Go Daddy Go
Riding e-bikes with a fellow dad, our kids on the back wanted us to go FASTER! It was a friendly race. They started chanting "Go Daddy Go, Go Daddy Go, ..." to egg us on, with the endless repetition spirit of youth. The bike adventure days continued to happen (to the north shore, to kits beach, to downtown! e-bikes are amazing), and the song chant continued to return to delight us all. So we shaped it into a proper kids song, with some vocal support from enchantress Nat Wiarda, and it's finally available on all the music platforms today. Please share with your dad, family and friends if you like it 🙏 Go Daddy Go!

I Love Me
Last year I took a great workshop on self-love. With all the influences and distractions of modern life, it can be difficult to focus on ourselves. That said, we always have the power to return to our centers, take a breath, and give ourselves the love we need. I was very touched by the workshop, and have made good use of the practice. Last year I made "I ❤️ Me" stickers and gave them out at a few festivals. This year I wrote a kids song with the same message, and it's now out on Spotify (and the other music platforms very shortly). I hope you like it. If so, please heart it, and share with a kid you love :) Listen to I Love ME on spotify.

It's been an interesting few years
3 years ago I took on a new identity, as a father! Along with a global pandemic, it's been an interesting run to say the least. In the original Improv spirit of this website, I started making silly educational videos for kids I've also started writing a weekly activity newsletter awesome dad and kid activities in it. It's been a looooong time since there were any new posts on this website. I'm kicking the tires here I guess to see if it still works (haha, there were a bunch of bugs I had to fix to get this post out).

Blogging in a new era ok
I haven't posted a blog here in quite some time. As the internet marched forward, most of my online activities have spread out to other sites. I mostly share links and thoughts via Facebook these days. You can follow me there. I post many things as public, in addition to the new friends-only posts I make. FB has also become the place where I post most of my photos. However, I still maintain a flickr account where I post more artsy photos. I just transitioned the server this website is being hosted on to a new one. So I thought I would throw this post up here as a marker for that. Hope you're well :)

Twisted Stairways
Singapore has a lot of really interesting architectural bits, both classic and modern.

Singapore Skyline
Singapore Skyline from across the Marina Bay. Singapore wasn't as clean or orderly as the hype had led me to believe. It probably helped that I was staying in Little India quarter: full of color, sound, and people. I recommend it thoroughly.

Gili Trawangan Sunset
Sunset on the island of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. This photo of mine was awarded 2nd place in a photo contest organized by the North Saskatchewan Riverkeeper Program. Yay clean water! I recently returned to Vancouver after 8 months of travelling in California and Southeast Asia. I've gone through almost all of my photos from the trip. I've added my favorites to the Vorg photo pool on Flickr, so take a look! (Flickr even has a new snazzy photo-pool display now)
