2012

So this is a couple months late, but back in September, I attended my dad’s annual Mushroom Forey. Just like last year, we hiked the Bruce Trail across the street from where they live.

I attended the Quantified Self Conference 2012 last weekend, it was a total blast! I learned a lot, and I have a huge list of todo’s from the thing.

Hacklab.to exhibited at the Montreal Mini Maker Faire this past weekend, we drove up with a carload of stuff and people and had a total blast!

Surprisingly, I haven’t blogged much here about the Toronto Awesome Foundation. We’re still giving away $1000 every month to the most awesome idea.

About a month ago, Ryan Taylor spoke at the Toronto Wearables Meetup (though ironically it seems the February meetup never got a webpage!), about his business Fair Trade Jewellery Company. He spends a lot of time sourcing conflict-free materials for his high-end designer jewelry.

So it’s totally not like me to toot my own horn, but I figured it’s good to get this kind of stuff collected and to acknowledge all the work that the various reporters and photographers went to to make these recordings, interviews, and stories about me and the stuff I do. Thank you all!

For the last six Monday nights, I’ve been taking a “lost wax casting” class at devil’s workshop. It’s been super fascinating and fun! The process starts with wax bools, which you carve into the objects that you want.

It’s been awhile since I blogged because I’ve been super busy over the last month or so. I haven’t been taking a lot of photos though.
