But they had a list of the
12 tribes of Israel behind them.

Update: Jessica suspects they're from the Moorish Temple Science of America.


(Posted mostly to test out video from my new iPhone 3GS.)

Washroom graffiti: "Ryerson is gay for accepting gayness," with lots of followup "discussion." (at the #pcto2010 afterparty)

Washroom walls are the original twitter.

"Do not insert coins" - a note on a *debit* machine. I wonder how many times this had to happen before the note got posted

At the Pizza Pizza at Church and Dundas.

I go out for one drink with @ifoox and the next minute, I've bought his iPhone 3GS.

Prepare for a deluge of videos and high-quality iphone photos!

And if anyone wants to buy an 8GB iPhone 3G off me before I put it on
Craigslist, send me a message.
