I came across this system few months when my good friend Dan showed me his recent project. I immediately thought it is a great idea. This system is an automated messaging service that will allow you to easily send bulk text/sms or voice broadcast message to every phone numbers that can be organized and grouped based on any category. It would be great for marketing departments, schools, congregations, sports teams, businesses and municipalities for emergency notifications and reminders. More info can be found here:SMS...

Wondering how to fit/refit your Intuition liners? This was a dilemma I faced a few days ago. Fortunately Intuition Sports Inc. is our local Vancouver company and Rob and Crystal are very helpful folks. They provide a refitting service for $20 or you can try doing it yourself at home. One of the many types of Intuition Liners Here are the home fitting instructions I have received from Rob at Intuition Sports Inc. Steps: 1. Take out your fit kit from your liners; this includes 1 pair of fitting socks, 1 pair of toe caps. 2. Take your old liners out of your boots and replace them with your new Intuition...

Lake Ann trail is a great 8.4 miles (round-trip) hike in the Mt. Baker area (North Cascade Mountains, WA). Best time to visit it is August to October (there might be still snow on parts of the trail the rest of the year). The hike takes about 5-6 hour (round-trip) and is considered to be a moderate one. It suits nicely for a weekend overnight backpacking trip. That’s what we did last weekend. What summarizes this hike is: great views of Mt. Shuksan and Mt.Baker, open meadows, rock gardens and amazing abundance of blueberries (September). There is a primitive campground at the lake. If you are...

My recent trip to south of Japan (Shikoku Island) was quite exciting. Great food (I really mean GREAT FOOD!), visiting Tomoko`s relatives, sightseeing, experiencing hot Japanese summer and guess what … car hunting. Well not in the literal sense really. I was not planing to buy anything. It was more like hunting them with the lens of my camera. I was quite astonished how many different and unknown in North America cars exist in Japan. Many of them very cool and funky. My rough estimate is that out of all the cars I have seen during my trip only about 10-15% were the ones that are also...
