I bought a new mountain bike today since my last one was stolen. I decided to get a more agressive downhill bike this time.

I went to the Arcteryx factory outlet tent sale this morning and got myself a new ski jacket! I was shocked to arrive and see a 200-300m lineup to get in! And all the parking lots were full in the adjacent areas.

They didn't have any sidewinders, or any left. I think thats the jacket I most wanted. But the Stingray is pretty much the same, so i'm happy.

BloggingTories.com claims its forums are the 'fastest growing political forums in Canada', but the data shows otherwise. In fact it's a major stretch of a claim for them to make considering their growth rate is among the lowest.



The data says otherwise:


and here is the growth rate compared:

I just wanted to pass on the word about 2 excellent TV mini-series worth watching. (and both available on the... torrents)

"The Lost Room" - SciFi Channel
Its scifi, but 'Outer Limits' style scifi. This show is so good I’ve watched it twice, even my mom loved it so much she watched it all at once!

"Jekyll" - BBC
"There's a new Dr Jekyll with an old problem... Mr Hyde"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/jekyll/


So those are the 2 shows that I want to share that might have slipped under your radar, they were not super promoted. Also here is a list of shows that me and Angela actively watch or are currently watching.

Battlestar Galactica
Lost
The Office
The IT Crowd (British)
Entourage
Heroes
Stargate Atlantis
Little Mosque on the Prairie
Earth2 (currently watching, old 90's sci-fi)


I also wanted to share a great torrent site for tracking your favourite shows. It has a schedule of when shows come out and lists when shows return from break. You can create a list of your favourite shows, and the list shows when there is a new episode. http://www.eztvefnet.org

Here are some photos and video from this years trip to my parents place in Nanaimo.

Wasn't the best of weather this year, was sunny before and after the weekend, go figure. SO the river was super cold, hence the wetsuits. I only had a half suit thingy so i was pretty cold still. Fun as always though and the TreeGO thing was super fun!
