  CBC’s Dragon’s Den 

  Launching a business is no small task. No matter how big an idea you think you have, it still takes a lot of work and a ton of cash. Enter the Dragons’ Den, where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their business concepts and products to a panel of Canadian business moguls who have the cash and the know-how make it happen. They’ve all been there themselves, so you better not walk into the Den unprepared. It takes more than passion to convince these boardroom giants that your idea is worth their attention. The Dragons are ruthless and rightly so – it’s their own personal money on the line.

    I have gadget that I made about 5 years ago. It worked very well for me.
    I made 4 units and gave them to family and friends to use. The feed back I received were very positive. One comment was that it was the best gadget that he had ever crried in his 1/2 ton truck.
    The gadget is a simple pole with a speacial hook on the end to pull items to the tail gate of a truck with a cap on the box. This gadget eliminates having to climb into th truck box to to retrieve items .
    This item should be in great demand for most owners of new 1/2 ton trucks due the boxes are so deep that the average person is unable to reach any articles in the box.
    this item is very simple to manufacture without a large outlay of money.
    I believe that with proper marketing this item should be a big seller both in Canada and tin the U.S.A.

  Leopard: Spaces 

  The multiple desktop implementation in Leopard, called Spaces, is exactly the way I wanted multiple desktops implemented.

  Switching apps automatically switches to the right desktop, alerts stay in the right place.

  Well done.

  Mario Kart Wii 

  Here’s some footage of Mario Kart Wii.

  I’m officially an old-man, casual gamer. I don’t have the time or desire to work through an 80 hour RPG or grind through a game like Devil May Cry.

  Games like Mario Kart Wii are perfect for me, sit down for 15 minutes and run a few tracks, done and done. Almost everything on the DS is a good fit as well. 15 minutes here and there, that’s all I can afford.

  I’m amazed at the people that can fit World of Warcraft into their lives, there is no way I could manage dedicating that amount of time to a game.

  Taking a week off of training. 

  This week is a rest week from CrossFit. There is a lot of research that suggests taking regular time off and maybe it’s right, who knows. I do know that the recovery time will be well received.

  This past weekend I subbed for meanPeace and got to play with Josee, one of the ladies from Capitals, the #1 East Coast womens touring teams. It was a great learning experience and I should have tried to get more advice, but I didn’t want to be an ass.

  And Laura took a picture of me seconds before I ripped my finger open on a nail. I’m so awesome.

    be honest, is that a part of the crossfit routine, or are you just horsing around?

    Horsing around. Oh ya.

  Beckhams scores. 

  Beckham scored last night as LA beat DC United 2-0 last night. He set up the other goal.

  Great to see him coming into form.
