While I’m sure you’ve all been wondering what’s been up with this blog since my last post on September 17th, it’s more likely you’ve simply forgotten about it. So have I, obviously. But fortunately this isn’t one of those blog posts where I apologize about not posting, give you several excuses as to why, promise to blog more only to break that promise in a couple weeks. There are several reasons why I don’t blog much anymore. Let’s just say that everything changes, and this blog is no different.
Since September, one thing you might not be aware of is that I moved back home to Toronto. While Vancouver gave me the opportunity to work with and meet some really great people, as I began adjusting to life on the west coast I began taking for granted something I used to value above all else… time. And I forgot how fast it flies. So after 2 years of experimenting out west I decided it was time for me to stop wasting time and come home.
Now that I am home, I can’t say what will become of this site. Perhaps I’ll start blogging again. Perhaps not. Only the future will tell. One thing you may be interested to know is that I’ve been working really hard with my partner Mike to relaunch Inquiringmind. So in about a week, we’ll be going live with the first of a multi-phase site rollout. Stay tuned.

Today after lunch, I got back to my desk to find a package waiting to be unwrapped. I don’t know if this was just a coincidence (because one of my most infamous vices are potato chips) but the good people over at Pop Chips were kind enough to send me a care package with their lineup of products inside.

The weather here in Vancouver can be so miserable and those few times when it is nice, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in the city staying indoors not taking advantage. So Meghan and I decided to head over to the Capilano Suspension Bridge in north van to spend a couple hours with mother nature herself. Here’s a couple pics for your viewing pleasure…

The other day while perusing Google Images for a presentation I was putting together, I happened to stumble across a vintage photograph of Larry Bird. Needless to say I was taken with the image and my forthcoming inquisition led me to an index of THE MOST INTERESTING Michael Jordan photographs I have ever seen. So I spent the next couple of hours downloading them all… 1,240 images in total. There are some duplicates and some of the photos aren’t of M.J. but I’d estimate that 90% of them are. In the months to come I will be sharing my findings with all of you here on this Tumblr, so I’d recommend you subscribe to it RIGHT NOW. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

Feeling a bit under the weather. Decided to stay in for most of the weekend. Also realized that in the past year, my camera has basically done nothing but sit on my desk. What better way to change that than by taking photos. I’m gonna try and bring my camera with me around more often… key word being TRY. Here are some random photos from around the crib.

Grinding people, G.R.I.N.D.I.N.G.
This project that I just recently finished up for Jordan Brand was completely consuming my life. I just couldn’t get my mind off of it. Which is good because most people can’t wait to let go of what it is they’re working on. What started out as a loose idea snowballed into something unique and I’d like you all to take the time to check it out, cause I’m rather proud of this one.
P.S. – Don’t forget to “like” it!

My first post of 2011 comes in a form of something more akin to a status update rather than a blog post. After spending 7 days on holiday in lovely Los Cabos Mexico to celebrate the wedding of my big brother Mathias and his lovely wife Yashan, I am sad to say that I’m back to reality. This trip really was one for the ages and even with my terrible memory I don’t see how I could ever forget it (although those who know me may say otherwise). I suppose the only thing left to do is to go through all the pictures and begin editing them. I plan to have something up for everyone to enjoy this weekend, if time should allow it… so stay tuned.
P.S. – Happy New Year everybody! Let’s get it!

A couple weeks ago, Meghan and I sporadically decided to drive to Seattle and check it out. I didn’t take as many photos as I normally do because taking photos sometimes feels like such a task. Regardless, here are a few of the shots from that weekend.

Since August, there’s been a lot of “things” going on around me that’s needed my attention, to which being digitally social and blogging come a close second to. Of those “things” that have been keeping me from sharing all the other wonderful things I usually share with you on this blog, Starcraft II has proved to be hardest to detach myself from. I’m not terribly bad or good, but I’m really trying hard to get better… which is why I’m so hooked. It takes up essentially all my free time.
I understand that this activity is completely counter to everything else in my life… it’s very time consuming and completely unproductive. But the more I think about it the more I realize that I could use a sprinkle more of things that have nothing more than pure entertainment value. I don’t go out partying, I rarely eat out, I don’t watch television, and I don’t play video games. I’m a shopaholic and I play Starcraft.
So there you have it. My big secret is out. And now that you know, feel free to laugh and point… because me writing this post is me being comfortable with knowing that this is nerdy and unproductive and isn’t what a “hustler” does, but you know what… at least I’m man-ing up.
If anyone wants to “add me” to their Starcraft account, feel free to do so. My handle is “boroughbaby” and my character code is “980″… I’m always down for a game.
