5YAT: I Blame CBC For My Meltdown

26 December, 2004 – Cold & Windy –14º [This post is part of the 5 Years Ago Today Series] Mainland: still wide open in HUGE patches and the gap is gaping. Beautiful ice structures where the ice formed against the rocks and then lifted off them with the tides. Glen-side: Looks like 8-10” thick when I walked out parallel to Long Beach. Big snow and wind tonight and tomorrow up to 20cm snow expected with winds gusting up to 70km. With the impending BIG wind I won’t be crossing – I might just blow away. Not that I’ve dropped that…

From Rick Spence‘s Sweep! Sweep! to Rannies photomontage of the seating chart last night’s adventure in National Television has been pretty effectively blogged. Add in Ryan & Adam‘s backstage video and you’ll have the whole experience… sans the kickin’ brunch with Eden & Kate, but that was just for us. In case you didn’t know. We won!!!! The bloggers swept the whole thing: Team Captain – Samantha Bee – Won. Team Bloggers – Won. Best Individual Score – Rick Spence (and co-back row rowdy) – Won. Personally, after doing pathetically on the pre-game online Mental Gymnastic’s (I scored somewhere between…

Test The Nation Now With Lex, Kate & Rannie!

The 21st century: have you been paying attention? This century is only in its first decade and already there’s a test? I know many of you don’t watch television… but would you turn on CBC if you knew I was going to be on it? What if you knew, for certain, that I’d be doing something other than shilling CheapEats? How about if you knew that you could play along and show me up for the trivia-sluggard I truly am? Live on television, I’ll be competing with 35 other Bloggers on Test The Nation: Trivia, a national quiz show where…

Friday was designated photo-hanging day. We were joined by Mary (seen above) from CBC TV, Grant & Cindy from the Telegraph Journal. They each walked across the river to meet us at the first tree. Then came with us as we hung photos on the first 10 trees. Constantly asking each other to get out of their shots of the trees and us hanging photos. Part of the problem was that I kept making them help. Hey, there were 3 of them and only 2 of us. No way they were going to get to just stand around without helping.…

To be in town for a 7:45am interview, I needed to meet Sandy at the store between 7am and 7:10am. Not so big a deal if I hit the river at 6:40am with the dogsled. Well that is if the dogs bother to move slightly faster than molasses. They didn’t. Then they dumped of on my ass halfway down the hill. Twice. When I pointed out they were bad dogs and that I’d like them to go faster on the way home, they agreed and took off without me. Another benefit of the 50paces trees is that bad dogs some…

CBC this morning

Yes, it’s true, I was on the CBC this morning talking about the 50 Paces Project… and yes, my typing has improved because I’m using a real keyboard. I have 150 photos to label that need me to have internet access to match the label with the photo. Kindly my friends Sandy & MJ are letting me hid out in the basement with their computer and get my fix do my work. We’ll be installing the photos Friday. I’ve also found that I CAN post photos and blog posts to unsweetened.ca from my cell phone. Though the photos aren’t anything…

All the trees are in – woo hoo! And someone told the CBC about the project. Now I’ve been invited in for an interview tomorrow morning at 7:30am. I was hoping dad could come too, but logistically it’s not going to work.

Objectification

I heard Tori Allen on Metro Morning talking about the GOTCHA exhibit. An installation which asks people wandering around during Nuit Blanche to photograph a stranger on the street who is an “ethnic” and send the photograph to be displayed in real time, as part of the installation. “Artists and audiences attending Nuit Blanche are welcomed to participate in this surveillance project. You can take photographs discreetly or overtly of people you identify as “ethnic” based on your own perception and interpretation. Participants are asked to use their cell phones to capture faces, by using a pop mail server technology.…

When was the last time you had to speak in front of a group? How did you feel? The last “public speaking” I did was on July 28th as part of a CBC panel hosted by Jian Ghomeshi on Sounds Like Canada. We were discussing Street Meat. In Bangkok, there are the satay shacks. In Hong Kong, the noodle stands. In Mexico City, the freshly made tacos. It seems that no matter where you travel in the world… quality street meat beckons. But not here. Not in Canada. Ours is a country where – on that late night walk home…

Yes it’s true, I’m going to be CBC 1 discussing Street Meat with Jian Ghomeshi on Sounds Like Canada Friday. I’m hoping the conversation will expand beyond just Street Meats since the hotdog cart is the strongest representative in Toronto’s Street Meats category. However there are plenty of other Street Treats to be had – empanada, puri, doubles, pupusas, roti, roasted corn and even waffle fishies filled with bean paste. And I’m willing to wax poetic about all of them! Jian & I will be joined by a food blogger from Vancouver and a donair & dog aficionado from Halifax.…
