    With two weeks to go until we kick off TechDays in Toronto, the team is doing the final preparations to deliver an amazing experience to everyone who attends.

    Finding my photos on the web

    I’m pretty open about people using the photos I post to flickr as I have them under a Creative Commons license.  I always enjoy seeing where they land. 

    The most recent one is a Paul Tracy photo that I took  with my Nikon D200 in Toronto on July 6, 2007.  The photo is included in [...]

    Sears National Kids Cancer Ride

    One of the things I love about working for Microsoft (and I think I have mentioned before) is the fact that I get to take days off to volunteer my time in the community.  Today was one of those days.

    Today I spent the day volunteering with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride (SNKCR) during their [...]

    [cross post] Walking for a cure

    One of the great perks of working at Microsoft Canada is the ability to take paid days off to volunteer in the community.  For the past four years I have been actively involved with the Weekend to End Breast Cancer (http://www.endcancer.ca) events all across Canada.  This year, due to family circumstances, I was not able [...]

    Day 1 at the Toronto Grand Prix

    [Originally posted to http://on10.net/Blogs/bjeans/day-1-at-the-toronto-grand-prix/]

    Every year I spend a few days down by the lake to enjoy the Champ Car and support series races.  Every year they seem to tweak the name in some way – so this year it is the "Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto".  For the last couple of years I have had media credentials which [...]

    [Cross Post] Microsoft Vista: What’s in it for Photographers?

    [Cross posted to http://on10.net/Blogs/bjeans/windows-vista-whats-in-it-for-photographers/]

    I just came across the following article on PopPhoto.com that talks about some of the features in Vista that are most relevant for Photographers. 

    Without reprinting the entire article they outline 4 key areas:

    Windows Photo Gallery
    RAW support
    Media Center
    Forward-Looking Approach

    If you are a photographer and wondering about Vista, I encourage you to read the article [...]

    Arnold Schwarzenegger at MaRS in Toronto

    I'm down here at MaRS in downtown Toronto with Mark Relph and couple of other Microsoft folks for the MESH Conference.  However, that isn't the focus of this post. 

    As you may know, Arnold Schwarzenegger is in town meeting with Dalton McGuinty and they made a quick stop at MaRS for some presentations.  I managed [...]
