Big fat snowflakes in the city today!, originally uploaded by Adrian J.K. Shum, CGD.

On 8 December 2011, Apple released their App Store Rewind 2011 and declared Instagram as the iPhone app of the year. Following that, the Crave blog on CNET put out a call to all Instagram users to submit their favourite Instagram pictures, with the editors top picks to be published to an online gallery.

Well, I'm very pleased to say that my Instagram photo of snowflakes from 4 December 2011 was selected! Check it out amongst the other selected submissions on CNET/Crave blog.

Cheers!

In Support of Movember 2011...

I've decided to participate in this year's Movember movement in support of prostate cancer initiatives... it's gonna be interesting.

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer.

On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

You can support my Mo-growing efforts by donating to the cause: http://mobro.co/AdrianShum - thanks for your support!!!

Recommended Viewing: 2011 Driven Show...

2011 Driven Show, a set on Flickr.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the 2011 Driven Show - the Aftermarket Car Event of the Year. For all you car enthusiasts out there, you should definitely check out this photo set that I uploaded to Flickr.

Sadly, this was a one day event in Winnipeg, so unfortunately you've missed out on the opportunity to see it in person. Hopefully, you'll get the chance to see it next year! I highly recommend it if you're a fan of cars, import models, tuners, body/engine kits.
