April 2008 Archives

It took a couple of years, but I was able to get back out for a round of golf and while I didn't set any records, it was an amazing time. We've been on a tear of good weather lately, so that doesn't hurt either... although it appears to have hurt blog output, as there hasn't been that much boredom to write about.

While running last week, I almost ripped my knee to shreds, so I'm going to try again tomorrow. With all the BBQs I've been attending, I'd better do something soon, or not only will my knee be in pain from running, but also from the massive amount of weight it will have to support.

It's clearly been a little while, since I've posted, but there's not been much to mention. I find myself in Whitby, with my work contract now completed. I was set to start my marathon training this week, for Ottawa, but a cold has sidetracked that effort. Hopefully I'll be out and about, by Monday. Mind you, even if I was feeling better by tomorrow, I wouldn't want to miss a second of The Masters, so running would be put aside, anyway.

So how have I enjoyed my first few days of truly leisurely activity? There's been a lot of walking, a lot of Wii-playing and a lesser amount of movie-watching.

Needless to say, I'm already bored.

I haven't put up any links in a whlie, so here are two. The first one is about a rather remarkable camera, that The New York Times' David Pogue has humorously reviewed. Be sure to watch the video.

The second is a 10-year-old story about the Russian shuttle program and how they 'stole' all the information they needed, from the US. 'Stole' finds itself looking like that, because none of the information regarding the US shuttle program was made classified, while it was in development. Great success!
