Ironman for the kitchen
I was browsing through some appliences the other day, and lord knows how I’ve lived without this feature so far. When I saw it listed under the features section, I thought “cool, a Black Sabbath theme for the kitchen, that’s something I could get use to”…

Whoa, heads are starting to roll
When an entire team is playing badly, you fire the coach.
What does it mean? A Province writer speculated (in an eerily prescient article) that this sort of firing might increase the chance of Bert staying.

The reverse huli
I went out in some fairly wavey waters yesterday, to a bit past Stanley Park.
The newbie habit of leaning left when a wave hits is still with me, and I suppose I'll have it until I get a bit more comfortable with riding the waves.
A funny thing though... after we finished riding the waves in, I noticed that my ama was starting to sink. Not a good thing, especially when you're still 2 kilometres from the dock. I did make it back to the dock without doing a reverse huli, but only by leaning way right and paddling like a gimped dragonboater. It didn't help that the ama was basically a massive drag in the water. After we got it, I found out that the iako hole in the ama was pushed all the way through, and the floation chamber in the ama was completely flooded. I'm just glad I didn't have swim back to the dock. The water was still pretty cold.

Oh dear Allah! You killed Akbar!
Looks like AirArabia has started using some cartoon characters on their website. Amusing thing is they look a LOT like they stepped right out of South Park.
