Welcome to the newly revised version of my website!
Sometime during the middle of the night my previous internet host quietly closed shop and disappeared (along with my website files). So I took this as an opportunity to upgrade my website! It now includes a few new features and a content management system to make it easier to navigate and update. I’ve also added a blog component called Crystal Balls & Mirrors, where I can post on my interests and activities.
Have a look around and enjoy your stay.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on the Museum project in Calgary.
Prototyping and fabrication are underway on a number of the galleries.
Soon you’ll be able to see the new Museum and exhibits in person!
Here are some additional peeks.

Yeah yeah, it’s a cake for my dog.

My Pug recently had his 2nd birthday, and while I swore I’d never be one of those people who would dress up a dog or celebrate their special occasions, I found myself making him a special something for his special day.

Latest Addition?: Update

Well I just couldn’t pass up on the opportunity and the Felt TK2 is now part of my bike stable. I know it’s not really the right adjective to use but it’s sooooo pretty!

New Museum Progress

Took a tour of the new museum site the other day. It had come a long way since the last time I visited the site back in March.

Last Ride (of the season)

Well not really the last ride of 2010, but certainly one of the last really nice rides of the year. Took a ride westward from the Beaches along Lakeshore to HighPark.

Cow Town Car

The other day I was visiting my friend Peter at the Goodlifebikes and I saw this in the parking lot. What a beaut, a 1965 Lincoln Continental, check out those suicide doors!

Latest Addition?

The Surly Steamroller is now in Toronto.
I found this on Kijiji.
Fast and definitely made for the velodrome.

2007 Felt TK2 in my size, and in my budget…

Bicycle Built For Two

The bike project mentioned in a previous post had undergone a few changes over the summer. the basket assembly turned out to be a bit wobbly so I replaced it with another system that I cobbled together with an old Cetma rack and a folding storage crate. It works great! Plus the folding storage crate part is quite handy when giving people a lift.

Check out my enthusiastic passenger.

Surely Not Another Bike

Alright, perhaps I have a bit of a problem, but the beater bike in a previous post was replaced by another craigslist find. It is hard to pass up on these deals when they are practically new in condition and hundreds of dollars cheaper than retail.
