900km in 24hrs

I don’t like missing out on things, so sometimes adventures like this happen.

Boarded a train. Saw this machine in the middle of Union Station (did you know there used to be a shooting range there?).

Started this book. So far so great.

Fatal System Error by Joseph Menn

Went to a party and then another with a lot of old friends, and now some new ones, many of whom pick me up when they hug me, which I love.

Tried this for the first time. Meh.

At 4am I got out of one car and into another.

Hi from Hamilton, it’s cycling race day!

This is the Good Friday Road Race hosted by Canada’s oldest cycling club – The Hamilton Club.

You can better see the course in my episode, Exploring Cycling, because I filmed from the back of the pace car.  It’s set to some beautiful classical music.

It’s a 55km race, average speed was 37km/hr, takes 90 minutes.

It was so cold out (and ya it’s April, but remember the good weeks in March? Also, watch my weather video for why it’s good it’s cold in Canada)

Waiting for the results. Sleep dep FTW.

BOOM FIRST!

WTG Nick and great team work fellas.

Came home to a home cooked meal even, then I slept for a while the end.

Happy Skynet Becomes Self-Aware Day

In Terminator movies, the military created Skynet, an artificial intelligence which becomes self-aware today, April 19 2011 at 8:11pm / 20:11.

Then it turns against the humans… carnage, mayhem etc.

The below made me literally LOL today (this Skynet thing was trending on Twitter earlier , it’s not that weird)

A few weeks back, @SkyNetOperative started following me on Twitter.  Today we engaged in a back and forth.

This is its bio (the code basically means its watching the internet, and saving it all for future use)

So I said I dropped into its computer, and took ownership of its accounts and information.

It came back with uh-huh, I just kicked you off the server, undid your changes and copied your hard drive to a USB key.

Note it knows what kind of computer I’m on.

I replied by making it its own account.

 

 

 

I Haven’t Yet Officially Wished You HNY

So HAPPY NEW YEAR to YOU!!

May it be your best one yet!!

I’m kinda jinxy and methodical about how I spend the hours before the a new year. This year I wanted to be around a bunch of money, so I went to a casino.

Played slots and video poker (my favourite game, and only play on at least a 9/6 machine kay). Turned $20 into $70 in 10 minutes of play. Mission accomplished.

And let the record show that Wheel of Fortune is THE best game period. I get so pumped when me or anyone in my row gets to spin.

Then I ripped up that note, which has been folded in my wallet for 7 months, and pitched it into the sky.

So sometimes I’m like, super dramatic, whatever.
