- Hands down, best travel accessory
I travel a fair bit – spent roughly 170 days away from home so far this year. When I leave next week I'll top out at 187 or so. There's lots of great things to make travelling easier, but hands down what I think is the best thing to bring on the road… a power [...]
- Off to the shredder with you… Anti-doping forms
Here's some other random stuff I found while cleaning up. Anti-doping forms from in-competition tests throughout the season. I piled these on the paper shredder for destruction. In theory, I should hang onto these for 1 more month. But I'm going to gamble and assume its OK to dispose of them now. I think I [...]
- If you can figure this out… I’ll give you a team jersey
I was cleaning up my office today and I found this. Its the race notes from Tro Bro Leon. That was a good day for the team, Will was 2nd, Bru was 6th and Lucas was in the break almost all day taking the KOM and Sprint classification. We'd pretty much had our heads kicked [...]
- Dinner Juice
Here's what I had for dinner tonight: 1 apple 1 lemon 8 carrots 2 beets 10 pieces of celery 1/4 of a red onion 1 clove of garlic Kale (a big handful) Rapini (a big bunch) 1/2 of a cucumber 15 cranberries (roughly) Wash it, chop it, juice it. Add salt and pepper to taste. It is [...]
- Juice fasting is fun and expensive
I started a 2 week juice fast. It seemed like a neat thing to do for a few weeks before I have to travel again … I'll be in Switzerland where the UCI will tell me how to be a better Director from October 31-Nov 5. When I'm there I'm sure I won't be able [...]
- My super amazing green smoothy recipe
I may have just made the best green smoothy of my life. It tasted fantastic. Here's the recipe (or best I can remember it): 2 lemons 6-8 apples a bit of fresh ginger root Swiss chard (about 6 leafs) baby spinach (about 4 handfuls, maybe more) two bananas 2-3 cups of water In a really [...]

- Trail run with Mike, Sheri & Dot
See and download the full gallery on posterous Had a great little trail run with Mike, Sheri and Dot today. It was actually my best run this fall. I felt good, ran the longest and looking at the geeky data it also looks like I had my best average moving speed. That said, I’m not [...]

- It must have been the altitude
I've been running a lot lately. Thursday I dashed out for a run and suffered. At first I thought it had to be the altitude – I went on a route that takes me much much higher than normal. Then I got home and mapped it using Garming Connect… uhmmm max altitude was only 224m. [...]
- The crisis of capitalism
- We’re building kitsch stage sets
I just watched the movie Objectified. It was really good. At one point in it, Karim Rashid says this: "We have advanced technologically so far, and yet somehow its almost some sort of paranoia where we're afraid to really say "we live in the 3rd technological revolution". I have an iPod in my pocket, I have a mobile [...]
- How many shoes do two people actually need?
I've recently tidied up some closets and shoe storage at the house. We can now fit 18 pairs of shoes in the front entryway closet and another 56 pairs of shoes downstairs on a shoe shelf. But this made me wonder… do two people really need 74 pairs of shoes – or to be fair [...]

- Fixing Velonews for the Tour
It is Tour time and I have to get my bike fix all over the internet. Which means I have to go to Velonews on and off. VeloNews used to be my favourite bike site, but they've gone through two redesigns since their acquisition by Competitor. Each one I've felt degraded the site… visually, technically [...]
- Exciting sprint shows tactical versatility?
Wow, today's Tour de France sprint finish in Montargis was exciting. What a sprint. What made it most interesting to me was watching how the teams played the finish and then wondering … after the outcome, if Columbia-HTC rode the way they did intentionally? Big bike teams these days have become known for developing 'systems' [...]

- Runaround
Yesterday I finished my bench. Today I went for a dog walk with Sheri, Dot and Rigby–then a runaround the house. Beautiful day here. Wish I had a beer, but I drank my last one last night. I might take a nap now. Posted via email from 7thgroove’s posterous
- Bench
Recently Jack Black came over to help tidy up the laundry room and install some new baseboards at the house. This motivated me to replace the old pine bench we had in the front hall. It never really fit the space well, and it jutted out to far making access to the right side of [...]

- Closet
Ever since Sheri and I moved into our house I've hated the front hall closet shelf. It was a skanky piece of 1970's particle board with some kind of mack-tack or wallpaper on top. It was bendy in the middle and just plain bad. Today I finally got around to fixing it. It only took [...]
- Wiki wiki run with Marc and Bo
I went for a quick (wiki) run with Marc and his dog Bo today. Bo is an Australian sheep dog, very cool dog, very quick. Much quicker than Marc and I. We ran just under 30 mins and then we had a beer. It was very hot today, nicest easter weekend I think I can [...]
- Running in the spring
It can be hard to guess when the running in the trails will be good in the spring time around here. Today I went for a short trail run with Dot. It was a great time, but the running wasn’t so good. There was a lot of stopping and starting to pick a path around [...]

- Someone smarter than me has probably said this before
Something just dawned on me, I've not seen it said like this, but someone smarter than me has likely said it before. The key difference between old communication and new social media communication is the intent of the communication event. With traditional communication–marketing, PR, journalism, etc– getting it published is the end game. When it [...]

Mac learning. Cool, figured out psuedo full screen view. I was missing that. Kind of frustrated about not having a ‘delete’ and ‘backspace’ key–I got very used to using both. I still need to install Adobe Creative Suite. I am still having trouble with installing stuff, especially if it comes as a stuffit or zip [...]
