[UPDATE - as of October 09, 2013 a new group of organisers have risen up to #SaveHoHoTO - or as I like to call it HoHoTO: TNG - Dec 19,2013] 5 years ago 13 people connected on twitter and inspired a community to come together in 13 days and raise over $10,000 for the Daily…
The first step of Lex Go Further – a Ford Escape was picking up the Ford Escape. Rannie was there when I got it to give me a run down on the Sync & MyFord Touch, Hands-free Lift Gate, and specifically the Active Park Assist Feature which I can’t imagine anyone wanting to try their…
On Friday in the midst of the biggest blizzard of the year, so far, we bundled up and headed out to attend the Ford Blue Party, affectionately hashtagged #FordBlueTO, a big party hosted by Ford Canada in preparation for the upcoming Canadian Auto Show. A great group of people braved the weather to make it…
As many of you know, I am one of the founders of HoHoTO – “the party that twitter built”. It’s for geeks, phreaks, webheads, twitterfiends, techies, media, marketing, and PR types and all their friends. And everyone else! DJ’s, interactive media, and loads of holiday cheer, all for a great cause!
So far we’ve raised $225,000. What can we do in year 5? Help make the world suck a little less.
So… I’ve had my coffee… (unfortunately not the kick-ass coffee I won in the raffle gift basket from RocketFuelCoffee.com because my grinder is broken…) but I digress. I’ve had my coffee. My 10am call is actually 10am Vancouver time (yay!) and now I can take a moment or two to SHOW you what HoHoTO was…
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…

I realized there is absolutely no point in writing up my own description of our Nuit Blanche experience when Rockr has captured it so brilliantly. We all pretty much agreed that this year, Toronto’s Nuit Blanche was less interesting in terms of exhibits than it was last year. I mean, come on. Three boxes —…
Impractical Shoes — Originally uploaded by LexnGer I just found out that a selection of my photos will be appearing on the screens at subway stations across Toronto all day Saturday as part of Transit Stories!!! That’s Saturday June 2nd all day. One Stop Media in conjunction with CONTACT are featuring a series called Transit…
After a winter of very little weather, my return to Toronto was heralded with snow, lots of snow. It started with a gentle snow at the airport causing us to taxi around and delaying our deplaning. I got home and found a living room set on the lawn, tucked into the snow as if had…

I lucked out today for lunch. I was part of an Infest Wisely film shoot at le Petit Dejeuner. Johan invited us to join in on the staff meal and then he whipped up a great, simple pasta with beef, sausage and fresh tomatoes. My dining companions for both the staff meal and for the…
I spoke as part of Word On The Street‘s Blogging Toronto Discussion Panel. All the other panelists: Tim Shore of BlogTO, Rannie Turingan of Photojunkie.ca, Sarah Hood of Unknown Toronto and the panel moderator Matt Blankett of Spacing Magazine, all brought cool swag which they shared with the audience (and me!) The panel went well,…
This weekend I was a part of the Word on the Street Festival’s Blogging Toronto Panel along with Tim Shore of BlogTO, Rannie Turingan of Photojunkie.ca, Sarah Hood of Unknown Toronto and the panel moderator Matt Blankett of Spacing Magazine. It was an interesting and lively conversation about the evolution of blogging, blogging a city…
