Fundraising Update #1

Hiya friends,

So if you follow me in some of the other corners of the internet, you'll have noticed I finally began my fundraising for The Ride to Conquer Cancer!

A big big thank you to everyone who has donated so far, and to a good friend of mine for helping me make my initial fundraising video. I'm over $400 after only a couple days, which is pretty amazing. You all rock!

For anyone who would like to donate, click on over to this link and enter any amount you'd like in the "Freewheeler" option. Keep your receipts for your taxes!

I'll be posting some video and blogs about my training journey, which is off to a slow start, but it's a start! I've also adopted a "STOP EATING SO MUCH" strategy, we'll see how long that lasts.

Other than that, life's been pretty routine since starting my career. Work a lot, eat a little, sleep a medium amount, and gym when I can.

I'm planning on doing some fundraising events once the weather warms up, maybe some group rides, an online raffle and more. If you have ideas, let me know in a comment below!

Well, this was just a short update because it's been a long day, but again, truly, thanks to my donors so far. I'm really excited about this and can't wait to keep the wheels spinning (HA... you had to know I'd sneak a bike pun in!)

Until next time.

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...
