It's been a while since I posted some new original content, so... why not shake off the rust with style by not only adding new content but also a new category "East Van". Every spring I start my cycling season out with a ride through Leeside Skate Park and on to New Brighton Pool. (regular visitors to this site are already familiar with this ritual). This year however was different, as I took my first ride of the season eastward into Burnaby to the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. While the Burnaby Sports Complex has a travel distance of 7 km from my home (almost double the distance of going to New Brighton) do to the lack of elevation changes its a far easier ride.  So why go eastward this year? Its hard to answer this question without sounding bitter or resentful, but I assure you that is not the case, the reason quite simply is change. Having spent 7 years on the Hastings Community Associations Board of Directors, I felt it my duty to ride through the various parks and nei

With the exception of a new colour scheme, there really isn't much to say about the DualSaw , that hasn't already been stated by the late Billy Mays on his late night infomercials.

  TAG Heuer is best known the world over for making some of the most accurate timepieces available to man. Since the early 1900's Tag Heuer has pioneered chronograph technology, resulting in numerous partnerships with automotive sports leaders such as Formula 1, Ferrari, Mclaren and a multitude of legendary drivers along the way. T he ' TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000' brings chronograph technology to the next evolutionary stage, by creating a timepiece capable of measuring 1/1000 of a second.  Since this is only a concept prototype, there is no set price, but that's fine, I'm more impressed with the cool colour scheme. If you're looking for spec's, then you'll find them at the end.
