Never really thought I'd bicycle in Vancouver. Never really thought I'd use that bike strip down Burrard. Never really thought I'd ride through downtown at night in a dark jacket and no reflective pads. I'm going cycling with Andy and Jay tomorrow. I'm not going to last very long. 🙂
Sun Run 2011
So. I totally did the Sun Run this morning (or "walk", in my case). And I actually did better than I expected: Official time 1:48:28 KM Pace 10:51 per klick Considering that this time I didn't even try to run, I'm surprizingly pleased. It's faster than my previous two tries, which were both just over … Continue reading Sun Run 2011
Shaenon Garrity Rocks My Socks
It took me years to throw out the packaging because the drawings on it were so awesome. ❤ Narbonic.
Three months on Mobilicity…

Went for lunch with some friends, including an ex-coworker I haven't seen since last year. Beer! Played some D&D again, for the first time in a month. Introduced a friend … Continue reading Great day

Traditional Solstice Post

Wii Homebrew
Note: Written last Saturday. I have a few minutes to kill before I can go to bed, so... bloggery. I was supposed to go Christmas shopping today. Instead, I soft-modded my Wii (as per the instructions at WiiBrew). I did four things: Started up HackMii via the Smash Stack exploit. Installed the Homebrew Channel. Installed … Continue reading Wii Homebrew
Snowcouver!
It was briefly snowy in Vancouver -- even in the West End! It started disappearing that afternoon, but... rad!
