Hello, my name is Benjamin Hilborn.
Anyone interested in going to Startup Weekend? I won't be able to go, so I'm selling my ticket! I can guarantee it will be an awesome experience.

Electric furnaces + power outage = a lot of people freezing right now. Ideas for places to go out while we wait for power to come back on?

Started my morning off right! Witnessed a break-in in progress in the parkade, accidentally offer to help jumpstart the guy's car before I realized what was going on, got some fresh bread from the bakery, then sat and gave a police report to the nice officer that showed up.
And so it begins! Liberals up by two on the east coast.

“This strangely still pause between summer and autumn, greenery and gold, and the heat and rising wind that is once again readying itself to rush it all away in a climatic symphony of color and scent is, in my opinion, one of the best parts about living on earth” - a beautiful quote from Victoria Erickson
Brand new toys at the office, the Ultimaker 2 and Formlabs 1+!

I learned a very important piece of information about the upcoming election today. For those who don't know, if you're not registered to vote, you're not allowed to vote. Unlike the provincial election, where they just registered me when I showed up, you have to do this beforehand. While I have some choice words for whoever thought this was a good idea, I just wanted to put a heads up out there so no one gets a nasty surprise on Election Day.
Watching Andy Woodhull with Danielle, Roman, and my beautiful Alison. My cheeks and sides hurt.

The sky, the road, the rain... I'm just missing my girl.

First leg of the trip to Hawaii done! This was the clearest the skies were, the rest of the flight the ground was completely cloaked by forest fire smoke.

Hey guys, I'm helping Alison try to find a new tenant for her place in University City. It's probably the brightest, most beautifully clean apartment I've ever seen. It can come completely furnished if you'd like, and rent isn't too much higher than a comparable residence, not to mention the benefit of your own kitchen, washer/dryer, balcony, and a built-in gym :) Let me know if you have any questions, or want to just swing by to take a look. We have snacks!
