On the water

February 26, 2010

I went over to a small event this afternoon over in one of the fancy hotels on the water. The event was not too interesting to me, unfortunately. I wish I had headed over to LiveCity in Yaletown instead, but I took a chance and ended with enough time to check out The Rings. So, [...]

Not quite night shots

February 26, 2010

My lunch time adventure today consisted of hopping on the Canada Line to make a quick trip into the official Coke Pin Trading Centre at the airport. It was a short and sweet trip. If you put a pin on their map, you get a coke pin made of recycled material. Very cool. The big [...]

A late afternoon stroll

February 24, 2010

I hate to even say this, but I think things are winding down in Vancouver. The line up for the Mint Pavilion was only about 3 hours long when I took my lunch at 1:30 this afternoon. One of my big desires ever since Germany House was under construction down on Cordova Street was to [...]

Boing!

February 23, 2010

I went down to The Vancouver Art Gallery today for the MukMuk rally (more on that next) but was terribly distracted by some guys in red shirts bouncing on a trampoline. Someone said they were the Olympic trampoline team, but I didn’t see anything identifying them officially. But who cares? They were awesome. Here’s some [...]

Yesterday’s news

February 23, 2010

I’m getting caught up. After the doggy post yesterday, I had to to go to bed. Here’s a couple more photos from yesterday.

Yesterday morning at 8:40-ish, the news van was outside our building doing a piece on the Mint Pavilion. At that time, the estimated wait to see the medals was 7 hours. And my [...]

2) They gave us food and beverages
3) Did I mention the Olympic pins?
4) Then a member of the IOC came to tell us the following (please note, this is my summary. Not a direct quote):

Sled Dogs!

February 22, 2010

Yet another day with another lunch time adventure! I had heard on twitter this morning the Huskies would be down in Yaletown at the RoundHouse for a little while at lunch. At 11:45, I left the office and hopped 1 stop to the RoundHouse. I got off the train, went over to the spot. No [...]

The Day Off Edition

February 21, 2010

Believe me. I felt weird not going downtown today. I felt a little antsy, like I was missing something. But tomorrow it’s back to Vancouver where I’ll be hanging out in Yaletown for a flickr meet-up after work.
In lieu of some funky downtown shots, I thought I’d give you a “collectible” update.
Here’s my special bag [...]

Today’s theme: Traffic

February 20, 2010

Mike and I headed to downtown this afternoon for a little shopping adventure. We are on a mission to find an official Winter Games mug to send to a friend in Nova Scotia. We also wanted to see the W2 Social Media Centre to see where the cool kids hang out.
God only knows why, but [...]

Then Michelle Kwan & Scott Hamilton arrived…

February 19, 2010

Not only is Catherine a champion scout for celebrities, she is also the best spot finder for photos. Somehow we muscled through about 3 layers of people so she was able to get right to the barrier between the cement and the ice skating rink. I used her shoulder as a tripod and leaned in [...]
