the gmail spell checker was making me second-guess myself until i realized it was americanizing my english. i've changed the setting to uk english.
this clip is always amusing
i just noticed jian's screen says "if this really goes sideways, i have new neil, new metric standing by" - obviously a message from his producer.

Apparently I am still in the top 25 without the error. I estimate I did about 1000km on BIXI (pronounced bike-sie in English according to Kevin). This was all done in 8 min trips.
I just got the below email. There was an administrative error that said I had a bike out for 3 months - I asked them to verify that I am still in the running when discounting this mistake. If so - since I am a HUGE fan of BIXI - I think I'll do it...
Letter:

bixi and sympatico should have gotten their acts together in the first few days of bixi (probably mostly sympatico's fault). when bixi servers are overloaded they redirect the site to 70.38.15.10 - an ip that was being blocked by sympatico. seems to be ok now.

I found this song on my computer - I recorded it late at night on October 16, 2007. I have vague memories of doing so....I would have to figure out the song from scratch by listening to it....but I know it is in "Nick Drake" tuning. I guess I was thinking about music for soundtracks....
This is it

Retrieved from the current (Jan 14, 2009) wikipedia entry on Charles Leblond:
To mark his 65th birthday in 1975, Leblond was honored at an international symposium on the existence of stem cells in adult tissues; the resulting book, Stem Cells of Renewing Cell Populations, was the first formal, comprehensive account on the subject.[16]

Hmmm - my dad edited the first book on stem cells....
