Best Billboard Ever!

Ok, this is only the best billboard EVER! It’s from this site titled “That Girl Emily”; a humourous rant about this woman who found her husband cheating and is really getting back at him systematically & methodically.

And now, presenting James @ 32! It’s been one amazing year, almost completely devoid of blogging but packed full of some amazing experiences. Up next year? Several big business ventures, a little more blogging, quite a bit of travel and much more life.

And check out an amazing natural event that happens on my birthday every year in NYC.

Hard Drive Failure

Last night I went to copy a CD for Jenny and my laptop gave me a very bad message. “Your hard drive has reported an error that Mac OS X cannot recover from. If this drive has not failed completely back up as much data as you can.” the next few minutes were filled with a slow torture or intermittent clicking noises emanating from my laptop during its death throws.

I managed to back up some of my files, but little things like ALL of my bookmarks, contacts, email, web projects, music… (the list goes on and on) have all been lost. My last back up is about 3 months old.

So, please send my your contact info and any bookmarks and links to files / programs that I might find useful. And learn from my pain; back up regularly.

2006 Tour de France : a Start with Scandal

As many people’s free time gets consumed by the greatest bicycle race, controversy overshadows the sport.

It has already been reported many places, a phenomenal number of riders have been banned from this year’s TDF due to a Spanish report titled “Operación Puerto”. Below is a complete list of the riders under investigation for what in the professional cycling world is referred to as “doping”. The wikipedia describes doping as “the use of performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids”.

Some people may remember that Lance Armstrong was just recently cleared of doping allegations from a 1999 investigation! So needless to say it is not a fact that these riders are guilty of doping, just that they are under investigation and thus ineligible to race in this year’s TDF.

So pick your favorites and enjoy this year’s “Le Tour de France” on OLN with complete live and later in the day enhanced coverage.
