An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland’s most mysterious lake.
See the video footage of Nessie at CNN.
Yay! There’s finally a local source for Boeshield T9 — a metal lubricant and protector developed by Boeing for airplane parts.
While I don’t really have room in the driveway for an airplane, I do have a number of bikes. T9 works extremely well as a long lasting and multi-weather lubricant for bike chains.
According to the Boeshield folks, “Road cyclists can get about 300+ miles (500Km) per application. In wet weather riding reapply after half that distance. For off road riding reapply after one quarter that distance, more frequently if conditions require. For best performance, ‘apply tonight, ride tomorrow’. ”
Lee Valley now carries the Boeshield T9 in both a bottle and aerosol can. The bottles are great, as they don’t take up much room in your pack, and a little goes a long way.
I’m looking forward to trying this lubricant in the winter, as Boeing states the T9 lubricant excels in damp environments.
For more info, visit the Boeshield Canada site, or Lee Valley Tools’ site.
My old ’84 Jimmy has a personality much like Mater, from the movie Cars.
I decided to make that personality a little more visible. If you want to “cars-ize” your ride, check out the NASIOC site for detailed how-tos.
Here’s Little Jimmy. 
The wonderful folks at Smashing Magazine have posted an amazing collection of links and references to freebie icons, buttons and templates.
I now have a new favourite food topping, and with the name “Gluttony” you know it has to taste good.
Made by The Cape Herb & Spice Company, in Cape Town, Africa, this mixture of rock crystal sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate or butterscotch turns the simplest of desserts into something new.
Using the bottle’s grinder, it’s easy to sprinkle this crunchy topping onto ice cream, coffee, fresh fruit and anything else that tickles your taste buds.
Not only is the topping delicious, but the company itself has a good focus on social responsibility — whether it’s their use of recycled and recyclable products or the free assistance and programs they offer their employees — the whole package is just plain sweet.
