Just back from Cypress and the mounds of snow. Woaw.

Driving up from Vancouver in the rain into a blizzard up top. Too bad about the Audi Quatro in the ditch. My old Jeep managed just fine.

Tons of fresh snow, no lineups and the most fun I’ve had all year.

I managed a not-ready-for-the-Olympics face-plant-cartwheel-thingy off Hutch into waist deep snow, measured head first.

After digging myself out, and digging the snow out of my helmet and goggles, I couldn’t stop laughing.

My new Nitro Darkhorse is giving me all the thrills they promised over at Second Wave.

With all those updates I keep getting for IE I wonder why they never update the copyright dates?

I have a love-hate relationship with iTunes. I’m extremely inarticulate when it comes to WHY.
This post by Anil Dash pretty much gets it right. Here’s the preface to his itemized list of things to do better:

See the list here and check out the comments.

Monday Jan 9th I’ll be a guest on the Bill Good show on CKNW in Vancouver.

You can listen live on AM980 in the Vancouver area or online at CKNW.Com

I’m scheduled for the 11:30 slot, which is the last slot on Bill’s show, so I could get bumped for a big , medium , any real news story.

Why am I on the show ? Talking about the web of course – and I’ll try to work in a plug for Northern Voice while I’m there.

Who Knew ?

I’m the same age as Marc Canter. When we met at Vidfest in Vancouver last spring I could have sworn I was older. And for the record, I find I agree with 73.2 % of what he says, but only understand 19% of it.

I’m speaking at Northern Voice 2006. This is a real honour, because even though I’m the same age as Marc Canter, I’m hardly a web 2.0 guru. I do know media though and it will be real pleasure to present with respected journalist Mark Schneider. (I wonder if we’re the same age too).

A Bump Key. Go figure. Details at Lot 49 , who, like Marc Canter, links out to Om Malik’s blog.

Who says BC gets wimpy weather. Check this out:
