Formula is a catalogue of interesting stories of the people, places, and things that surround us.
Once a year, every Oscars weekend, I find my biggest strengths in me to remember what my dreams were when I graduated, got the diplomas, and what I had my heart sent out to do. Tonight, as I was watching Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick honor John Hughes, my era of growing up – I remembered how John Hughes entertained with his strong characters living an ordinary life to bring entertainment to his audience.
Today, I will be hitting the links and in honour of this and the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony, I thought I would showcase my all time favourite golf movie, Caddyshack and the official Caddyshack putter.
The biggest Sunday of the year for Hollywood comes this weekend! Tinseltown is ready, the red carpet is laid out, celebrity sight-see’ers are lining up to get a glimpse of the stars, and the giant Oscar statues align Hollywood Blvd. Everyone is waiting to hear the first, “and the Oscar goes to…”

Don’t you love when you get surprised with something when you least expect it? That’s what happened to us today! From someone whom we’ve only spoken through @twitter – What social networking has done for all of us!
One of the elements I noticed at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was the amount of design thought carried out. Leo Obstbaum, the mastermind behind all of it, made the Winter games very symbolic and meaningful in his designs.
As opposed to the cheap, lightweight, metal and plastic lawn chairs that we are all familiar with, Rachel Griffin has designed a chair that is made of the lawn. A public installation made of lawn clippings stuffed in a biodegradable bag, she calls it Lawn Chair.
Waking up this morning at 6 AM to the sirens blaring louder then my Iphone alarm on a Saturday morning was not fun! I immediately rolled out of bed to turn on the TV to find Joe Moore still on.. something was wrong if he pulled an all nighter!
A cool little magazine that I came across by a woman named Carrie. Assassin and the Whiner 15 is what it’s called and it looks more like a comic than a magazine. I have not read the 14 issues prior to this but the first page of #15 makes clear the importance of this issue to it’s author.
I’m a big believer in dreams, meaning dreams that (when awake) people fantasize something they want. I’m also am a big believer in dreaming big. I mean what’s the point of dreaming if you have to put limitations against your dreams. In this case, my post is slightly different. It’s looking at a dream from the inside out.
It’s never too early to plan ahead. April is Architecture Month in Hawaii!

While still in Canada, I once again found myself floating on an island in the Pacific Ocean. However, this time the travel was a 30 minute bus ride from downtown Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay and a 2 hour ferry ride from there. My destination was Nanaimo on Vancouver Island to visit a good friend.
Looking at nature at its most peaceful is when you can appreciate it the most. Whether you are sitting on an empty beach and watching the waves roll in, looking at the bare trees in the Winter’s day, or watching snow fall and cover the ground – The beauty of nature is sometimes what can bring us to another level in life.
Today I visited the site of the Olympic cauldron. It’s has an unbelievable presence but there’s one problem – the public can’t get anywhere near it. Access to the cauldron from every direction has been restricted due to ‘security concerns’. The worst part is that the fence separating the cauldron from the public is poorly constructed chain link.
