Looking for some inspiration?

Found this great video online. It's a motivational speech given to MIT graduates.

We`re off to see the wizard.

Vancouver Fireworks at English Bay Fireworks were great. Defending champions, Canada, presented a fireworks display called `The Wizard of Oz`.

Get ready to laugh and be amazed

I discovered a great site. It's called Advertising Age and it has something called the "Viral Video Chart" where they have the top viral ads. Below you will find two of my favorite ads.

Stop and Go

Although I crossed the Burrard Bridge yesterday, the experience on the bus can't be the same as riding your own bike across the bridge. So, today I took the plunge and travelled the long way around town to show my support.

I travelled the bridge around 4:45pm and did not see any traffic on the ends of the bridge. What I saw were cyclists enjoying the new lane and pedestrians walking on the correct side. I found the experience a good one. Most importantly, I felt safe travelling the bridge.

The most dangerous part of my trip happened when a police officer asked me "Where are you going?" just before I crossed the first traffic light as I headed East after the Burrard Bridge. I was travelling pretty fast and had to slow down to answer him while the light turned to amber from green. I responded "Straight." and was not sure if he wanted me to stop or not so I was crawling across the light and but then said it was okay. I am wondering where he thought I would be going.

Vancouver is Triple the Fun

It was a "little person's" birthday today so I ended up at Crash Crawly. Their indoor playground is great for kids. It was lots of fun.

Then travelled across the Burrard Bridge to witness the new bike lane. It was almost 9pm and I was on a bus because I was in a rush to make it to Vancouver Museum's outdoor movie at Vanier Park, Triplets of Belleville. I was glad to see the movie which incorporated a bike theme and French, our other official language.

Play Land Here I Come...

Nothing says summer like rides at Play Land at the PNE. I am going on Saturday and excited to go again this year. I am really glad I don't have to work on Monday or I might end up acting like the guy in this video.

A good cleaning...

As I start my "vacation", I have begun to focus on cleaning around the house. I received a great tip from a friend on how best clean my computer screen. You can see it at the following link: Screen Cleaning.
