Duncan's Journal: Should it be a Felony to Cover the Oil Spill? -
The Coast Guard has set up newer and tighter restrictions in the Gulf. Ones that would have prevented the TEDxOilSpill Expedition team from getting some of the photos we took. In short, there’s a 65-foot “safety zone” around any response vessels or booms on the water or on beaches. As reported…
Greetings from camp! I rolled into Edgewater Park in Mount Vernon, WA just after 3pm — 130km and about five hours after leaving the start line in Surrey. The morning got off to a bit of a hectic start; I arrived at the start line with plenty of time to spare, only to find that I’d left my helmet and gloves — fairly important pieces of kit — at home in Vancouver. Thankfully I was able to race out to New West and borrow a helmet from my dad (thanks!) and I was soon on the road. Many (many, many) miles later, I’m now at the halfway point, enjoying a beverage and waiting for my time in the massage tent (7:15 — if I can stay awake that long).
Thank you so much for your support! There are over two thousand riders this year and we collectively raised over $9.2 million — up from the $6.9 million raised last year. $3,170 of that were fund that you helped me raise Last year’s funds are already being put to work; they helped purchase a second PET scanner for the BC Cancer Agency. To all those who donated to my ride: thank you. There is still time to donate; please encourage your friends and coworkers to visit http://grahamballantyne.com/ridetoconquercancer
If you get this in time, be sure to watch the CTV evening news tonight; they covered the ride today from the ground and the air, and are at camp now.

Thanks again, you don’t know how much I appreciate your support!
Days to go: 1:
Less than 24 hours until the start of the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer. A few people have asked if I’m nervous… the answer is “no”. I ride almost daily and I did the ride next year so I know what to expect. The only thing I’m nervous about is having to get up at the ass-crack of dawn and sleeping through the multiple alarms I’ll be setting tonight.
There’s still time to donate.
You’ll be able to follow my progress along the ride via Twitter — I’ll be posting from the road and camp.
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated — you’re an inspiration.
Who knew that Campbell River was such a Segway hotbed?
Sorry. The MUNI display can’t accept the VNC connection until someone dismisses the Flash memory error.
Little help?
2009 & 2010 Jerseys - Front:
My 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer jersey arrived in the mail today. It’s a bit different than last year’s.
Also, check out that low ride number. I was #1191 last year.
A perfectly acceptable solution:
I don’t understand why people are paying megabucks for iPad cases. I mean, do they get better than this? No freezer-burn!

Second, publishing the name, photographs, and personal information of the Apple engineer who lost the phone is irrelevant to the story. It was the dick move to end all dick moves. Gizmodo is, ostensibly, a gadget site. The interest of their readers in this saga regards the phone. Publishing his name did not clarify in the least bit how they obtained the phone. The people whose identities I’d like to know are those who obtained and then sold the phone, not the guy from Apple who lost it. There is no interest served by outing him other than taking sociopathic glee in making a public spectacle of someone who made a very serious but honest mistake.
This, I’m deeply offended by.
