Then & Now

Here's me in Grade 3:

Here's me today:

not that much different IMO. What do you think?

Travelling Vinyl

Some of you may know that I have a pretty large record collection. However, you may not have known just how well travelled my tracks are!

Back in 2000 i started to collect the house tracks that were my favs. I never really had any desire or ambition to be a dj, I just …

Riding Season!

Riding Season is finally here. After complete garbage weather for the past several weeks, the sun came out yesterday afternoon, and today it pumped up the heat.

I got out for my 4th road ride of the year, but the first in shorts and a short sleeved jersey. it was just …

Strange Looks

I had to restock some essential items for cycling this week. They are conveniently available at the local hardware store. However, I got some strange looks when I went to pay for them. Then I heard one of the guys in the back say something like 'there's one of those …

After finishing last year 3rd in the points without racing Dundalk, I was pretty …

Naming Process

I am currently trying to come up with the perfect name for something we're working on. I'm not usually the one who comes with the name, my partner is more creative. That said, this project is more in my arena, so I should be able to come up with something good.

I've …

Time Trials Hurt

Well, this past Thursday was the Barrie Cycling Clubs first bi-monthly 15km Individual Time Trial. It was held at our usual location in Oro, a simple out and back run on the 15/16th sideroad. The course is pretty undulating the whole way, a real leg breaker!

Unlike …

Consistency

You may remember last month I was complaining about how inconsistent my riding had been due to the weathers unpleasantness, I'm happy to say that has turned around.

While we're not yet enjoying overly consistent weather, nor is it particularly seasonal, it's good …

Helmet=Target

I came across a very interesting article this morning in my RSS feeds. It's actually a press release from the University of Bath in the UK. Dr. Ian Walker, who is a traffic psychologist undertook a study, using a specially outfitted bicycle to measure the distance …

R.I.P. Dylan

Customer Service Rant

If there's one experience that i could choose to avoid for the rest of my life, it would most certainly be calling Customer Service Centres of any company.

I routinely am forced to call Rogers, almost on a monthly basis to dispute erroneous charges on my bill. Since I …

Winter?s back in time for Easter!

Wow, woke up to a rather unpleasant surprise this morning.

You may recall my post from Tuesday where i was complaining about the rainy weather keeping me from riding the bike outside. Yesterday morning I awoke to find that we'd gotten a light dusting of snow, really …

Paradigm Shift

I read an article the other day, that completely changed my outlook about our world.

I've grown up thinking the earth is shaped much like a sphere, perfect in it's dimensions. Apparently it's not, Mathematicians call the earth an 'Oblate Spheroid' which basically is …

Figers Ridiculous Rates

After reading this post on Howard Forums today, i was shocked to find out just how badly we're being taken advantage of for Mobile Data by Fido/Rogers here in Canada.

The post linked to an article which argues that Canadians are paying higher rates for mobile data than …
