Listening to the radio on the way home from work they made mention of the Ride to Conquer Cancer which takes place June 20-21. Yes, it's a two day cycling journey that starts here in Vancouver and finishes down in Seattle, Washington. They encourage all ages and physical abilities to take on this challenging task and help raise funds for Cancer Research.

Are you one of those Information Technologists who rarely see the true light of day or feel the warm of the sun against your skin? Are you a blogger who is always trying to write up the latest and greatest article that will skyrocket your readership?

Though recently I have been trying to stay away from my computer as much as possible (especially when we get good weather) and I have taken up a couple of new activities to help me become more active and hopefully increase my fitness. Last winter Robyn introduced me to Snowboarding, something that … Continue Reading »
