BPGlobalPR is genius
Great update: Words from the man behind @BPGlobalPR himself — http://streetgiant.com/2010/06/02/leroy-stick-the-man-behind-bpglobalpr/ One of my favourite current pieces of satire/commentary is from @BPGlobalPR discussing the recent oil spill. It’s so good they now have almost 60,000 followers and BP is trying to have it shut down. “After oil started spewing into the Gulf of Mexico following… Continue reading BPGlobalPR is genius

Cell phone barrel — can you hear me now?
Look Mom! I’m filming myself surfing, with a camera phone… from jarrod Tallman on Vimeo. “Sterling Spencer was chatting on his waterproof cell phone while sitting on his board and waiting for waves in Mexico, when a set came in. He had the phone in his hand, so he went ahead and filmed himself on… Continue reading Cell phone barrel — can you hear me now?

A look back at Surfing in 2008
Some of my top moments surfing in 2008. This year I started out with the longboard thinking it would be a half/half between that and the fish. Let’s just say the log won me over fast. We surfed alot — a quick estimate puts it around 45-50 days in the water this past year. Here… Continue reading A look back at Surfing in 2008
Videos from 2008
We don’t take many videos, but every now and then the Canon gets set to video mode and something gets badly recorded. Here’s the ones that are okay from the past year. The highlight is me trying to remember then HUM the tune of “hollerback girl” by Gwen Stefani while playing Cranium in Mexico. Hah.… Continue reading Videos from 2008
The Shins videos
I’m a huge Shins fan. I’ve never grown tired of listening to their albums over the past few years. Something I’ve never really checked out is their videos. I even have my own vision for a Shins video to pitch to them one day (for the song Sleeping Lessons) — ha! The Shins : Turn… Continue reading The Shins videos
I won’t be flying Delta Airlines
Update: Do your part if you care about this; Please send Delta a note through their website — http://www.delta.com/emailus/servlet/EmailUs?cmd=go (Rick has put together a template to base your note off of or copy mine) This is becoming ridiculous; A huge part of planning any surf trip is now carefully choosing an airline that won’t old… Continue reading I won’t be flying Delta Airlines
The 1000th post
1,000 posts. A milestone to be noted. Who woulda guessed I had it in me. It’s still fun and I find that the blog really has it’s own voice now. It mainly speaks to “computer and design nerds who ride planks standing sideways” and hopefully to others who can stomach 100+ photos of empty ocean… Continue reading The 1000th post
Wilson is now an outdoor cat
Wilson Our cat now goes outdoors. Thank god. I owe it all to Linda who pushed him out the door while I was in Mexico — and showed me he’d be fine. He seems much happier now and apart from one bad fight (which we assume he lost) has been the king of the back… Continue reading Wilson is now an outdoor cat

Surfing over the weekend
Great mission from the weekend. Drove down on Friday night with Johan; the two new longboards making my Jetta look tiny with them strapped to the roof. B and Family met us down there. We all hit the water Saturday AM around 7 to find pretty decent glassy waves ’til about 10. Waves between thigh… Continue reading Surfing over the weekend
Airport stoke to end my trip
One more travel story; Getting back to Montréal from Mexico, I was walking out of the airport alone as Jes and Steph had gone to get a cab home. Linda was coming to pick me up so I walked over to the “arrivals car pickup zone” but she wasn’t there yet; so I stood around… Continue reading Airport stoke to end my trip
