Catching Up...

First of all, I did not forget about my wonderful readers, and I know, it's been a while... but here's the quick 3-minute recap of my last few months!

After my almost viral (177 views!!!!) Tim Hortons blog which you should read (or reread) because it's just artistry level blogging, I let the fame and fortune go to my head... okay well actually, I got a job.

If you follow me on any other platforms, I fell off the grid pretty much as soon as I began working, but I have a lot to fill you in on!

After a long and stressful job hunt, I received a phone call from a consulting company. Fast forward a month and I'm having a great time working as an energy management consultant. Not to brag or anything, but my office view is pretty sweet, check it out!


I also had a birthday during this mysterious, radio-silent time. I had said I'd write a blog then.... we'll just move past the fact that it's been almost 4 weeks since.

My biggest news and I'm excited to share it, is that I decided to participate in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer this year! I've wanted to do some type of big bike ride for a while now, and I finally committed to this summer. It's a 200km-ish ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls over 2 days this summer. It's a massive event and proceeds go to the Princess Margrett Cancer Research Centre. This is a top 5 cancer research center in the world, and this event has helped raise over 100 million dollars in the last decade. I'm pumped to ride, but the training will be a journey. Here's a video if interested.

My last long ride was 2 years ago, and about 90 km. So there's a long way to go, but I'm going to bring you all along through the training, fundraising, and hopefully the ride itself! Of course, I have no expectations, but if you'd like to donate, save up and I'll have a site all set up late next week.

Follow along with me on my other social media platforms as well, youtube, twitter, facebook and of course on the blog. I'll be in full fundraising mode
soon!

So, thanks for reading, and I look forward to you all riding along with me on this journey. Get it? Riding?

Cheers

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

Let's Talk About Timelines

This was originally going to be solely a discussion on time travel. However, discussing the timeline is a rather good starting point before or while discussing time travel. I've always wanted to write about my thoughts on time and time travel. It is one of those obscure enough topics where anyone can theorize about the generalities of it. But are those theories based in any realm of realism? There are well-respected theorists like Stephen Hawking who have gone into great detail regarding time travel. There are a ton of TV shows and movies which go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible. In our current understanding of physics, time travel is mathematically allowed. But the reality is that we just don't know, yet. Perhaps there is another law of physics we have yet to discover which proves time travel is fundamentally not possible. But it's fun to think about regardless. Let's start simple. If I were to build a time machine right now, would I be able to use i...

My Covid-19 Analysis

Hi Everyone. Been a while... We live in interesting times right now. There is a global behavioural shift happening all because of this nanoscale warrior that barley classifies as a living thing. Covid-19 has disrupted the world faster and more efficiently than almost any other thing in the last few decades. All of the news and social media out there about the virus is scary, and rightfully so. But it's important to stay informed about the facts, and I'm here to help arm you with them through this pandemic. Below is a report that highlights Covid-19's Global, Canadian and Ontarian reach. There are plenty of visuals out there tasked with doing the same, but this is mine. It's a static report because I'm not rich enough to afford a license for the software I use (thanks work!). Data is accumulated daily from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Canadian government's outbreak update site and Ontario's Data Catalog. Take a look an...
