My Life On Mars

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I’m officially a Martian. And no, I didn’t have my DNA tested.

Last week was the beginning of my first ‘real job’ in a long long while. I was hired by the MaRS Centre in Toronto to take on the exciting role of “Online Content Producer”. So from time to time now rozbloggers, you’ll see posts filed under the category “My Life On MaRS”. This is basically just a spot for me to dump the funny and enlightening tidbits encountered as I re-enter the world of the full-time working.

One of my first orders of business was to attend the annual Golf Day, yesterday - at Richmond Hill Golf Course. Had a great time, and took home the “Best Dressed” award, apparently for being the only person who doesn’t know what contemporary golf attire is supposed to look like. LOL! For the record Kevin - I still think that award belonged to you. :)

Check out a few pictures from the big day on my Flickr page - and next time you’re near College and University drop by and say hello! I’ll buy you a coffee.

Yes that’s my new boss at the MaRS Centre, Charles Plant. You can see we share a similar sense of humour.  :)

This Is Why Twitter Pals Rock

Met up with my social media pals in Hamilton yesterday. We talked iPhone, CastRoller and Flip Video - and then they sang me ‘Happy Birthday’, and posted it online for you all to enjoy. My Twitter pals rock!

Hey gang!

It’s not often you get to see a guy in a gorilla suit having an intelligent discussion about zoos. That said - the new video I produced for The Debaters is live at cbc.ca/entertainment. It was shot backstage during the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

Check it out at the official YouTube Debaters channel as well, or on the Debaters Facebook group!
