My boys are killing it… pretty much starting up the hottest trade show going in Canada and bringing it to Montréal. They deserve every ounce of credit for this. They saw a problem and fixed it. Think I’ll have to stop in and check the hottest stuff going and maybe even figure which clock to […]

I’m in the process of figuring out what kind of fish I’m ordering from Johan for next summer. My last years one has rails that are too sharp for a kook like me to start off with… so we’re gonna try something more like Jes’s but a bit longer. Johan’s a dedicated member of this […]

One of my best friends just got back from a 3 day cat-access snowboard mission to Baldface in BC. He had an absolutely amazing time. Hey there guys! Just getting back to a pile of work, but all worth it! I was out at Baldface Catboarding operation in Nelson BC last week for a little […]

It has been 50 years since it was first published. I have read ‘On the Road’ a couple times. As Bob Dylan said “It changed my life like it changed everyone else’s”. I read it 1st while I was on the road myself. I bought this version in Boulder, CO and so wish I had […]

Well it’s obviously winter again.. and now we finally have some accumulating snow on the ground (and in the mountains). This weekend; we all finally have some hope of riding/hiking and finding real snow !! The base provided by the 2 last snowfalls has stayed put thanks to some really cold weather. One of the […]

Update: Michel, who’s very good with this stuff, suggested this lens – Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and suggested that Futureshop might be okay due to their “returns” policy I found this amazing chunk of research on some of the most popular DSLR cameras (Canon EOS/XTi and Nikon D series), sensors, lenses, tripods. The […]

After snorkeling for the first time last year in Mexico – and really liking to it – I’m looking at buying a set of fins, masks and snorkel. I’ll use it this year in Mexico (o yes – we’re going back – more about that in another post soon) and this coming summer in those […]

Now that’s winter. Crisp air that dries the saliva in your mouth as you breath. Every flake of snow that fell 2 days ago is frozen solid – the sun can’t melt it and the salt that the city throws down barely does — instead turning it to a mashed potato / brown sugar hybrid. […]

“Sipping Jetstreams” is a surf/travel movie … with slightly more travel than surf (about a 6/5 ratio). First off, I was warned that this wasn’t your typical surf movie with non-stop action, instead it was the kind of movie to put on in the background and meditate on. That said — this is a beautiful, […]

Would you believe there a series of GIANT sized tunnels and control rooms behind the wall of water at Niagara falls? I wouldn’t have until I saw these photos. It does makes sense in that Ontario Hydro has been developing the site and area heavily for 100 years. Three guys decided to sneak in past […]

Last week while driving down to the cottage late one night with Linda, I saw a large black bear sitting by the side of the road (Lac Nick road off the 245 / exit 106 off the 10). The road was icy and snow covered so I couldn’t slow down to much to get a […]

Update: Canada.com is saying mid 2008 and it’s almost certainly a Rogers offering. (thanks Allen)http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/story.html?id=ec4a388d-c7c3-4e0a-822f-1e1288de4c21&k=81460l “What about Apple iPhones in Canada?” … We have been discussing this for the past couple days in the office as a couple people here would buy one instantly. I’d buy one but would prefer to wait for “generation 2” […]

I found this book, “The Training of the Zen Buddhist Monk”, (an old edition) that someone gave me a long time ago. It’s a straight forward read on the life and tradition of a Zen monk in ancient and more modern times by one of the better authors on the subject. It has a bit […]

We watched the premiere episode of Wired Science on PBS (Vermont) tonight. A nice convergence/happy medium between the web and commercial free television. The episode seemed available for download on the web simultaneously. They had a great piece about the inner workings of plasma TV’s and a interesting story of meteorite hunters in the mid-west, […]
