So I took a trip to Seattle last week as a reward for finishing my coursework. After a somewhat desolate winter in Toronto's concrete jungle, all the greenery and mountains around Seattle were very, very welcoming. Thankfully it looks like Toronto turned a little more green while I was away. Rob and I went [...] Read More…
I tore up some ligaments in my shoulder last week during my foolish escapades (really, it's not even a good story) and I've had to find some fun physical things to do that don't involve much upper body movement. Fortunately, I can still operate my speedy two-wheeled friend with my lame shoulder. Just as cars [...] Read More…
I made an awful discovery today about my carbon footprint. After I read about the new Toronto edition of the Zerofootprint calculator, I decided to register and try it out to calculate my CO2 emissions for the past year. The result? 15.7 tonnes. According to Zerofootprint, the average Canadian emits 10.1 [...] Read More…
I took my reading week break in BC last week with the goal to close out my '07-'08 ski season with a big bang. Four days of beautiful weather, bluebird skies, and phenomenal skiing made for a perfect end to my season. I came back to Toronto feeling a little sad to be [...] Read More…

I just got back from a sweet two weeks of vacation: 3 days of traveling, 6 days on skis, and lots of great times with my family and friends. Like all great vacations, I was sad to have it end. I'm a west coast boy now and I'll definitely be missing the mountains [...] Read More…
Something excellent that I've realized over the last year: I've got time. Read More…
It's rare that my blog takes on such a combative tone, but tonight I'm fuming and I can't help it. To the individual driving a white van who hit a young woman cycling near Seaton & Shuter tonight and then just drove off: seriously, are you even human? Rest well knowing that she's [...] Read More…
Somehow a lot of the recent writing on here has been related to technical things. It might be a sign that I should get out more? Just to diversify the content, I dug out a few photos I took recently that I thought were fun. This painting on a concrete wall near my friend's [...] Read More…
