Hey Toronaaaah!  Check out my first video blog above…It’s no “Gone With the Wind” but like fine wine, it will get better in time!

I’ve been working hard these past 6 months blogging about Toronto and sharing my experiences with it’s readers. But now I’ve decided to take it to…a whole…nother…level!

With the death of my last Blackberry (8800), it was time for an upgrade.  My phone of choice is the new BlackBerry Curve 8900 aka “the javelin” aka “amazing”.  My favorite feature of the phone is it’s 3.2 mega-pixel camera.  I’ve been having a blast snapping shots of everything that catches my eye,  Which brings me to the point of this post:

Effective immediately, readers can now see what I see throughout the day. With the power of Flicr and the photo taking abilities of my BlackBerry, I can instantly upload pictures to the blog. I’m working on incorporating a Flickr badge into the blog as well. For the time being you can check out my shots by clicking the Flickr logo on my sidebar

A must have for all tech-ie’s!!

Please excuse the long title, but it truly is necessary for this one. For those who’ve never heard of Gansevoort before; here’s a brief synopsis:

“It has been less than five years since the first Gansevoort hotel helped breathe life into the now ultra-fashionable meatpacking district of Manhattan, and in that time the brand has pushed to cement itself among the top names of the luxury development world. Last March, a second Gansevoort project, its first with residences, opened in South Beach in Miami, and another hotel in New York is planned to open in fall 2010 on Park Avenue South.”
