Learning Experiences
So, the Jericho video is coming along nicely, and I’m sure you’re all glad to hear that. Other than that? I have nothing to tell you. I feel like this has been a few weeks of either learning really stupid things, or not learning anything at all. Here’s what Ryan has learned: Don’t buy Halloween […]

Vanier Park Cross Classic Movie
It is done. Share & Enjoy. You are cautioned that this is a 30 MB movie, and it is well over 7 minutes long.I am inordinately proude of this, especially since all the source material was shot with my same old Coolpix 2500 that Eric sold me about a year ago. That means no shots […]

Stylin!
Looking good at the weekend ‘cross race. Well, the truth is my photographers make me look good. 16th. out of 30. Exactly halfway down the field again. At least I’m consistent. Gord, sigh, was faster than me. The video of the A men is coming. Patience!

Cyclocross: The short video
My enemy Gord has posted an excellent precis on the degenerate art of cyclocross. I will also be at the Saturday race, and would further note that the organizers are doing a “learn to cyclocross” clinic starting at 8 am. Cross-curious types are encouraged to attend, and reminded that mountain bikes are permitted in all […]

Penny Arcade has the best enemies
No, really, they do. In the course of a month, they have annoyed Harlan Ellison, then they made Jack Johnson so mad he tried to have them arrested. Not that that’s a bad thing! You know what the thing about aversaries is? You need to have worthy ones. Penny Arcade versus the EB clerk? Silly. […]

Gord is stalking me

Feed the Beast
It’s been rather too long without a post, eh? Savvy readers may believe this is because I don’t want to talk about my last bike race. (B race, scroll just about to the bottom). But here’s the short update: it’s wet, the household is okay, excepting a dog with a newfound commitment to incontinence, and […]

Birthday reflections
My birthday has just passed in the last few days, leaving me in my early thirties, same as last year. My blog-o-matic also tells me this is my 399th post, and that’s worth reflecting on, too. I still don’t know why I do this. I recently installed a page counter here at Wired Cola, and […]

Gord is Usually Faster Than Me
But Sunday was special. I went out and did a cyclocross race in White Rock. Gord and several other club-mates turned out, as did I. If you recall last weekend’s bragging race recap, I was riding a mountain bike. This time I brought that bike, but rode my road bike: Kenny hooked me up with […]
