Technology to beam me out of this cold?
We're back in the studio this week shooting our first batch of CFH shows for 2005! We did a couple of CES shows yesterday and, much to my surprise, we included some Vegas bloopers...ah, if only one could go back in time...LOL!
It's freezing in Toronto, but with layers and layers one can stay warm...I think. I feel badly for Leo having to brave this weather, but he seems to enjoy it (maybe 'cause he knows Cali is in his near future)!
Now's about the time I surf the Web day and night looking for a cheap place to bake on the beach for a week...where's Johnny Jet when you need him? Fortunately for all of us he's coming back in a month or so to do some travel tip segments! ;) I need to talk to him...soon...
Have a great day! I'll post some in-studio pics later this week!

Online info for tsunami donations
I was just doing some work for Microsoft Home Magazine and I noticed they just put up a tsunami donations page, so I'm posting the "how to help" info here as well.

Andy & Patrick in the press room
We're in the studio shooting CFH again this week. We'll be doing two CES shows, so stay tuned for our conference coverage. My segments will focus on music and video (camcorders) - and Andy is all over CES TV trends.
Enjoy the rest of the w/end! :)

HELP! Aussie sites? Music sites?
CFH in OZ
Since CFH is venturing down under within the next couple of months, I was wondering if anyone has any cool Aussie sites that I can review - either for the Web Workshop or Amber's Picks?
CFH MUSIC WEEK
Also, we're working on some music shows in the coming weeks. What are some of your fav music sites and/or gadgets?
Thx in advance for any help!

Sleepless at CES
Me, Patrick, and Andy - CES press room
We just returned on the red-eye from Vegas! What a trip! It was my first time at CES, so I was overwhelmed (in a good way ;). Andy and I spent some time with folks from Sony, Canon, Microsoft, DLO, Motorola, Creative, and a few other vendors. Expect to see some product reviews on CFH in the coming months...
Tonight we'll be talking CES on CFRB's Tech Talk with Marc Saltzman (6pm).
And then it's time for sleep!!!

Ring in the new year Hali style
I'm in Halifax for the next couple of days - and lucky for me my bro's band (SOLCOLA) is playing tomorrow night (NYE) at Niche (bottom of Spring Garden Road).
If you don't already have plans, it should be an awesome time/show! Maybe see you on the dance floor ;) - if not, have a great NYE 2004!
