I had this post sitting in my pile for a long time, unfortunately being so busy I let it slip by while I work on more important posts. Since I just finished up the Series 6 designs I decided to focus on a couple personal posts. Recently I picked up a Macbook Air to replace my really old Macbook Pro (2008). Having picked up a Mac Pro earlier in the year it seems a bit silly to buy a laptop.

After years of hard work I’m finally happy with the progress I’ve made with Import Bible. In 2011 I was able to sell nearly as many shirts as the past 4 years COMBINED! No small feat, but it wasn’t possible without my awesome customers. Lately I’ve gotten great feedback and comments from my customers around the world and it really blows my mind that someone half way across the world is sporting one of my products.

I know it took me forever but here is my second set of pictures I took during my vacation in New York City. Its only been a couple of weeks but I already miss the busy city! If anyone has any questions about visiting the city feel free to leave a comment or email me. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

So it turns out that after spending a hefty sum of money on a bike, I would have to pay for the required accessories I needed down the road. Required meaning I should get them now rather than later. Too bad I didn’t listen because after riding for a week I got a flat tire on my bike. Read more after the jump.

So I finally found some spare time to sit down and blog about my trip to NYC, overall a great trip and an eye opener. Living in a small city like Edmonton really makes me feel like I’m missing out on a lot of experiences that bigger cities offer.

New York City is almost overwhelmingly busy, full of city natives and just as many tourists. Much like the people living in the city every building, restaurant and neighborhood is unique in their own little way. Seeing so many people focused on making a buck is inspiring.

I’ll let the pictures do the talking now, I feel as if I had hardly scratched the surface during my trip but I loved every second of it.

After owning my previous bike for 2 weeks, I quickly discovered how annoying it was own an entry-level bike. On the Specialized bike, to shift up you have to press a lever near the top of the brake handles. This was all good until I discovered that it was impossible to press this lever while [...]

I’ll be heading to New York today for a week-long vacation, it will be my first time going to the states for a vacation and I’m really pumped to see the big apple. Since I’ll be in New York I won’t be able to ship out any orders from August 2nd to August 9th. If you have any tips or suggestions for things to do let me know below!

It’s been awhile since I made my last personal post but a lot has been happening in my life. Recently I’ve been dealing with a ton of stress, a combination of client work, my part time job and Import Bible, left me with very little time for myself. Not to mention I started to develop a nasty strain on my wrist that made everything that much worse. The biggest source of my stress is the impending strike that is happening at CanadaPost. CanadaPost handles all of my shipments and unfortunately the only shipping provider that can provide the prices I need for small packages. More after the jump.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good camera bag for awhile now and I think I’ve found the perfect one. It wasn’t easy finding the perfect bag, my main requirements was that it didn’t look like a camera bag, can hold my laptop, camera and an extra lens. Pretty tough criteria since 90% of the bags I looked at didn’t even meet the first and second point.

With every year you can always expect another Edmonton Motorshow, a car show where the dealerships bring their new cars to impress potential customers. For the most part the cars are things you would normally see on the road with an exception of a few high end cars. I didn’t really care for many of the vehicles except for the Lexus LF-A.
