Links to the Right
You know what? I really should update my links section. Just looking at the list you might assume I only read 5 blogs. That is a complete and udder lie! So if I read your site and you read mine I apologize. It's not that I don't love you (as much as I can love someone who I only know through their writings) it's just I'm lazy. I realize it doesn't take much time but then I would have to decide who to add to the list. I can't do that right now. :)
Burn Baby Burn CD's Sent
Yesterday I sent out my Summer themed Burn, Baby Burn music CDs. As I said in a previous entry I will be trading with these five Canadians Jason, Sean, Laura, Dre and Liam plus one Australian named Allan.
If you want to see the track listing click on the More... link below.
As I stated in the letter I sent with the CDs I tried to stay away from traditional summer rock music. This doesn't me I don't like traditional rock. I just want to expose other people to new music. Selections of the music will make sense once you listen to the CD and for those that don't I attempted to explain why I chose them in the letter. I hope you enjoy the music.

1st Ride of the Season
For those of you new to this blog I have a little story, for those who have been here from the beginning and/or know me you can skip to the next paragraph. Last summer I bought a Giant Iguana SE mountain bike. I had it for two months when I feel off the bike during a ride (on Labour Day for those who care) and ended up breaking my wrist. I was in a cast for a little less than 2 months but required 2 months of physiotherapy to regain most of the mobility in my arm.
Today I went out for my first ride since the accident last year. It was a nice day, the temperature was about 28 degrees celsius. It was a little too humid for my liking but while I was biking a nice breeze kept me cool. I stopped by my aunt and uncles place on the way home and they feed me dinner. It feels nice being active and doing something instead of being stuck inside and slothful :)
I apologize. This story wasn't very exciting :)
My Name is Spacebound
Ever wanted to go to Mars but couldn't afford it? Well now your name can go to Mars while you stay on Earth. It seems NASA is going to burn your name onto a CD which will be sent to Mars in one of the Mars rovers. Ultimately the rovers will run out of power and your name will be on Mars for the rest of eternity. Plus you get a certificate of thanks from none other than Edward J. Weiler, who just happens to be my most favorite Associate Administrator in the whole wide world (and who I'd never heard of before this). :)
You know I did something like this before when I was a kid. Before they built the Skydome in Toronto you could sign a huge metal girder that would be used in the creation of the stadium. So somewhere in the huge stadium my name is hidden.
