Route: River Kingston Distance: 3.0 Miles Time: 24 min Pace: Easy Date: Tuesday, Apr 4th Comments: Good conditions, sore calves and shins. Hopefully legs will get better as I run more. Fixed my polar heart rate monitor, will be training against HR from now on.
Route: River + Park Distance: 5.6 Miles Time: 49min Pace: Very Slow Date: Sunday, Apr 2nd Comments: Very muddy conditions, had to walk some sections or risk falling. No traction and blister on left foot slowed pace. Still feeling the pain in muscles rather than CV.

Distance: 4 Miles, 6391m Time: Slow Pace: Slow comments: Very sore calves, tight ankle ligaments and a nice blister from previous 6 mile run, did not make for a fast pace.
I need to write this down or else I will probably give in later in the year and buy a MacBookPro. I am not that impressed, its hardly a radical change in many important ways. The battery life is far from impressive, its not particularly light the remote control seems gimmicky and easily lost on a laptop. The design is attractive but hardly a huge step forward over the existing aluminium powerbooks and most importantly there is no performance improvement for all the apps I used day to day. Photoshop, Illustrator & Dreamweaver. As Adobe has just announced there will be no universal binary of its apps until CS3, I will hold out until then and wait for apple to include Intel's next generation mobile processor Merom, which should improve both battery life and performance. Of course waiting 9 months will also help me save enough money to actually buy one.
It has been said before and shown in many places that you cannot have a true democracy without freedom of speech. That is what makes these cases so destructive, it gives the illusion of a democracy, but the reality is quite different
Submissions (Revised with additional references) As the AG has preferred a charge against me, I believe I am entitled to a trial here I can call witnesses to demonstrate the truth of my tatements and to document with precision how the courts in Singapore have been used by the PAP Government to maintain its chokehold on the country.I have said before I will not run away. I am here to face my accuser and the very people whom I have criticised. I am here to speak the ruth, whatever the consequences may bring. f you are going to charge me for contempt of court, at least have the ecency to allow me the opportunity to defend myself. There is othing honorable in a fight wherein you bind and incapacitate your opponent.
Defamation without trial
Got out this afternoon on a beautiful day for a 7 mile hike in South West Washington. It was a lovely quiet hike along a creek, completely unspoilt with fantastic clear green water and the sunlight filtering through the trees. Would be amazing in the summer when you can leap off the bridges into the cool clean water. I managed to take quite a few photos but as ever with forest hikes there really isn't a great deal of light and without a tripod many of them came out less than ideal. I will get the best of them uploaded to flickr over the coming days. This would be a whole hell of a lot easier if there was a plugin for aperture that let me send directly to flickr. This and all the other performance issues are making me think of switching back to iPhoto. Its fantastic here that you can get out of the city and in an hour be in beautiful wilderness with only the occasional person on the trail. Certainly cleared out the system after several days of fairly hard evenings including a ridiculously late St Patrick Day party. There is certainly something great about the fatigue you feel after a long days hike in the outdoors, a kind of fresh tiredness that is worlds away from the nervous exhaustion of a hard day at work. Its been a hectic weekend and I will add more about it as I recover from the events I should be writing about.
Had a good night of pure Americana, pizza, pool and beer. Love the way this picture came out on my phone, great colours and the triangle in the foreground just works. Pure accident of course much like my pool playing.
hayden and i on the way to mt hood Hayden and I headed out on a road trip around the Portland area. Checking out the Columbia River Gorge and up Mt Hood. Unbelievably good weather for this time of year! Heading out shortly for Ethiopian food, but first to sample some fantastic Oregon Pinot Noir.
I am slowly settling into Portland and getting over the jet lag, though I am still surprisingly happy to jump out of bed at 5am! Had a great day of American cuisine yesterday and it may well go down as the highest cholestrol day of my life! Started out with a great fried breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausages and toast followed by a fantastic philly cheese steak at one of the carts in downtown. Its been a long time since I had a really good cheese steak and it was a great reunion. This left only dinner time to go, what else but the great American hamburger. Stanich's is the classic dive, college sports on the TV, cheerful and overweight waitresses sports memorabillia on the wall and a fantastic burger. Voted Portland's best on numerous occasions the special was damn good. It even featured my favorite burger topping, fried egg. Pickles are put on the side in case you don't like them, no danger for me so they went right into that big old burger, and then right into me! All this washed down with a jug of fantastic micro brewed weissbier. Looks like its back to muelsi and salad tomorrow!
