I’m goin out to chilliwack tomorrow evening, for some partying, camping, and critical massing. For those who aren’t from vancouver, chilliwack is a town about 100km outside of vancouver. We’re going there to have the first ever chilliwack critical mass. The story, if i remember correctly, is that there was this really [...]
Now that more and more people know that i’m leaving the company on July 15th, I’m starting to get a lot of questions from them. Some people are just asking the polite questions about where i’m going and how long i’m there, and isn’t that nice, but others are asking more in-depth questions or [...]

i was just jotting down a quick comment on red-cedar’s blog post about attraction, but my comment was getting a little long so i thought i’d just post something here and track it back. Here’s the part i was replying to:
“and i didn’t have an immediate physical attraction (though that means very little for [...]
so i slept in this morning, and didn’t ride my bike. i gotta get my motivation back up. Next week i’m gonna ride every day, rain or shine. I’ll need to make sure i’ve got food for lunch, and clothes prepared the night before. The rain won’t really bother me, since [...]
