Toronto Tornado Footage

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Here’s a clip of one of the Tornados that touched down just north of Toronto in an area called Vaughn. Where’s Vaughn you asked? If you’ve ever been to Canada’s Wonderland, that’s where Vaughn is. Further south towards the lake where I live, we didn’t get the tornado, just very high winds, hard rain and an amazing lightning storm.

Beautiful sky after the Toronto tornado storms. It went from pitch black to this bright clear sky.

Hopefully everyone makes it out without harm.

Very cool. I usually use Firefox’s Aardvark plugin and a pdf print plugin, but this looks so much easier. Check this out if you have to print webpages but don’t need all the clutter and images. Helps cut down your dead tree amount.

Another day, another pair of shoes

Monday, August 10th, 2009

I’ve looked like a shoe addict lately with all these shoes arriving, but this should be the end of it. No more for another while.

 These Jordans are so sweet. Tough to actually wear them. Like a good stock, should I hold and resell later when the prices and demand go up? Supply is low and hard to find.

 I think I’m going to have to wear them, but only on special days. If you see me out and around wearing these, you can bet it’s a good day.

UFC 101 Forrest Griffin vs. Anderson Silva

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Watch this video (4 minutes) while it’s still available. Starts out slow, but by 3:20 left on the clock you’ll see the action start.

UFC 101 - Anderson Silva Forrest Griffin

This is why I love the UFC. It’s so crazy how good Anderson Silva is. I thought Forrest was going to give him some challenge with his bang-it-out brawling style. Anderson taunted him a bit, got him fired up so that he’d just come in swinging rather than being tactical – game plan out the window. Anderson is so fast and sharp that he can wander around unprotected with his hands down and pick his pinpoint shots. As Forrest himself said, “this guy makes good dudes look bad”. Add another one to the list. I still really like Forrest and was hoping he’d get the upset, but it’s hard to compare the two fighting skills.

Look what just arrived in the mail – new shoes. eBay rules.

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Gotta love eBay shopping. The only thing hard about it is the wait. I got these Nike Air Max 90 Premium (UTT PFG Barnstormers) for a serious discount over what I paid for my last pair of 90 Premiums.

Shortly after these were bought and paid for, a pair of rare Jordan IV’s came up in my autosearch and I couldn’t pass them up. I bid on the Jordans and won them for $86. Compare that to the $190 + tax the local shoe shop was charging.
 
What’s your favorite eBay purchase?

Weather forecast for Whistler: 25 and Smoky. Forest fires, please go away.

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

I’ve never seen weather forecast conditions listed as “Smoke” before. Forest fires are doing some real damage to the mountains. That’s not going to help the Olympics this year either.
