I met Ford back in the summer when I test drove their new Focus for a day, the one that…. parks itself. No really, watch:

Then back in July my car broke down on the highway out of town. I’d tweeted as much from the side of the road, and Ford messaged me back they were sending me a car to Kingston so I could get home safe.

They sent me this Lincoln, which is their higher end line of cars. It’s an MDX and people on the street tell you you’re “ballin” when you cruise around.

And since then we’ve been pals, and just yesterday returned to them their 2012 Focus.

Really glad to be here Ford, thanks eh :)

Here is your clue:

Think like me, there’s more than enough information here to reveal its location, think like a spy…

I’ll update this by the day’s end to reveal how and where, good luck!!

(I’m driving a Jetta GLI )

UPDATE:

I gave you the art’s location through…. EXIF data – the information that comes attached to a photo when you have your GPS turned on and take a photo.

Click here to see where I uploaded the photo to Google, look on the right, there’s a map pinpointing where the photo was taken.

Here’s a closer look at geo-location data that came from the photo:

I leave my turned off, always, and suggest you do too before posting a photo online.

Smarten Up, Internet.

Thanks for the wheels, Chevrolet!

It’s their just-released Sonic – their hyrid car. Which has much more pep and pickup than you’d expect.

And Chevy knows me well, they gave me a manual car YA buddy, it’s great to be shifting again and making the engine rawwwwar out of the corners.

Here’s the interior.

Nice and simple, not too many bells and whistles, which I don’t like and think are superfluous.

When I buy my new car I’ll be saying no thanks to things like backing-up cameras and GPS. I can back up just fine with my eyes, and I don’t wish to be tracked.

I was at Chevrolet’s event in Dundas Square last week, they launched three new cars day… the Sonic, Orlando and their electric car, the Volt.

It was also a big day in internet history too, they streamed live all day to the homepage of YouTube, and for a minute I was on it, neat eh! Casie and I were interviewed about driving the the Volt. Unfortunately neither of us have footage of it, lesigh.

My Acura TSX has been performing great, it’s has a hidden speed and zip, very me.

Of course I took it to Cherry Beach, you know I love that place.

Watch this guy front flip over an Acura.

Also.

I went to a Lomography party at the Queen Street store.

Lomography is a world-wide big trend happening right now… it’s analogue film photography. Think like in olden times… film, developing the film, view finders….

I really like the “one take one chance” aspect, I built the Canadian Explorer around that premise, but I don’t know about the developing the film part, and remember my rant?  About HD and Tape Editing It really picks up there at the end.

The cold is coming.

Man my hair looks great Brennen, I think this is your best one yet.

I need to clean my stove.

1. my fanciest USB key, a Swarovski lock. See it in the sidebar on my other blog (soon)
2. that’s what we’re going to solder when we go learn how to solder next week for Keri On Security
3. my toothbrush/lipgloss everyday purse bag. It’s NellaBella, you’d like their stuff, made here in Toronto
4. see that larger here
5. a Pentium I wear as a pendant
6. tiniest Big Mac ever
7. my camera, an Olympus Stylus Tough - you can stand on it, it’s waterproof, 12 Mpx

Outfits from this week.

Outfit from Suzy photoshoot last weekend, which I can’t wait to show you, which I’m still not allowed to, sometime in October she said.

Here’s to a great Monday and start to your week! TTYS xo

I picked it up yesterday, hi from Honda HQ in Markham. Don’t we match well?  YA buddy.

We drove out, that’s Alen, Reggie and Mark and me. It was Reggie’s birthday, neat eh.

There we met our new friend, security guard Joe, hi pal! Welcome to my blog.

It’s an Acura TSX Performance Sedan. It’s good and unassuming, with great pick up.

Picked up bff Casie and we flew around downtown to the Four Seasons and back.

It’s gonna be a great week, thanks again Acura.

Spent the long weekend in Kingston, Ontario, visiting friends, a photoshoot with Suzy (I’m not allowed to show you anything yet) and celebrating a 60th birthday.

If you would like to get away for a weekend, come here.  There’s 1000 Islands, 1000 things to do, and Kingstonians are known as party-ers.

Let’s start with these four places:

1 – Go there for a beer – The Toucan

2 – Buy your books there – Wayfarer Books (smells so good)

3 – Pan Chancho - get a coffee and chocolate croissant

4 – I never go here, it’s for hippies, but green arrow: she’s _still_ there :O

Or, you could go see me on the walls of here.

My favourite ever army suprlus store is here – Smith Army Surplus.  If you’re lucky Kyle will be working, say hi.

I cruise through, sift through the patches, talk shop and swap lies.

You can shoot in Kingston, too.  Well I can, you might have a bit harder time.

This was S&R - Canada’s oldest (50+) independently owned department store.

It closed two summers ago, which I went around for weeks proclaiming sad and wrong.

I wish I had video of inside here; places like this don’t exist anymore.  I heard some mid-level-restaurant-franchise is going in.  Golf claps.

70% of all Kingstonians own something from here, maybe one of those glass balls, likely received as a gift.

I’m being dramatic, but not really.

Where you should be buying gifts from is Dwell Boutique, which I should have taken a photo of.

It’s a great place for Morning Drive.

YA BUDDY!  THE STUDIO LIVES!

Thanks Claus! <3

He also gave me silver dollar.  I put it on my fridge.

I left it there though, my car.  It’s no longer fit for the highway, not even I’m that wacked.  So kinda cool eh….

Me – “Pardon me?  Oh yes yes, I do keep a car in Kingston” :|

Ha.

This place below is my personal real estate brokering deal dream… it’s the old Psyc Ward down on the water.

Executed correctly, it could be one of the premiere mini-areas in Southern Ontario.

Kingston is a good-sized city that you’ll be leaning on a wall texting, someone strolls by you know, now you’re on a patio making jokes.

The streetlights are an inside joke.

Kingston is filled with buildings like this, Canada’s very first bank.

The arrow is pointing to my old apartment. I was the last person to live in it before the City took it over.

There was a restaurant on the main floor, who’d pass me ahi tuna on my way up the stairs, which I’d eat on the fire-escape (they removed it), from which I may have once thrown handfuls of mini-bouncy-balls from, to see what would happen (fun happens).

Go to Kingston, you’ll love it!

Thursday night I’d had it, that familiar feeling of GAH.

So Friday I packed a bag, walked down to the closet car rental spot (I’m still without wheels) and said, hi one car please.

Ended up with a Jeep. Won’t be buying a Jeep.

If you need a car though, go here and see Bedi, he’s awesome. It was his last vehicle, which he scrambled to get me, because as he said, “I want you to be able to walk down like this and know you’ll get a car”.

I got in and drove it all over.

I took tons of photos, here’s one.

That’s it for now, because I invented a Keri On Security episode using them, so I’ll post them in a couple weeks.

Great city to return home to.

I decompressed using:

My Summer’11 routine…I walk down to the water, see the yellow arrow? I tuck in behind there (you can’t see me from the path), and I make a sushi picnic.

Walked home and settled back into my plotting.

I’ll explain more via video next week what you’re looking at, basically it’s my masterplan for my two shows, and I was deeeep into it.

So I’m flipping between excitedly Sharpie-ing up calendars and spreadsheets, to very still, deep, concentration.

Hand over mouth always.

Like my nomenclature?  Haha, I kill me sometimes.

And that’s how I didn’t notice the extreme storm coming in through my balcony door.

It’s almost okay today. That thing is oooold, a decade anyway. It’s the first ever Chameleon couch with wheels. They sell them with that option now, and that was allll me.

Can’t wait to start sharing my ideas with you, this security show of mine, oh man, wait till you see. Haven’t been this excited in a while.
