I was completely unprepared for this. I wanted to do an open water swim and a quick training run so I just impulsively entered. After Saturday’s solo swim I figured it would be safer to have kayaks nearby anyway. I really like this race distance. It seemed like a far-fetched idea three weeks ago, but … Continued
Good news. I didn’t drown, and had a good T1 transition! Bad news? It’s all in the race report. My very detailed race report The track on Garmin Connect (for the ride and run) The full race rankings Crazy number coincidence – 2:22:30 is exactly 95 moments (the medieval unit of time). So I guess technically I … Continued
Time lapse done at Project Winter Survival’s second weekend, distributing backpacks of supplies to churches, agencies and shelters for homeless people in Toronto. Shot with a Canon 1000SD using an intervalometer script with CHDK set to 3 seconds, and thrown together with Quicktime 7.
Fascinating spot-on analysis.
My first attempt at a time lapse using a Canon 40D tethered to a laptop. The laptop lost the connection a couple times, and it was accidentally repositioned once.

Naturally I couldn’t wait to be a strong enough cyclist to be able to enter it. This year everything … Continued
It’s not as easy as you’d think. Out of the whole three-page article it was the most difficult thing I had to write. There isn’t really a set format in Graphic Arts Magazine, which would have made it much easier. Article bios range from the full-featured and descriptive: Barry Siskind is North America’s foremost trade … Continued
It’s good to know I’m not the only person who’s guilty of this. First, don’t take multiple shots from multiple angles, kneel on the banquette, or rearrange the table. Jeffrey Porter, cowriter of the blog Drink Eat Love, says he limits himself to “four or five shots.” Besides creating an unnecessary disturbance, your dinner might … Continued
For an unplanned training ride a lot of thought has actually been put into it. Since I started thinking about biking long distances there have been three major rides that I’ve considered. One was Toronto to Montreal. Another was riding 250k to my grandmother’s. The latest has been to ride around Lake Simcoe. Technically I … Continued
