Learning Experiences

Mon, 10/31/2005 - 20:44 — rcousine

So, the Jericho video is coming along nicely, and I’m sure you’re all glad to hear that.

Other than that?

Vanier Park Cross Classic Movie

Wed, 10/26/2005 - 15:55 — rcousine

It is done. Share & Enjoy. You are cautioned that this is a 30 MB movie, and it is well over 7 minutes long.I am inordinately proude of this, especially since all the source material was shot with my same old Coolpix 2500 that Eric sold me about a year ago. That means no shots longer than 15 seconds, which imposes a very useful discipline on the auteur.

Stylin!

Looking good at the weekend 'cross race. Well, the truth is my photographers make me look good.

16th. out of 30. Exactly halfway down the field again. At least I'm consistent. Gord, sigh, was faster than me.

The video of the A men is coming. Patience!

Cyclocross: The short video

Thu, 10/20/2005 - 07:00 — rcousine

My enemy Gord has posted an excellent precis on the degenerate art of cyclocross.

I will also be at the Saturday race, and would further note that the organizers are doing a "learn to cyclocross" clinic starting at 8 am. Cross-curious types are encouraged to attend, and reminded that mountain bikes are permitted in all races except the A category men.

Penny Arcade has the best enemies

No, really, they do. In the course of a month, they have annoyed Harlan Ellison, then they made Jack Johnson so mad he tried to have them arrested.

Gord is stalking me

Feed the Beast

Sat, 10/15/2005 - 15:09 — rcousine

It's been rather too long without a post, eh? Savvy readers may believe this is because I don't want to talk about my last bike race. (B race, scroll just about to the bottom).

But here's the short update: it's wet, the household is okay, excepting a dog with a newfound commitment to incontinence, and after I thought I was done with jelly for the year, it turns out I'm going to make some grape jelly, thanks to a harvest from my parents' grape arbor.

Birthday reflections

Fri, 10/07/2005 - 03:50 — rcousine

My birthday has just passed in the last few days, leaving me in my early thirties, same as last year. My blog-o-matic also tells me this is my 399th post, and that's worth reflecting on, too.

I still don't know why I do this. I recently installed a page counter here at Wired Cola, and it tells me there are about 10-20 of you visiting on an average day. Welcome! That level of interest has convinced me of two things: this site is worthless, but amusing enough to my friends and family to continue. Enjoy!

Gord is Usually Faster Than Me

Mon, 10/03/2005 - 16:45 — rcousine

But Sunday was special.

I went out and did a cyclocross race in White Rock. Gord and several other club-mates turned out, as did I.
