A mostly videoblog, sometimes photoblog where I post clips about everything under the sun. Music, movies, random daily moments, stuff about food I eat and hikes I go on.

About Me
- Lukas Blakk
- My day job is doing build and release engineering for Mozilla. I graduated from Toronto's Seneca College with a degree in Software Development in 2009. My spare time involves teaching anything I have learned about systems, programming, media, web development and anything to do with the open web to anyone who want to learn. When I'm not by a computer I'm making films & videos, running, hiking, swimming, playing hockey, walking the dog, cooking or otherwise trying to pack a lot into a busy life.

I've done the shirt thing too. Actually, I do it everyday at school. In addition to wanting to look cool (cool shirts), I want people who may share similar interests to come up and be like, "hey are you going to this show?"
Your right though, very, very shallow.
Totally - there's something comforting about seeing right off the bat that someone is into a similar music/art/culture.
On a basic level, I think we are just trying to create tribes and be part of something bigger.
That's a perfect story, Lukas, because I think many of us can relate.
When I moved to Boston, I hoped my hairy legs would be a symbol for people. But it took me months to find people anyway because I didn't do some of that leg work (ha, no pun intended). I appreciate that you can relate to moving somewhere alone and starting over. I'm glad you found good people.
We do try to find allies that way. I think it makes sense. But I don't have to shop at Hot Topic to do it, thank god.
