Hay computer and camera geeks: How can I get data off a camera? I don't have a cable and I thought I'd grab one at Active surplus only to discover it's some sort of proprietary plug

Is there any place that copies data from a memory card to a CD cheaply?

I use a memory card reader. Not only is it faster than the camera download interface, but it supports both of my memory cards (SD and CF). I can't find the exact one I have on there, but they all basically do the same thing. Just make sure it supports the card type you're using.

So are there renewed calls for a common currency?

Thanks for the tips on the card readers you guys. Cheaper than I thought it would be so it's feasible. Unless one of you wants to just buy my car and I can just forget about the whole picture thing!

I think the GTA is sorely lacking a race series with as fine a credo as the Cyclocross Dress Race Series..



Also: Are we not men?!

hahaha.. actually when I was posting those things it was reminding me off your recent uber-silliness. Since you like the puns so much, this one is for you... worst/best visual pun evar:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/adele2006/280464775/.

Also, now I'm back to work. I was waiting on feedback from a client.. Now I have a page of point-form changes to make. wahoo!

Man, I would like to go for a ride but I'm kind of afraid. I had another 0 mph fall-over yesterday when I pulled up to Queen Video on College and I couldn't get my feet out of the straps, which I apparently tightened WAY too much. I was excited about how comfortable my new GR-9s are, so I really yanked the straps.

So as much as I'd like to meet you guys I kind of want to wait until I have more confidence that I won't look like another n00b ****** on a fixed gear. Which is basically what I am, I guess.

Nerdsgirth: this is why I kind of dodged your invitation to ride up to York. We should do that sometime, though.

Hey don't worry about it man. You're just a dude on a bike. We've ALL been there (the 0-mph fallover). This one time I was at Yonge and Dundas on a typical work day for me. For some reason I also had tightened my left strap way too much. When I pulled up to the light, I tried to pull my foot out and my foot just came out of my shoe, which stayed in the pedal, while I went down kind of half cursing/half laughing. There weren't too many witnesses luckily. Also, luckily it was a dry day.

The Halloween Cross race always brings out the interesting race kit. They do races on both Sat and Sun. I think I am gonna bust out last years costume for the cross this year.

No, searching for "Halloween". I never have any good costume ideas, so I figure I'll rip off someone else's nice and early. Or at least, that's what I'm saying now. By the time Halloween rolls around I'm sure I'll be in the same costumeless boat I am every year.
