When I was younger I fell victim to the BMW marketing machine. BMW created a series of short films called the Hire starring Clive Owen that showcased the capabilities of their beautiful vehicles. The series convinced me that I needed to own a BMW 750Li–the flagship BMW sedan–primarily because it was so luxurious, and [...] August 22nd, 2011
Jack Layton is a politician and a Canadian who I respect. Layton’s passing was a surprise to us all, and I think it is fair to say that Canada is sad to have lost him. He was part of my perfect politician example, but truth is always better than fiction so I leave you [...] August 17th, 2011
I was in the US last weekend for the NASCAR race and brought my trusty PlayBook with me. When I visit the US I use an AT&T GoPhone sim card to avoid the ridiculous roaming charges that the national carriers charge. I added 100 Mb of data to my pre-paid plan and used data [...] August 11th, 2011
Why am I so full? Well, let me tell you. Yesterday Chris and I went downtown to the German Deli for lunch. I had two sandwiches and a large chocolate milk. After work I saw Katy and we went to Domus Cafe. We split the Stacked Suntech Tomato Salad, she had the fresh fish [...] August 7th, 2011
Hi Internet, I have posted some new photosets to my Flickr account. In chronological order, MK’s Surprise 30th Birthday, Bluesfest 2011, and from a trip to Aventure Lafleche’s aerial adventure. It is worth noting that these events all took place before Stephanie worked her magic on my hair, which is now beautiful. None-the-less, they [...] August 6th, 2011
I spent my day bicycling and cooking. I’d like to tell you about both. This morning Adam and I bicycled from my house to Carleton Place. This was almost 80 km round-trip. We took the Ottawa-Carleton Trailway, best described on this page about cycling from Ottawa to Carleton Place. We stopped at Gourmet Restaurant [...] August 4th, 2011
I may have posted already indicating what is upcoming for me with respect to sport, but I thought I’d go over for my own benefit. On August 20th I will be in Toronto to support the runners in the Midsummer Night’s Run. I will not be running. Some family members are running the 15 [...] August 3rd, 2011
I was in Kingston this long weekend for a family reunion. It was fun, and nice to see many family members I hadn’t seen in a while all in one place. It was organized by my aunt and she did a great job of keeping it entertaining. There were a few moments where I [...] July 24th, 2011
Yesterday morning Adam and I went for a bicycle ride. I was riding my mountain bike as we were intending to go through the Kanata Lakes area. We got 5 minutes in and turned around because the bugs were insane. We ended up bicycling to to Carp–specifically to the Diefenbunker. We turned around and [...] July 20th, 2011
I ordered a windshield for my motorcycle today. I went to Dream Cycles in Ottawa thinking that I would order a Memphis Shades Memphis Slim windshield. The lady at the shop was quite helpful and showed me what this windshield would look like on the bike. This would have involved relocating the turn signals, [...] |
