Depict Magazine
Good news! My Yes, Let's! sheets were featured in the January issue of Depict, a new, infographic-based magazine in Toronto. I created these productivity and task management sheets back in 2012 to make less desirable tasks (meal planning, working out, saving money, and weekly chores) more fun.
Remember, you can download your FREE copies of my sheets here!

Rob Ford. A few months ago, this name did not mean much to the international community. But after Gawker got a hold of a fake real video of Toronto's mayor allegedly smoking crack cocaine, this name is now a household name around the world. And as the criminal allegations continue to stack up (drunk driving, physical abuse, prostitutes... et al.), Mayor Rob Ford is starting to make Toronto – and Canada – look like a joke.
I took it upon myself to come up with a creative solution for Torontonians and Canadians to reclaim our tarnished reputation. My objective was to address the problem, offer a playful visual solution, and provide a creative and shareable component to the growing anti-Ford movement. Below are the results.

C'mon, Canada! Tell your friends, Toronto! Please spread the world on all your social networks.
Let the world know that one bad mayor doesn't spoil the bunch.
Have a great weekend!

The Official Gay Card 2012
It's back!
In honour of pride month — and to kick off Pride Week in Toronto — put your hands up for the Official Gay Card, Pride 2012 Edition!
A quick recap:
- on June 1, 2011, I launched The Official Gay Card, an playful online quiz that puts your gayness to the test, and rewards you with your proverbial "Gay Card" that you can stow and share in gay-mergencies. (You can also have your Gay Card revoked by a fellow Gay Cardholder if you commit 3 gay sins…)
- the web traffic grew over the course of 3 weeks, and then went viral after a blog post by Dan Savage on the Slog and a mention on Towleroad by Andy Towle (thanks again guys!)
- one month after launch, the site had received almost 70,000 page views from 137 countries (with nearly 23,000 hits on June 21 alone!), 2450 PDF downloads and 1575 iPhone downloads.
After the amazing reception, I decided to revamp the quiz and the card. There were two main changes I wanted to make:
- Dan Savage aptly suggested that "there should be more than one way to earn your gay card" — and I couldn't agree more. So now there is! The quiz questions have expanded from Yes/No answers to multiple choice — and the the answers you choose not only determine if you are gay, but what type of gay you are on the spectrum.
- A few lesbian ladies emailed me and asked, "What about us? I can haz lesbian card?" Now they can! The quiz is now loaded with a full set of lezbodacious questions, and an Official Lez Card (with its own set of "Woman-dments") for the ladies who love ladies.
Additionally, with last summer's site traffic, I saw an opportunity to use the Gay Card powers for good. So now, when you claim your card, there are easy links to donate to three exceptional LGBT charities:
- It Gets Better — the online project created by Dan Savage and his partner Terry Miller to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach if they can just get through their teen years.
- Camp fYrefly — Canada's only national leadership retreat for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified, two-spirited, intersexed, queer, questioning, and allied youth.
- Youth Line — an Ontario-wide peer-support online forum and toll-free phone line for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, 2-spirited, queer and questioning youth.
And that's it! Pride it a time to reflect on our history, support our community, and celebrate diversity. So let's get this party started! Whether you're a lez, gay, bear, cub, otter, wolf, lion, bull, pup, gorilla, leatherman, chub, chaser, jock, musclehead, hipster, alterna-queer, pomo, gay-lister, diva, queen, princess, twink, twunk, fairy, Mary, Nancy, nelly, club kid, circuit boy, pretty boy, gay-sian, yester-gay, fruit, size queen, drama queen, drag queen, drag king, femme, butch, fetch, gold star lesbian, lone star lesbian, lipstick lesbian, chapstick lesbian, hasbian, tomboy, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, pansexual, assexual, intersex, queer, questioning, 2-spirited, or an ally, you are family.
Take the quiz. Get the card. Spread the love. And always, be proud.
Thanks! Happy Pride!

Yes, Let's! Sheets
Happy Monday and happy April!
If you love making lists like me, then you'll love my new and improved Yes, Let's! Sheets. And what better time to make a list than the beginning of a new month!
An idea that has grown from the original "Let's Get Sh*t Done Sheet", each page is designed to make those less-than-desirable tasks (meal planning, working out, saving money, and weekly chores) a bit easier to tackle.
Click here to download the full set of sheets (3.4MB pdf), or pick and choose from the individual sheets by clicking below.
Remember: a failure to plan is a plan to fail. :)
Please print, use, share and enjoy!
-Christopher

The trouble with doppelgängers
...is they mess up your Google Alerts. Pictured above is Chris Rouleau, also known as Blaze Ya Dead Homie, part of the American gangsta rap / horrorcore group, Insane Clown Posse. Him and his (*cough cough*) posse were arrested on Saturday, and needless to say, my Google Alerts have been haywire all week. Such is life, I guess. :P
Fauxgo love!
My Edward Lewis Enterprises logo from my silly Edward Lewis Scholarship Fund is featured on Fauxgo today, which presents logos of fictional companies or organizations.
Thanks Tymn!

The Official Gay Card: Once more with feeling
Toronto Pride wrapped up late last night / early this morning, and I think everyone would agree that it was the best weekend ever!
And speaking of good news, the Official Gay Card has also been a monumental success. After one month, a box of sidewalk chalk, and some big, exciting milestones, here are the final post-Pride analytics:
- 61,689 visits (22,966 on June 21 alone!)
- 69,085 page views
- 137 countries
- 597 sources / reposts
- 2450 PDF downloads
- 1575 iPhone downloads
This couldn't have happened without all of the amazing support of my friends, family, co-workers, my über-talented web developer Chris Roberts, and everyone who thought the Official Gay Card was worth sharing with friends. This has been a huge thrill for me, and has confirmed my desire to create more fun web-based projects like this in the future (one is already in the making)... stay tuned!
Thanks again.
xoxo,
CR
