My first (and probably last) cute kitten video
These days, everyone seems to have a cute kitten or sneezing panda video on the internets. Surprised Kitty is one of the most famous. This kitty may not be quite as cute, but she is relatively amusing to watch:
UBC LipDub feat. the Banana Dance
While taking some time to relax in Vancouver with family and friends, I went out to my alma mater and participated in a little video project which has been somewhat popular on the interwebs since it first went online three days ago: UBC LipDub.
You can see me in my banana costume dancing beside another guy in a banana costume, in the background at 4:26 and in the foreground at 4:55. My sister is seen spinning glow poi in the dark room a few seconds later (well, the glow poi are visible, she’s somewhat hidden).

And the award for Best Director goes to… Josephine Anderson!
My sister Josephine is an up-and-coming filmmaker and, as with all four of my siblings, I’m extremely proud of her. Back in mid-December, Josephine got an invitation from Nokia to participate in their Nokia N8: Direct and Project 1 minute film competition after Nokia saw her website: JosephineAnderson.ca, which I helped her build and maintain (yes, I’m bragging).
So, on January 19th, my sister headed downtown to the Vancouver Art Gallery where all the film entries were to be screened. The room was filled to capacity, over two dozen short films were shown, and people were amazed over and over by what can be accomplished when working with only 60 seconds.
Then, the host announced the winner: Josephine Anderson.
Check out her creative video below. Then, if you’re interested to see some of her other projects, head over to her website and take a look!

Now, if you enjoyed watching any of her films, how about sharing the love by sharing this here link with a few of your friends?

Dear Parents: Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary
My parents were married in Vancouver on November 15th, 1980. They somehow managed to raise five kids, all of whom are relatively literate, generally well-fed, usually clothed, and in mostly good health. We’ve all been volunteers and had paid jobs, have travelled to various degrees, and made friends from as many different backgrounds and social groups as you could imagine.
Most, if not all, of this would have been impossible without the hard work, support, and love we all received and continue to receive from our parents.
As a little surprise, we decided to make a short video for them. We decided on a script as a group and my sister Josephine, a budding documentary filmmaker, quickly put it all together:
