n/aTriathlon
This is a meta page gathering all Triathlon related posts. So if I post about swimming, cycling, running it can be found here. This page will also capture race info, training info, equipment reviews, links, and any number of other items. ( categories: n/a | triathlon intro )
Training BLog
This is the log of training, I'd like it to be more than just a blog log, but I'm not prepared to write a training log module for Drupal just yet. I may note my times and distances in a particular format so that I can later use PHP to parse them out of the database and keep a running tally. Anyway, this is where I will track all of my training related activities, stats, and dietary choices so that I can chart my progress and spot trends in need of improvement.

Race ResultsPutting my money where my mouth is, here you will find all of my race results. I've not spent my life pursuing athletic pursuits; choosing instead to live the life of bohemian wannabe throughout my 20s (coffee, cigarettes, beer, music, art, and poetry were the staples of my life). However, I'm rather proud of the results that I've been getting, especially considering the fact I raced my first race ever at age 34 in 2005. I should probably point out the fact that I started to get into cycling for distance at 30 (after I quit smoking), and I took up swimming and running at 32-33. I am rather obsessive compulsive in my approach to things like this, so I expect to see improvement in both my distances and times. ( categories: n/a | race intro )
State of Moncton WifiSubmitted by matthew on Wed, 2007-08-01 13:29.
Once again I'm off on my biannual pilgrimage to Moncton, and in preparation I thought I'd check on the state of free monkeytown wifi. Normally this proves fruitless, but now, as of June 22, in certain areas of downtown, I will find myself embraced by the cozy inviting arms of free connectivity...

End of Brave New WavesSubmitted by adie on Tue, 2007-03-20 09:02.
Apparently on January 17, 2007 CBC Radio 2 announced that Brave New Waves would be removed it's line up, and according to Justin at Metroblogging Montreal this is it's final week. This represents the end of an era for me. I grew up listening to Brave New Waves... I first heard it when I was 14 and Augusta La Paix was the host... I listened to it throughout the Brent Bambury years, and continued listening to it well into Patti Schmidt's run.
Since it aired on weeknights from midnight to 4 a.m I had many a rough and sleepy morning throughout high school. Really it had a bigger influence on my musical tastes, probably even my personality, than any other single media source. Every year I'd visit my father in Ontario (I grew up in Moncton) and be armed with lists of albums to be filled at Record Peddler in TO. In University I'd written countless papers in all night sessions accompanied by Brave New Waves (and multiple pots of coffee). In recent years, the 9 to 5 years, I haven't had the chance to tune in too often, but I'm very sad to hear of it's passing. I almost think of it as the passing of an beloved institution... The air waves will simply not be the same :( ( categories: n/a )
