Have you heard of Metis singer/songwriter Holly McNarland before? Her music just came across my path and I thought it was pretty cool, so I wanted to share her music and an upcoming contest where you can win stuffs! Holly had a turbulent childhood. Her mother was a Metis singer in a country band. Her father was a cowboy who played in the band. The marriage disintegrated when Holly was two and she was only reconnected with her father a year ago.

The commercial that I did the voice over work for details the service and how it can be a help to those Aboriginal peoples new to Edmonton, and how … Continued

If you live in Toronto, have an iPhone or Android, and take a taxi you *need* to know about Uber. This company is essentially a luxury taxi service, but better. You can download an app to your phone, set up an account and order a car right from the app. ELIMINATE A PHONE CALL. Awesome.

If you are super anal-retentive you can watch the car … Continued
