Rosarito Ensenada Bike Ride: The Original Party on Wheels
So this past weekend I joined 10,000 other crazy bicyclists on a 50 mile journet from Rosarito to Ensenada. It was a great ride. It wasn't the 50 miles that was difficult. It is something known as "the hill" and anyone that has done this course will tell you, its not easy. 2 miles straight up a mountain at 7.5 percent grade. And your not even done after that. You still have 3 more small hills to climb after that. I had to walk the last couple hills just like everyone else. But then you get the fun of going back down the hill on an 8 mile journey down the other side back to the coast! Join me next ride on April 21, 2007!

ABC relaunches online media player with hit shows such as "Lost"
So recently I decided to give up on TV. Thats right, I now live in a home without a single television in it. Even though the average american home has more TV's then children now, I dont have a single one. But I used to have one, and I used to be able to watch my favorite show, Lost. With the seasing premeir of the third season just a few days away, I have been desperate to find a way to watch the episodes without paying for them or having to go to a friends house once a week to watch. Thank you ABC, becuase now I can watch Lost and many other of their shows on the Internet for free right here!
Some other free online media I have found useful:
Vidoo : Watch Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, USA, CNN, Comedy Central, Animal Planet with their free downloadable player
ABC News
10 News San Diego
CNET TV
Democracy: The free internet TV platform
CBS's Innertube
