I really enjoy doing the Grouse Grind and lately I've become more of a runner and triathlete. I will be competing in the Ironman Canada race on August 26, 2012 in Penticton. Please help me raise money for the reconstruction of schools in Haiti.

I like cooking when I have time, and have posted a few of my favourite recipes. I'm a big fan of Thai food and also of southern style barbecue. However, living in Vancouver I've only had the chance to visit a few barbecue restaurants.

I'm a sports fan and I regularly listen to Yankees games on the internet while I work on the computer. I also like to follow the University of Illinois teams. Take a look at how their football and basketball teams are doing. On a more humourous note, here is my favourite Dave Berry column, The Story of Roger and Elaine. Enjoy!

I'm very interested in health and wellness. I highly recommend reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. Here is a brief excerpt from the epilogue. You might be interested in watching this 90 minute lecture by Robert Lustig on fructose. After watching the lecture you can take a look at this spreadsheet with the fructose content of various foods, or this spreadsheet detailing the cost per 100 kcal of various foods. Here is an excerpt on longevity from a book by Desmond Morris. Mental health is, of course, just as important as physical health. Make sure you are not guilty of any cognitive distortions. And if you are already familiar with cognitive therapy, or rational emotive behavior therapy, then you might find this REBT form helpful.

Finally, here is my father's obituary.
