I was sitting quietly browsing Techcrunch and GigaOm when I heard really loud dhol music. Ran down and there was a cavalcade of desis. It was part of the Khalsa Day Parade in Toronto going from the CNE to Nathan Philips Square. The reason that I titled this ‘Sikhism’ is cause of the engrossing 15 min conversation I had with one of the sikhs while I was trying to frame my shots. Got a crash course from a ‘partial sikh’ as he described himself.

I was lucky enough to enjoy the Nelly Furtado concert at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto with my best friend. The lights started going crazy right before she came on and I had to take a time lapse photo of it. I wish I could have held it steadier, but it had to do.

This is such an awesome song. The lyrics really connect and the video was done in all reverse and then reversed in edit to show a real unique final product.

Come on, can I dream for one day?
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Now I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

I’m the typical
I’m the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Because it’s draggin’ me down
Oh, I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around?

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical?

I dont know whats going on but I feel like suddenly life has slowed down. The past few weeks seemed to have flown by compared to the present. But that’s always the case isn’t it. I can’t stop dreaming about the upcoming summer.

Google TiSP just launched. Only Google can afford such an April Fool’s joke. I LOVE G! Instructions on how to get your own GFlush:

Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process — provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully.

#1 Remove the spindle of fiber-optic cable from your TiSP installation kit.

#2 Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet.

#3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlushâ„¢ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes.

#4 When the GFlush is complete, the spindle will (or at least should) have largely unraveled, exposing a connector at the remaining end. Detach the cable from the spindle, taking care not to allow the cable to slip into the toilet.

#5 Plug the fiber-optic cable into your TiSP wireless router, which has a specially designed counterweight to withstand the centripetal force of flushing.

#6 Insert the TiSP installation CD and run the setup utility to install the Google Toolbar (required) and the rest of the TiSP software, which will automatically configure your computer’s network settings.

#7 Within sixty minutes — assuming proper data flow — the other end of your fiber-optic cable should have reached the nearest TiSP Access Node, where our Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will remove the sinker and plug the line into our global data networking system.

#8 Congratulations, you’re online! (Please wash your hands before surfing.)
