What's under your Mask?
via behance.net *squee!* - this is beyond awesome! Masks through the history of pop culture :D The simplest design schemas at times can often be the ones that really stand out. This might be the last post I make of 2009, so make sure you have a wicked New Year’s wherever you are, whatever you’re doing. —case p. Posted via web from Doomz’s...

The Great Debate: Real Vs. Artificial Christmas...
via scientificblogging.com Oh, look! Another article on whether real or fake trees are the best way to go. And it’s on scientific blogging! Yup - they say that artificial trees would be the way to go - you know, having long-term usability and cost-effectiveness and all, if you know… they weren’t all potentially lined with lead. Just saying. —case p. Posted via web...

Rochester aka Juice - A New Day
via revver.com My jam of the moment: Rochester - “A New Day”. I only heard this song for the first time at a party last night, and I knew I needed to find out more about it. Reppin’ Toronto’s Islington/Finch intersection, Rochester’s had a bit of acclaim in our community, and with this, I can see why. This song’s just damn addictive. Was hard for me to...

Christmas by the Numbers
via farm3.static.flickr.com Source: http://www.billshrink.com/blog/the-christmas-season-by-the-numbers/ A very interesting layout regarding Xmas and Christmas (my own personal differentiation is Christmas = the Christian celebration of Christ, Xmas = the commercial celebration of gift giving). The historical context behind Christmas is news to me, but it’s always good to have as much...

Stats make me happy :)
So I’ve been using Google Analytics to gather stats on my Posterous account, and I’ve found out some interesting stuff: Wow! People are reading my Posterous from all over the world! (Don’t worry, this doesn’t show me IP information or anything - just very general stats on my reader base.) I’d love to know what people from all over the world think of the stuff...

Battle of the Bands Megapost - Everything you...
After weeks of basking in the awesomeness of the event, I think I’ve finally calmed down enough to take a crack at writing a much-needed entry on the 2009 OPS Battle of the Bands. It was a great event - I haven’t heard the official numbers on what the attendance was like as of yet, but I think the two charities that were being supported by the event - United Way and Ryan’s Well...

I ate these!
Download now or preview on posterous Godiva Truffles.pdf (201 KB) A coworker had brought in truffles and told all of us to have one, since he’s a really nice guy. Since I’m a nice guy, I let everyone else go first and ended up eating the 2008 Crème Brûlée. I’m not usually a fan of chocolate, but it was DIFFERENT. TASTILY DIFFERENT. I recommend...
Weekend Sketches
Hey y’all, just a quickie for now. You’ll probably start to see some more sketchwork from me as I try to put together all the stuff I doodle in notebooks, on scraps of paper, whatever I can find. People often say that you won’t find me without at least a pen/pencil and a piece of paper to draw something on. What can I say? I keep busy. This mini-collection shows a logo I’m...

Casey's Cup of Awesomeness
I’m at a Christmas party that’s pretty fun - meeting lots of cool people and drinking out of the Cup of Awesomeness. We’ve made our own sub-party upstairs. Currently talking with some Christmas botanists who know the difference between mistletoe and holly. Okay, yeah, I got nothing. —case p.

Avatar 3D goodness!
Hey all, So I got to check out Avatar in 3D! It was good times - elaborate visuals, crazy special effects and interesting wildlife. Worth every penny? Probably not, though it was pretty cool seeing everything. In 3D!!! Casey’s rating: 8/10. —case p. Posted via email from Doomz’s posterous | Comment »
Today's Mail
I was hoping to tell you all stories of how I got my Threadless t-shirts in the mail today, but the girl who answered the phone at the local post office gave me the wrong closing time, and so by the time I was done hanging with my friend who’s in town from Sweden, the window of opportunity had closed. (Hopefully I can snag them on Monday.) Instead, this is what was waiting in the mail for me...

Dear You Know Who You Are,
I’m going into work today ready for battle because of you. You really need to check your facts before you accuse me of something. Don’t tell me something has been “outstanding” for several weeks when it hasn’t been. OUTSTANDING is my dedication to the job. OUTSTANDING is my quality of work. It is NOT that document. If you’d gone back and saw the THREE REMINDER...
My day.
After a Christmas party last night, I woke up early to run the sound board for church.Then took maternity photos for a friend. Then helped out with the Christmas banquet for my church.I was hoping to get some me-time to work on some design things this evening, but hey. Sometimes it’s just not going to happen. Peace, homefries.—case p. Posted via email from Doomz’s...

Today's epic purchase: The Columbia St. Pierre...
via columbiasportswear.ca I’m telling you - this thing is sweet. Fits perfectly, looks stylish and feels like it can block out any wind that comes at me. I’m going to wear it with pride. And it doesn’t hurt that I got 55% off the price due to certain (completely legal) connections that I find myself happily aligned with. Columbia Sportswear | St. Pierre™ Shell. Gon’...

Doomz in 6B
PLEASE TURN YOUR HEAD 90 DEGREES FOR YOUR VIEWING (IN)CONVENIENCE :) Hey all, So as you can see, I’m using my course time well. After a jam session last night with my new buddy Allie, I felt inspired to start using some newer materials to express mahself. So after being up till about 3 am (!), I’d sharpened some old pencils, and with this one I used a 6B pencils to get those darks...
Door Dodgers
Dear Toronto, You have a lot of different types of people in your borders - people often say that you’re one of the most diverse cities in the world. However, this is not limited to the cultural background your peoples have or the various languages they speak. No, I’m also talking about the types of characters you have in this far city. Today, I’m calling out the door dodgers....

Apology Haiku
I’ve just been made aware that this morning’s haiku starts with a 6 syllable line. As this just won’t do, I must now write an APOLOGY haiku. Here goes: First line, haiku sucked / Too many syllables there / Screw you, I was beat! ;D —case “Poet and he don’t know it” p. Posted via web from Doomz’s posterous | Comment »
Canadian Weather: A Haiku.
Dear readers, Allow me to share my opinion of the weather this morning in the form of a short haiku. Stupid sleet storm pounding Soaked my clothing to the bone Hate you, Canada I was only walking to the train station for 15 minutes, and my clothes are two shades of colour - darker on the front, lighter on the back. Canada? FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!! Thank you, —case p. Posted via...

Mobile Media Converter: Makes Mobile Life Easier
via miksoft.net If you’ve been looking at all for a program to convert those pesky .amr files on your cellphone into something a little more useful, I find this program pretty helpful - Miksoft’s Mobile Media Converter. I tend to record a lot of lyrics and song ideas into my BlackBerry when I’m on the go, so being able to use freeware to convert them into high-quality WAV and...

Newegg.ca! Packaging FAIL. During Cyber Monday (which for those of you not in the know has less to do with a day reserved for the celebration of illicit activities online and more to do with the Monday following Black Friday in the US every year where all the tech sites put extra sales on their merch online) I got a few things with some extra government cash that came my way (go accidentally...

[HD]自主制作アニメーション『the TV show』
via youtube.com Videos like this can make you wish you weren’t living in North America. You can basically look at it like the same sequence of videos done four times over, but it’s after the first time where the madness starts to begin! Round one is the premise; Round two brings you to reality to show you how it all fits in; Round three shows what happens when we merge that...

THE BITTER END
via thebitterend.tv I recommend The Bitter End if you want some edgy comedy that’ll make you laugh. And cry. And make grotesque faces at your monitor. From the brother of people I went to school with, The Bitter End. It’s a bandwagon you should already be riding like poison children. (You’ll see what I mean…) —case p. Posted via web from Doomz’s...

http://mobile.torontoist.com/2009/12/hangin_out_at_st_peters.phpThis is a prime example of what happens when people aren’t doing their jobs right. I must say, it probably made for an interesting commute into work for the bazillions of people who pick up this free Toronto paper, daily.Well, that is if they were awake enough to see what was… *ahem*… staring them in the face. ...

Prepping for a Dinner for 11 (+ baby)
When Casey wants to experiment with his camera, he starts taking pics of random crap. In this case, it was my girlfriend and her friend Sherrie preparing dinner for our House Group from church - we were expecting 11 people (plus Amelia, one of the cutest babies ever). I think it was an excellent table setting and the atmosphere was put together quite well. Check it out here: You might ask why I...
