I recently discovered that I didn't hate jogging as much as I thought I did. This came as quite a shock, since I have avoided running for years (much to the detriment of my derriere.) I have started doing easy access, moderate difficulty trail running in my neighbourhood, and so far, it has been fantastic. I'm not sure whether it's the thrill of becoming potential snack food for Yogi and ... Read more »

Shhh. Did you hear that? That was the cheering of the die-hard campers down at Cultus Lake, who have been living without campfires for nearly the entire 2009 camping season. The ban has been lifted! The ban has been lifted! With the local forests being a virtual tinderbox this summer, banning open fires from all campgrounds in the province was a prudent move on behalf of BC Parks & BC Forest Service. Necessary ...

I have a pile of things at home that I really want to sell and be rid of. Here's a partial list: Quad core server with 1.0TB of RAID5 storage. Currently running Centos. Was used mostly as a development web server. I'm just selling the server, but if you want this, I can toss in a LCD monitor as well. No keyboard or mouse. Canon EOS ... Read more »

Chilliwack is an obscenely beautiful city. Graced with soaring mountains, pastoral fields, crystalline lakes and rivers - the environment around us is the envy of many. The Wack is an attractive playground for people from around the world, and they come here to frolic in our backyard. Tourism Chilliwack's billboards along Highway 1 beckon motorists to come and play in the "great outside" and depict the pristine eco-wonderland that surrounds ... Read more »

While I don't technically have an office (who does nowadays?), I am a full time web developer for a company I co-own called BraveNewCode. My partner is a guy named Dale who lives out in Hamilton, Ontario. We spend a good portion of our days doing work together over iChat, and have special cell-phone plans that let us talk to each other whenever we want without worrying ... Read more »

With that in mind, I'm looking for a few motivated people who would like to write on this site from time to time. Ideally you'd be interested in certain aspects of this city, such as music, business, politics, etc. If you're interested in contributing to this project, then please drop us ... Read more »

As someone who works virtually, I'm always on the lookout for trendy establishments that offer free wireless access. Yesterday I was hanging out with a few of my friends from Vancouver, and we decided to head up to Cultus Lake for a few drinks at a pub across from the waterslides. The establishment is called Pala Lago, and it's truly a little gem (I just found their website too, and ... Read more »

I went down to Garrison Village today to take a look around, and also scope out some office space. It's really hard to gauge 900 square feet when the construction is still ongoing. I'm still debating what to do, but it sounds like the rent in the area has been reduced a bit more, which makes it a bit more enticing. I did however learn about some of ... Read more »

So, I've been tossing this idea around in my head off and on for the past few weeks. I received a few emails from people who were interested in possibly renting some office space if I were to go through with a venture of this nature. To give you some context, I typically spend about 50% of my day working out of various coffee shops. Not only do I ... Read more »

Yes, it's true. It's actually always been my plan to make this a social network, but I just haven't had the time to convert it. Truthfully, I still don't have the time, but I woke up this morning and felt like trying to do it. What that means is that you can now have friends, create groups, send messages, write on each other's walls, etc, ... Read more »
