… is a photographical concept by Oliver Pauk (Toronto, ON)
“The most significant way in which humans waste energy is in the form of heat. In North America, nearly half of the energy produced is released from our products, processes and buildings, directly into the atmosphere and the water system. Waste heat recovery is the process of harnessing this thermal energy and re-using it. I have chosen to photograph heating, ventilation and air conditioning units and to use the effect of thermal imagery in order to portray their huge potential for heat recovery.
Estimates state that in the U.S., waste heat recovery has the potential to satisfy forty percent of total energy requirements. Operating at this level would save the American economy roughly 150 billion dollars per year and would, simultaneously, decrease greenhouse gas emissions by twenty percent; the equivalent of taking every passenger vehicle off of the road.”

Awarding the people who live in the moment,
The noble who write and capture the best in life,
The bold who reminded us what really mattered –
Savoring the experience of quality time.
=============
I got awarded this. It just randomly came in my inbox and realized it was a WordPress blogger thing.
Either way, I’m speechless.
I just post what I feel like… it’s probably why I got the Best Moment Award: because I live in the moment.
Thanks
… is a visual artist based in Toronto, ON living in Aurora, ON
“Sara Shields was born in 1990 and currently practices art in the Toronto area. Sara’s works have been purchased by clients in Canada and the UK.
Sara graduated from the Fine Arts Studio program at Toronto’s Centennial College in 2010. While there, she started to develop her unique style of drawing, using paper and pastels – a style that continues to evolve today.
Sara’s obsession with exploring the transformation of the natural and real into the surreal and strange turns any simple expression or movement of the human form into something new, somewhere far from the “normal.” Each drawing originates in a nude reference, but morphs into mystery, presenting wild, highly energized abstract forms which are in alien contrast to the human world. Let their movement draw you in and sweep you away.”

… is a techno DJ duo from Ireland, currently based in Toronto, ON.
=================
I met them when they were still “Cristian & Hynes.” I don’t remember how I discovered them but they were pretty fresh from Ireland at the time, something like 2 months and they loved it here. They started DJing in Ireland and found a base here in TO so they kept rolling.

PS.
Speaker Fucking
“Verb phrase;
Standing right in front of the speakers, whether dancing or not. While it may feel really fucking good for the speaker fucker, this usually diminishes the sound quality for everyone listening to the music and is generally frowned upon by those who do not speaker fuck. Side-effects of speaker fucking generally include eventual deafness, desensitization to vibration, and feeling really fucking good while you’re doing it.
“I was speaker fucking for the last ten tracks and my bones are still quakin’ from the bass shakin'”
– Urban Dictionary
It’s not my thing anymore these days but I used to speaker fuck my face off.
If you’ve never done it… you’re missing out.
…is a film I took part in (tech rotoscoping, editing) for my final project in Sheridan – Oakville, ON
Fourth of July – An Arctic Turn from Evan DeRushie on Vimeo.
==================
There’s 2 kinds of rotoscoping:
1. The kind where you trace objects frame by frame (like this one) because we can’t isolate it via green screen or some other reason(s)
2. Animation rotoscoping, where you take live-action shots and turn it into animation.
This was the former. For the latter check out A Scanner Darkly if you wanna see what I mean.
