So here’s a little video of Brett and I, he said he’s sorry for some of the wind noise in the background, and said it doesn’t sound like that in Adobe and he’s way too lazy to go back and fix it now. Nonetheless, the riding’s not bad for those who like street, trials, trialsnoir, and rigid bikes.
Enjoy.

So I’ve been working on my CASB pre-reqs recently and recently been offered a position at Trenholme Jackson Eade to article for my CA designation. I’m pretty stoked about this opportunity as I’ve always intended to persue my accounting designation, and the timing worked out perfectly.

Here is my latest video. Just a little warning this video has no taps, no drops, no hooks, and no amazing riding. It’s just about going out messing around and having fun riding anything.

So I helped Craig Richey setup his new website the other day after he gave up on his wordpress installation. I’ve also decided to capture a few clips for a new video. Don’t expect any new and innovative riding, just some random clips from around Victoria. It’s more to test out Cinelerra and my firewire connection. For the Linux fans out there I highly recomend installing the latest Compiz repositories, the eye candy comming out is light years ahead of anything you’ll see on a Windows or Mac computer.

Falling down and crashing is always hard to deal with, but missing something you love and healing from injury is even harder. Nonetheless, I always loved this quote since it captures so much about life and bicycles.
“When I was about 4 years old, I got my first bike. That seems both like yesterday and a million years ago. The first time I rolled to the end of my driveway, I doubt I realized how much further my bike would take me. That was almost 23 years ago. Since then, my bikes have taken me ot the middle of the woods, cities far and wide, prestigious universities, the Eiffel Tower, the convenience store, and even jail. How amazing is this vehicle we call a bicycle? How far can it take you? And how far are you willing to go? None of that really matters though as long as you enjoy the time you spend getting there.”

So I finally decided to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu Linux distro (6.06 - dapper drake). The upgrade was flawless, in fact it was soo smooth I even notice that the latest version has vastly improved in performance compared to 5.10 release. I also decided install the new Compiz effects a try eventhough Xgl & AIGLX are still very alpha technology. Nonetheless, when all was said and done my computer now has some crazy effects, and it’s still more stable then any windows machine I’ve ever used. Here are a few screen shots. {gallery}pictures/xgl{/gallery}

Two years ago I was privileged to see Danny Tenaglia play a spectacular marathon set at Stereo in Montreal. The show was gangbusters; the club vibe was amazing, and the analog sound system lived up to all expectations. That night I realized the residents of Montreal had something special going in their city.
Over the last few years Montréal has further solidified it’s stance in the music industry by producing some of the most spectacular albums in modern rock today. Two notable standout albums were Funeral (Arcade fire) and Apologies to the Queen Mary (Wolf Parade). Last year another somewhat unknown artist named Tiga stepped it up again with the release of his second LP (Sexor) and some amazing remixed tracks to complement it. His seamless blend of synth driven electro-house paints a spectacular portrait of modern electronic music through his use of dark cuts and relaxed vocals. It’s just a shame that his extended singles are soo hard to acquire in Canada. Hopfully, I will include a few tracks on an upcomming mix.

In Feburary I bought a new condo downtown Victoria. Here are a few pictures before I started cleaning up the unit.{gallery}pictures/condoBefore{/gallery}
These pictures are after I repainted the place and installed new countertops in both the kitchen and bathroom. I also setup a closet to house my turntables and DJ gear with the TV on the stand below.{gallery}pictures/condoAfter{/gallery}
