J'aime PodCamp Montréal 2008 I’m going to Podcamp Montreal! After missing several podcamps, Toronto, New York, Boston, I am finally going to make it to my first Podcamp in Montreal! I have been told by friends that these conferences are quite fun to attend, so I expect Podcamp Montreal to be just as good as any other Podcamp.

Podcamp Montreal will be from Sept. 20-21, only two weeks from WordCamp Toronto, so I will be extra inspired for my own conference.

If you are also going, let me know.

 

Braving the Behemoth August 12, 2008

I’ve been on large Roller Coasters before. Roller Coasters that have an infinite number of loops, that travel backwards and ones that get up to 60mph in three seconds. My resume of coasters include Kumba and Montu at Busch Gardens in Florida, (both are enormous four seats across Roller Coasters), Rock n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s MGM Studios and every single Coaster at Canada’s Wonderland. I thought with my experience on these coasters, that I could handle anything until I saw the Behemoth at Wonderland.

The first drop that looks like it is on a 90 degree angle looked very intimadating from the highway. Right up until the very last minute before I went down the big drop, my heart was racing in anticipation of what might be. 

Watch this video for my reaction…

 

The Challenge: To Make My Teeth Whiter August 11, 2008

I’m on week two of my Listerine Quick Dissolving Stips trial. I am participating in a program to try out these new whitening strips for a few weeks. I have been trying them twice a day for the last week and a half and so far I haven’t noticed any drastic changes, but that will come in time I hope.

A Toronto Marketing company has hooked me up with a Listerine Quick Dissolving Strips Starter Kit and 30 samples to hand out to all my friends.

I will update you with my progress in the next week or so.
