Today I was down at the Polar Plunge here in Yellowknife and as I was waiting for the event to start I was watching everyone else. I know, I’m slightly creepy. What I saw was, an unusual number of people with SLR Camera. I suppose they have become more popular over the last couple years, but that lead me to my next question. Where do all these photos go. I assumed that many people were taking pictures of Family and Friends taking the plunge, but I would be willing to bet that half those people with cameras were just taking picture for themselves.
I have often wondered what these people do with there photos. I have a specific use for them, YkOnline. Do they take these photos and then try and sell them? Are they just taking photos becuase it is something they enjoy doing? I needs to know, because to me, that a little more creepy… you know what I mean….
I live on Twitter for the most part and because of that found that I don’t come over here very often anymore. For some reason I felt that I would need to write a huge blog post here in order for it to be “worth” of actually being here. Most things I say on Twitter so why bother here.
Then it occurred to me, this is mine. This is my site, I can write what ever the hell I wont.
I’m not going to try and update this site more often, with shorter posts, but longer than 140 Charactors. Join me for the ride.

One of my goals for YkOnline.ca is to profile Yellowknife’s Food Scene. I love food, you have no idea how much I love food. Good food, that is properly repaired, that not only looks amazing but tastes amazing. I’m at the point where I will try anything, anything. My latest kick is mushrooms, sauteed mushrooms to be exact. I could just sit and eat them by themselves. So with my obvious passion of food and even more obvious passion for writing about anything Yellowknife, I want to try and profile our Yellowknife’s Local Eateries.
That being said, I’m not going to review them like a food critic would. I was careful to say “Profile” as I’m not in the business of handing out negative comments. That is not to say I wouldn’t include tips on things that could be improved or something that wasn’t right for me, but the overall feel and appeal of each profile would be positive.
Here is a list of restaurants I would like to profile over the next couple months:
- Fuego’s International Cuisine
- The Trader Grill
- Latitudes
- Le Frolic
- Le Hertiage
- Bullocks Bistro
- The Wildcat Cafe (when it opens)
- Coyotes Bar & Grill
- Diamante
I’m sure I have forgotten some, so please comment them below. Have any suggestions, let me know.
If you are interesting in joining me on this adventure to profile Yellowknife’s restaurants, just give me a holler.
Here are more photos from while I stayed in downtown Honolulu. It was an amazing view from my 9th floor balcony, the beach, a busy street and an endless ocean. Just up the street were many buildings from that were built when Hawaii was still young. A day or two later I went up the Aloha Tower, which was nee to see the city behind us and the ocean in front of us.

I was asked on Twitter to update everyone with some photos of my trip in Hawaii. Currently where I am staying does not have the greatest Internet therefore I have not been doing much online. Anyways lets start a week ago and we’ll try to catch up. The following few photos are from the Apple store in Waikiki where I waited in line for an iPad the day of the launch. That was a neat experience. If you want to see all the photos go to my Flickr Page.
This was meant for Facebook but ended up to long. Please share your thoughts.
What is everyone thoughts on Flash? I’ve disliked full Flash websites since day one, but some design companies keep making them.
The iPhone has never supported flash but because of it small screen it wasn’t really an issue, but now with the iPad and its ability to show full webpages it seems that Apple really is pushing for HTML5.
Flash is good for somethings like advertisements and online video, but do you think we should move away from it? When you think about it, it does seem odd that you have to have flash downloaded in order to make certain function work, should websites be fully compatible with a standard web browser?
