We all need to laugh right? I have been searching for this video for a while and finally found it. First saw it on FastCompany last year, and thought it might be something fun to share on a Friday. Old/New is the story of a man who begins the film with a love of new […]
Read more "Old/New A funny Short Film for Friday #film #vintage #funny"The Summer in Nova Scotia is wonderful. On a nice day the sun is shining the trees are so lush it almost looks tropical. Sure we do get a bit more rain then I would like but sometimes a sun shower can create a lovely moment where you rush to grab shade under the nearest […]
Read more "Summer Thoughts and Pictures #graffiti #beach #streetscapes"So I asked myself a question the other day, “Are memories an adequate replacement for time travel?”. I know, a weird question but one that has been stuck in my head ever since I thought about it. Long story short I have been having a bit of a rough few weeks, life changing stuff that I didn’t realize could affect we the way it has. You live and you learn, they say, but at my age I had hoped I would stop learning these life lessons. Well I have not. True story!
Read more "Are memories as good as time travel?"As mentioned in my last blog post I am getting a bit of the winter blues. There were a few last storms, but the spring melt has begun in Halifax and I am dreaming of bikes and bike rides under the sun and stars in the warm weather that is coming. Last year I picked […]
Read more "Fixed Gear Bike Choices – Still Dreaming of Sunshine #bikes #music #fixedgear"I had meant to share this great link with my last post, over 4,000 images of the Halifax peninsula before the massive urban renewal projects of the 1960s. These images show Halifax before Scotia Square, and the Cogswell Interchange (which is set to be redeveloped).

I have been looking at old pictures of Halifax quite a bit lately. As new development are built and more announced my mind has been thinking about transportation in the city. There is the ever present debate about commuter rail, which could make travel into the city core much more efficient if done properly. What […]
Read more "Streetcars in Halifax, We had them Way Back When #halifax #development #transportation"I seem to pause now and then when it comes to posting in my blog but this week I had the urge to talk about Halifax. There is a great deal of new development happening across the city, much of it in the urban centre. This is a fantastic change since most of the development […]
Read more "Development and Transit in Halifax"It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. Though I do have a reserve of graffiti pics lined up for posting. Came across this animated short by the National Film Board of Canada, from the 1960’s, with a Martians view of the earth. Earthlings are cars, interesting perspective during a […]
Read more "The Automobile Inherits the Earth #perspective #animation"Oh the New Year! As January hits mid-month and February is quickly approaching, I find myself dreaming of the Spring, Fall, Summer months. Really any season except for the cold, snowy, wind-swept Winter season. My wanderings have changed from long bike rides, along wooded trails, city streets and paths with beautiful harbour views. To quick […]
Read more "Winter Wanderings, Summer Longing #biking #graffiti #sunshine"I haven’t posted anything for quite some time but came across this book review on CITYLAB, and it is a good review with some great points on the benefits of graffiti, specifically graffiti murals on neighbourhoods.

Read more "Great Article/Book Review “The Art of Encouraging Graffiti”"Summer has began to slip by very quickly without me even noticing it was here. For me September tends to be a month of reflection, mainly because it is my birthday month, and this year it would appear that I have a great deal to think about. That is not necessarily a bad thing but […]
Read more "Summer is Slipping Away But I Have Photos"Thought I would start the work week off with a bit of humour. It was a long weekend here in Nova Scotia. http://www.fastcompany.com/embed/9ef9df4fb0c9c?rel=1&src=embed&veggiemode=1
