I know it is still a bit early to think about this but even more the reason to post. If you plan to get a season pass for Mount Seymour this year, they have their annual sale starting tomorrow. 60% off if you buy in September. You can go here

In case you don’t read Joel like I do, the folks at Stack Overflow have released a new questions and answers forums for WordPress based on Stack Exchange. Now I know there is already one on WordPress.org but you can never have enough of those and also the Stack Exchange UI/Experience makes it easier to find what you really need fast.
Today makes it 20 years that I’ve moved to BC. I am now more English than French. Time sure flies.
I finally got my iPhone 3GS unlocked. Todd sent me this link www.jailbreakme.com a while back but i didn’t want to risk it before going on our trip to Québec since I had pre-loaded a bunch of movies and games on it and didn’t want to end up with an iBrick. So today I decided to give it a go and it was by far the easiest, painless, fastest jailbreaking and unlocking process of all. No need to find an IPSW file anywhere, no jailbreak software to download. Just go to that website, use the slider and about 5 minutes later, your phone is jailbreaked. You then use cydia to install ultrasn0w and reboot the phone and the phone is unlocked. Very nice.
My wife got me an iPad for our ten year anniversary and I love it. Such a great format. It has also been a hit with everyone on my recent trip to Québec. If there are some complaints I could make about it, they are the following:
1) Flash support would be great. So many times I want to view some content (usually a video on Facebook) and just can’t. That was also the first complaint my sister and brother had as they now watch some TV content via flash. Somewhat of a bummer having to go back to a computer just for that.
2) Some type of way to pan an embedded Google map on a website. I do geocaching quite a bit and it is hard to move the map around.
3) More apps which are designed for the iPad instead of iPhone which just happened to work ok on it. I guess that will come with time.
Besides that it is great. BTW this post was made from my iPad using the WordPress app which works really well on it. My favorite apps so far are:
- WordPress (should be obvious)
- YouTube
- Zap2It – Great TV schedule app with favorites and searches
- Photoshop Express – I can see many hours with that one
- Couple of games from Donut Games
- Video viewer. I converted a few of my DVDs using Handbrake so we could watch them on the plane/car. Very nice.
Skibum just converted his site over to WordPress. Welcome to the enlighten group!
Just went outside to try to catch a glimpse but still too much in the city and clouds were rolling in.
Perseid shower promises to illuminate night sky with meteors.
Today is our 10 year anniversary! Yes 10 years ago we were getting itched at UBC, dancing to Chubby Checker and Kung Fu Fighting, and watching shooting stars and northern lights. I had a lot more hair back then and what I had was still brown! A lot has happened in 10 years: 2 kids with one more on the way, bought a house in the burbs, new job (been over 5 years now), some traveling, and on the down side a kid battling cancer (she is all good now). We did manage to avoid the minivan although came close and got SUV. I wouldn’t change anything and I still look at my wife the same way and like I said on our wedding night, in Vancouver there are the mountains, the oceans, and the skiing but compared to Kim, they mean nothing to me. Here’s to another 10 years.
John sent me this:
Pretty funny. Reminds me of the post I did back in 2002 comparing European hockey to NHL hockey using Pulp Fiction script.
Update: ok thanks for Blogger I was able to find my old posts
I’ve been enjoying watching olympic hockey the last few days even when Canada got tumped by Sweden. Here is a little transcript adaptation from Pulp Fiction (my wife’s idea):
