Well… this is it. Today is my final day at 660 News. When I sign off at 9:00am… it will end 5-years at Calgary’s only all-news radio station. Next stop… Citytv… co-hosting on Breakfast Television with Tara Slone. We’ve been shooting a bunch of video promos and still photographs… so I already feel part of [...]

Mixed emotions for me right now… because it’s my last week on 660 News. After 5-years… I’m going back to the future so to speak (on many levels). I’m going back to television… where I started my career in broadcasting. And I’m going back to Citytv… the television station I worked for before coming to [...]

The new Midway food for the 2011 Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is now on sale… and the number-1 “must try” for me is Mac and Cheese Pizza. Mac and Cheese = good. Pizza = good. So why not add a little ketchup and combine the two! The next thing I’ll spend money on is [...]

Well… nothing I guess… except blog about it! A memo went up at 660 News this week… warning staff about dive bombing crows. I didn’t think twice about it. Until… Mookie on Lite 95.9 (our sister radio station) said HE was attacked!! This I HAD to see for myself. SO… I went outside… to snap [...]

Talk about the ultimate sunroof… Airbus is out this morning with a bunch of new images of what the airplane manufacturer predicts could be the future of flying. What will we see… 40-years from now? Well… just about everything! Check out the view as you cruise between cities. Here’s what it looks like at night. [...]

That very cool picture is from NASA. The image was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The flare is in the bottom right quadrant. All of the solar radiation that bubbled-up from deep within the Sun… is now on it’s way to Earth. Bad news for satellites… good news for people who like watching the [...]

After spending the winter in Argentina… a pair of Swainson Hawks are nesting again near the 660 News newsroom. I asked staff at 660 News to let me know if they spotted our flying friends… and voila! These pictures were snapped by my Morning Show co-host Cindy White. She braved some dive-bombs to snap the [...]

NASA is out with something cool. The space agency has released spectacular digital images of outter space. The images are from the WISE project (as in the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer project). These are actual images that you could see in the night sky (if you had access to a super-powerful telescope) In case you [...]

ABV… Anyone but Vancouver. That’s who I’m cheering for in the NHL Playoffs. Who cares if Vancouver is Canada’s last team in the running. Why ABV? Why no Vancouver? It’s personal. I have friends in Vancouver who text me EVERY time the Canucks score (and I must admit I’ve received a lot of texts this [...]

McDonald’s actually let me work in their restaurant this week! It was for McHappy Day… and thanks to all of the 660 News listeners who stopped by. Cindy and I were at the McDonald’s on the corner of 26th Street and 32nd Avenue NE (very close to the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel along Barlow Trail). No [...]
