Thanks to those who voted! I ended up 6th, just missing the finalist round. :( Unfortunately with these kinds of contests, it's ALL about getting votes regardless of the quality or brand relevance of the entries until the final judging round. I missed the top five by a very narrow margin. I...

Less than 12 hours to go in the Mazda Canada "Defy Convention" contest. You know what you need to do... Click: http://on.fb.me/HvXQCc "Like" the Mazda Canada page Click "<3 VOTE FOR THIS" on Darren W.'s video Thanks!

Thanks, EvilJen! Much appreciated. :)

Thanks! Every little bit helps! The gloves are comin' off!

Alrighty, folks! It's Friday! And what's better than it being Friday? There's just two days left for me to bug you for votes in the Mazda Canada "Defy Convention" contest! I've dropped to 7th place! Time to kick it into high gear, put the pedal to the metal, burn rubber... have i missed any...

Just four days to go! Please vote if you haven't already. I'm looking forward to not obsessing over this! (As i'm sure all of you are, as well!) :D

Just to illustrate how fierce the competition is in the Mazda Canada "Defy Convention" contest, on Friday i was ranked 3rd by votes, and today i'm ranked 6th! There are some excellent entries and some compelling stories. I like this one, but i'm biased: http://on.fb.me/HvXQCc I could really...

It's a beautiful sunny weekend! Why not defy convention and stay inside to watch my video and vote for it? :D http://on.fb.me/HvXQCc

Looks like i've got some good momentum going... let's keep it up! Just 11 more days!

Heheh... thanks, Jen! :D

:bump: Less than 2 weeks to go, and i'm still at #6 in the voting. I could sure use some help to get into (and stay in) the top 5. Thanks, folks! http://on.fb.me/HvXQCc

I really like the blue Mazda has in their lineup right now, so i'm building a guitar to be painted Sky Blue Mica. :) (I really love blue guitars.) Competition is fierce in the contest, and it's still a battle for the top 5 positions. If you could head on over and cast a vote for my entry...

Heheh... i'm not quite a hippie, but try to do my little bit for the planet. I've run a few tanks of biodiesel in the smart, but the two stations in our region that pump bio are a bit out of the way, so i just run either Shell or Sunoco premium diesel. It's a lot of fun to drive, believe it or...

:bump: Just a little over two weeks left in the contest, and i could really use a few more votes to solidify my position. Mucho appreciated! :D http://mazda.thismoment.com/v4/api/facebook/get_facebook_share_page.json?fbwall_video_sharing=0&content_id=1158&tab_id=57&page_id=5

Actually, a couple of little eyes under the "M" swoop, and it'd be almost there! :D

Here's a little more background on how i got into building guitars... When i first started playing guitar, i got into it as many teenage boys do, reading guitar magazines, keeping up to date on my favourite bands and guitarists, learning whatever i could. It didn't take me long to realize that...

The smart we bought when we moved out to the suburbs. We only had the one car at the time (a 2000 VW Golf) and i needed to get to the train station, so we wanted something small and efficient. I ended up driving it WAY more than we anticipated, and i've put over 140,000 km on it in six years. :)...

And just for fun, i thought you guys would like to see what the CX-5 will be replacing if i win... Two seats. Rear engine. Rear drive. Turbocharged engine. Six-speed transmission with paddle shifters. A raging 43 horsepower and 75 lb-ft. of torque from its three cylinder engine. I bring you...

Wow, i think that's the first one i've seen in black. Looks really sharp!

I had some time last Friday, so i went to a couple of local Mazda dealerships and took the CX-5 out for a spin. Shipments of the CX-5 are just starting to trickle in from Japan (the only place they're manufactured), so supply is limited and demand is high, since this is quite possibly Mazda's...
