Hey everyone so Toronto’s band Temple of Life, were in a battle of the bands competition at Le National in Montreal, and came in third place. They will be competing in the final sometime in January or February 2010. Check out their set at Le National Below.
I’ve been living in Montreal for about 3 years now, and I’ve seen a woman that always drives a (left hand) London cab. Today I actually had time to snap a picture! I would really like to know the story behind this lady and her cab!
This is he SkyCoaster Ride at La Ronde (Six Flags) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This ride is really great. A must try if you are not faint hearted. I am the one on the left (when we first fall). The ride was fully booked the entire day, but I luckily found some friends that had an extra spot.
Today has been a day I have been really looking forward to, because Steve Wozniak aka “The Woz” came to speak about technology at Concordia University. He started off by just talking and then he started answering Questions. I really enjoyed his session at Concordia because I got a better understanding of him and how he operates. I say this because he is someone to look up to. His work speaks for itself as well as his attitude.
Here are some videos that illustrate what I did this summer in Canada. I was in Montreal, Mont Tremblant, and Toronto!

And that concludes the most interesting things I did this summer. For the Period I was in Montreal and Mont Tremblant I was with my parents, which was great. When in Toronto I was with many friends and that as well was great!
I have not posted recently because my parents are in town, and I am busy spending time with them and being a tour guide. With that said I have had a lot of exciting video to capture and thought I would Share. If you like the videos and would like to know anything about them let me know.

Took these pictures in Westmount Park yesterday. I decided to make wallpapers out of them. They are in 16:10 Aspect ratio. Enjoy! (click on the picture to see the full size)
Yesterday I received my Bixi key. Bixi is a public bicycle service in Montreal. So I was so happy to receive my key yesterday, and I biked around and discovered parts of Montreal that I have never been to. As you can see from the stats I drove 39 KM, saved 10kg in greenhouse gas emissions, and 3 Liters of gas if i was to have riden a car for all those trips. If you want to know where these figures are generated from here it is: The distance you traveled is an estimate, calculated using an assumed speed of 12 km/h and depending upon the time of use. Source : Vélo Québec.
The reduction in greenhouses gases emitted is an estimate calculated according to The Urban Transportation Emissions Calculator for a light passenger vehicle, depending upon your estimated traveling distance. Source : Transport Canada, April 2008.
The amount of gas saved is an estimate calculated according to Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE ) norms for tourist vehicles, establishing average gas consumption of 8.5 litres/100 km. Source: Environment Canada.
