Yesterday, I finished a project for Geek Girl, Inc. A simple website built on WordPress.org: mysweetgeek.com. I had no idea how much fun it was to play with WordPress. It is a great CMS, super easy to use for clients who want to be able to maintain their websites. I created her own WordPress private [...]

A little late since it is from March… Cara and I went to France. I took her to Praz de Lys, that alpine city I would visit every February growing up. One of my favorite place on earth. This is a fun video of Cara sledding while I was filming.

We also use eco-friendly cleaners. We offer shirts for women and men although more shirts are available for women. For now there are only 6 designs but [...]

A solar bag I wanted to finish on Feb 13th for my girlfriend‘s birthday. I finally finished it about a month ago, based on the following how-to, found on her blog. The how-to was for the electronic part so it was fun to build a bag to support this solar system. This bag is not [...]

My father had told me about him now only playing with biodegradable tees. Having stopped golfing for a couple of years, I really was far away in regards to new technology or the eco world and golf. I bought him a box for Christmas, and bought one for myself recently. I have always been a [...]

This post follows a previous post I Want a Solar Watch. After some disappointing research, I had promised I would come back with more… so here we go. In the beginning, I wanted a good looking fierce watch that runs on solar power. After having seen what is being proposed to me, I now have [...]

A year ago, Cara had asked me to build a crazy website to display her photography. I finally recently put myself to it, one of my 2008 resolutions. Well she made it one of my 2008 projects :) Her expectations were high and I had a lot of work ahead. Finally, after 512 reviews (!!) [...]

Ok so last week, I decided I want a solar watch. Since then, I have been dreaming about it. I want a modern, slick, minimalist and uncommon watch, powered by sunlight. You would think… well I was thinking it was going to be easy to find the product of my dreams. First of all, how [...]
