Geoff from geoffmobile.com asks the question: How do you stay motivated to do creative projects outside of work, if your work sometimes leaves you tired after working really hard for a day, week, or even a year!

Geoff’s suggestions:
-Get good sleep, catch up on sleep on the weekends
-Do exercise to energize yourself
-Eat healthy, nutritious foods. I like eating lots of vegetables (salads) as well as fruit juices (I’m an orange juice fiend!), carbs, and some proteins. Avoid fatty foods or too much salt or sugars.

Thanks for watching!

Cheers,
Geoff

Shown in video:

-street scenes from Delta and Surrey BC Canada (Including Future Shop, IHOP, London Drugs, and Cineplex Odeon. We also go past the site of a bad fire where a building was destroyed).

-the interior of Mehfil India restaurant in Surrey.
-the hot buffet table (the cold items are at a different table).
-Geoff’s first plate of selections from the buffet – yum!!
-Some other buffet selections ( we were very hungry, and the food at Mehfil was delicious and very satisfying!).

Price is reasonable as well. Mehfil buffet is Great for a visit after working out, running, or cycling. It’s one of our favorite places for filling and delicious food in North Delta / Surrey area.

Thanks for watching!

Geoff Peters from geoffmobile.com discusses the concept of Alphabetical Order and whether it is still a valuable way of organizing information in the current information age.

Geoff also discusses a viewpoint of Alphabetical Order as a simple, easy to understand way to organize information, and how it (and other systems of organizing information) can be used as a marketing tool or advantage over one’s competitors.

Geoff from geoffmobile.com discusses how life experience is changed when using cameras.

Filmed with a Canon EOS T2i and a Canon 18-200mm IS lens.

Your host “Vampire Geoff” reports on:

-How to become a better public speaker, through Toastmasters International toastmasters.org

-How to be successful on the Internet – it rewards “Relentless Generosity” to make the world a better place. This is continuously and selflessly giving your energy towards helping others on a worldwide scale, whether it is through making music that people enjoy, blogging, helping the environment, raising awareness, supporting the less advantaged and marginalized, collecting and producing insightful and powerful ideas, etc…

An example is environmentalist David Suzuki davidsuzuki.org

Seth Godin interview:

The vampire effect in this video was the result of using the Portrait picture style on my Canon T2i camera. I suggest using the Canon Portrait picture style on female subjects if you want to make the skin tones pale and bring out the luscious red lips! Doesn’t work so well on very white gentlemen such as myself.

I rode a double-decker tour bus through Shanghai China and enjoyed taking in the sights and sounds. Here is a short video clip of some of the street scenes from my trip. When I got home, I recorded a voice-over on top of this video.

Thanks again to my colleagues for being so generous with their time and showing me around Shanghai!

Cheers,
Geoff

Here is my video review of the Graduate, a play by the Arts Club Theatre Company being shown at the Granville Island Stage, April 14th to May 14th 2011.

Based on the story in the classic 1967 film The Graduate and the 1963 novel by Charles Webb. This is a wonderful piece of theatre that really showcases the amazing talents for the arts and the stage that Vancouver has to offer. I highly recommend seeing it.

Directed by Lois Anderson, starring Camille Mitchell and Kayvon Khoshkam.

I presented a thought of the day at my Toastmasters public speaking club.

The thought comes from one of my favorite thinkers of our time, Clay Shirky, who writes “Institutions will try to preserve the problems to which they are the solution.”
