Hiking in St. Catherines
via ilovemywine.to by Troy on June 18, 2008
One of my goals is to hike the entire 800km Bruce Trail from Niagara at the south end to Tobermory at the north end. Every couple of weekends when I have some time I chip away at another 10-20km. This past weekend I decided on a section near St. Catherines that coincidentally would take me past the Harbour Estates Winery that produces that amazing Midnight Harbour I wrote about earlier.

Archie McPhee's bacon-flavored dental floss
via Boing Boing Gadgets by John Brownlee on June 17, 2008
Archie McPhee is now selling bacon-flavored waxed floss for only $4.95 per container.

via ilovemywine.to by Troy on June 15, 2008
... or as little as required to adequately describe what I'm enjoying -- or not.After a brief late lunch excursion to a local store called the Outer Layer I came away with a Moleskin Cahier Pocket Plain in black. Measuring 3.5 x 5.5 inches and only 64 pages these things are tiny. Tiny enough that one will fit discretely in my pocket and always be there when I need to jot down a quick note.

via Ajaxian by (author unknown) on May 26, 2008
