A co-worker just showed me a great option for a thesaurus. It’s called Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus. A very cool looking java application that has provides some funky animation while you are looking up words that have the same meaning as “jackass”. I was able to find some great adjectives for my co-worker. You can try out a few words for free, but most of the content requires a purchase or subscription.

Here is a wild game that isn’t like anything you’ve played before, it’s called Arcade Reality. This is a first person shooter style game that you control by moving your Palm Treo around. It uses the camera to sense the movement and overlays the “bad guys” over the image your camera sees. It is almost like the asteroids and targets are sitting on your wall, desk, or whatever else is around you. I thought it would be pretty stupid and boring game, but it is really very cool.

I only bike to the Ferry terminal from downtown Vancouver about once a year. And I always forget the trick of getting through the George Massey Tunnel to get to the Tawasen / Tawwassen / Tswasen (I can never spell it right) ferry terminal.

Unless you like playing chicken with cars going 80-120kph and nowhere to go to get out of the way.

So here’s some information to help get you through it all.

I am planning to use this blog to share my bike commuting experiences in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I ride to work every day and I think I have some good information that other bikers may find interesting. I’ll share reviews of biking gear and also post rants and raves about how the city, motorists and other cyclists are behaving on the roads.
