		<title>Vancouver 2010 wrap-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I suppose I should say a little about how I ended up going to the Olympics in Vancouver.  Since Vancouver was first awarded the Games back in 2003 &#8212; which incidentally happened while I was visiting the nearby city of Seattle &#8212; I had wanted to go.  I had even told my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closing Ceremony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Sunday evening I attended the Closing Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Although the ceremony started at 5:30pm, we the audience needed to be in our seats by 4:30 for our rehearsal. Working back from that, allotting extra time for lineups at security and aiming to avoid the craziness that would be downtown [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short track speed skating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ On Friday I attended some short track speed skating finals at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. I was really excited to attend speed skating; if there&#8217;s one sport I could do at the Winter Olympics, I think it would be speed skating. 
 There were three finals being held that night: men&#8217;s 500m, women&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Men&#8217;s Aerials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I attended the finals for men&#8217;s aerials freestyle skiing at Cypress Mountain just north of Vancouver.  It was the second of my flying events &#8212; after ski jumping a few days ago in Whistler &#8212; and it was great!
 Twelve athletes had qualified from the earlier rounds &#8212; 3 Canadians, 2 Americans, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Biathlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I attended the women&#8217;s 4&#215;6km biathlon relay at the Whistler Olympic Park with the Cotton family.  
 In the biathlon relay, there are 19 teams, each composed of four people.  Each person does a 6km relay leg: 2km skiing, a shooting round lying prone on the ground, 2km skiing, a shooting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ski jumping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This week&#8217;s updates are coming from the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. When I had first found out 7 years ago that the games were coming to Vancouver, I intended to attend, but I only won a single ticket in the ticket lottery. I decided that wasn&#8217;t enough to merit coming across the Pacific [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turn Airport Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This always amuses me whenever I&#8217;m travelling and using my computer in an airport.  (For non-Apple users, &#8220;AirPort&#8221; is what Apple calls wireless networking.)

		<title>Kayaking in Milford Sound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The day after taking a cruise on Doubtful Sound in New Zealand with my parents, I went on a guided kayaking tour on Milford Sound, another fjord in New Zealand&#8217;s Fiordland National Park.  
 Besides seeing it differently because I was kayaking, Milford is quite different from Doubtful.  If you take a [...]]]></description>

		<title>$18.9 billion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t write about political issues very often on my blog, but this is one that&#8217;s been nagging at me for a while.
Earlier this month, Canada&#8217;s Parliamentary Budget Officer issued a pre-budget reporting predicting the Federal government would have an $18.9 billion structural deficit in 2013-14.  Government ministers say the number&#8217;s not right, though [...]]]></description>
