Vancouver Canucks v Chicago Blackhawks, April 26th 2011.
This video that I shot sort of went viral, locally in British Columbia anyway, after Vancouver won Game 7 of the 1st round of the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference. It was picked up by the Georgia Straight, Global TV BC and Vancity Buzz as well as shared across blogs, twitter and facebook. I thought that I should blog it seeing as how I filmed it.
FITC (Flash in the Can) is one of the largest and longest running events for the design and technology community. The 2009 Toronto event celebrated what it means to “live, think and play outside the lines” this year, with three days packed full of inspiring sessions focused on the art and craft of interactive design and technology.
Interestingly, the “Flash in the Can” name is a reference to Adobe’s Flash software and CAN – taken from Canada. The inaugural festival previously focused strictly on Flash. However, the scope of events has broadened to include motion design, creative inspiration, mobile and gaming technologies as well as other forms of interactive and digital media technologies such as Flex, Air and others.
This month’s cool tune is “Stick to Your Line” by R.S.A.G.
Known as one of the most innovative Irish musicians around, Jeremy Hickey performs solo with a ‘virtual band’ projected onto a screen. I first saw him perform on Irish television last year. What I noticed first was the screen projections, then the one-man drummer band and then the music, which I like very much.
“The genesis of the new visual experience – sound and vision hand in hand. A multi-media rock and roll cornucopia; the future is here.”

My choice of a cool tune for the last Friday of each month.
This month’s cool tune is “Her Eyes Are Underneath The Ground” by Anthony & The Johnsons. Too beautiful for words.

I learned a lot in 2008… and I loved a lot as well. Read about some of the highlights of my year from music, books, design, the web and technology to Obama, going green, success and failure, who I am/ what I do and sticktuitiveness!
