We just finished up another CFH shoot week Friday, our last before the holidays. We had some amazing tech guests who flew in from California to talk shop, including Alex Lindsay, Mikkel Aaland, and Steve Gibson. Thx to Mikkel for giving me (and signing) his book - Shooting Digital (I just bought a Canon Elph S410, so I need some pro picture-taking tips!).

We also had a chance to go out dancing Thursday night at Toronto's best holiday party - hosted by Media Profile! Leo and Andy sure can bust a move ;).

P.S. I'm addicted to iTunes CDN Music Store - HELP!

I had a chance to get away from my computer Saturday night to check out Supercross at the Sky Dome - saw rider Ricky Carmichael rule the track! I don't know how these guys race around the track at these speed (there were some nasty wipe-outs!). The best part of the evening was the young seven and eight year olds who were in Toronto competing from as far away as California - so cute ;).

Anyhow, back to tech...

We're in the studio shooting CFH this week - had a great time at Leo's book signing yesterday (big thx to everyone who showed up!).

"Talk" soon.

If you're roaming around Toronto today, make sure you come on down to Indigo’s Queensway store in Etobicoke. Leo will be signing copies of his new book - and Andy and I will be joining him.

We'll all be there from 11-2! Hope to see you!

Tune into CFH tonight at 6pm (EST) for another Web Workshop segment. I'll be reviewing a website from a Halifax viewer who runs a Hummer adventure tour company in Nova Scotia. Check out their site for some cool off-roading video!

Thanks to everyone for submitting your sites for review (amber@callforhelptv.com). I receive loads of requests, so if I don't get to yours feel free to post it on my blog and I'll try my best to check it out.

Apple Canada said that it would still make its November iTunes Canada launch date, but today they announced a delay.

Hope they make it up in time for the holidays ;)!

Coming up on Call for Help Nov. 24th (6pm) I'm reviewing a site called Daily Candy, which lets you sign up for a sensational email magazine. The content is cute (e.g. buy bite-sized travel supplies on the Internet), funny (e.g. join an online dating community for your pet's sake), and informative (e.g. find wine tutors on the Web).

And best of all, it's free!

Check out an article in today's Globe and Mail about Daily Candy

Sweet stuff ;).
