Gene Therapy in Sports
Taken from http://www.popsci.com/ Dreams of Olympic glory could make athletes risk their lives on an experimental procedure Steroids seem so last-decade, now that gene therapy has caught the eye of athletes looking for a competitive edge. But scientists warn that gene therapy still represents a high-risk, experimental practice even within medicine, and that athletes could endanger their... »

I was doing a little research on how you could recover your stolen iPhone if it ever happened to go astray and came across this story. It's goes over how one guy tracked his iPhone down without mercy. It... »
More Tech Stuff
This email was passed onto me from a friend of mine. I am not sure how true this story is but its cool none the less. SR-71 Blackbird In April 1986, following an attack on American soldiers in a Berlin disco, President Reagan ordered the bombing of Muammar Qaddafi's terrorist camps in Libya . My duty was to fly over Libya and... »
Crazy “Sport” People
Most of the stuff i put on here has something, at least a little bit, to do with sports. Whether you consider it a sport is up to you. Not to sure if everyone will consider this a sport, i assume all he had to do to complete this 'mission' was just jump once.... and then let things happen. But one... »
The BMW Orcle Racing boat
I don't know how I found this boat but, I can tell you I was blown away when I did. The BMW Oracle Racing team is an American sailboat racing syndicate and has some of the most cutting edge technology to help them go fast. The boat is a 90-ft. LWL, 90-ft. beam... »
Been A While
I know it's been a while since I have posted something (thanks for reminding me Bird), but I have been damn busy over the holidays. To keep all you avid TripleC readers satisfied here are some vids. This one is from some footage I took on New Years Ski trip down to Fernie soon. I headed down with a few of Meghan's... »
Cool New Toy
This was passed onto me today by a fellow cyclist. Some interesting stuff down at Interbike. While a power meter is certainly an important tool for a professional cyclist, the bulk of them are of course sold to amateurs who misinterpret their amateur status and poor results as signs that they need to spend a... »
JCB Facts for the day
Some facts to ponder. Put together by JCB. In the developing world, people who climb out of poverty change their diet from grains and beans to pork and beef. Since 1950, per capita consumption of meat worldwide more than doubled. In the 70’s, people in the US ate 90 lbs. of red meat... »
TDF Riders on Twitter
Just because I am working (or supposed to be) while all the action is happening in the Tour de France, and I don't have a TV at home, doesn't mean that I have to miss all the action. I did a little search on the 'interweb' and found out that Versus has a live online feed of the race. Not... »
Amazing future of surgery
Surgeon and inventor Catherine Mohr tours the history of surgery (and its pre-painkiller, pre-antiseptic past), then demos some of the newest tools for surgery through tiny incisions, performed using nimble robot hands. Fascinating -- but not for the... »
Personalized Bike Lane
Found this via twitter on cool hunting.. i need to get one. A few months ago the LightLane personal bike path was merely a competition entry in conceptual phase. Using high powered laser beams mounted to bicycle seat posts, the light generated so much interest that the designers took it into development. Alex Tee, a... »
Make your own frame
Have you ever wondered if you could make your own carbon bike frame? With the costs of carbon bikes these days you might think it would just be easier and/or cheaper to just head down to home depot, get some carbon and start shaping up your new frame.... with a few more steps of course. If you know a little... »
Biological Passport Programme
On my google homepage (iGoogle) I have a link that searches google news feeds and gives me the most popular cycling articles at that moment. It a cool thing to have, and it keeps me up to date with what's happening in the cycling world. Now that summer is here I am paying a bit more attention to... »
Wolfram|Alpha – My brain mass = 3.2 lb
I found this via the Google news page the other day and thought it was really cool - http://www.wolframalpha.com/ I am planning on going back to school sometime and think this page could be very useful as it expands. Is Wolfram|Alpha a search engine? No. It's a computational knowledge engine: it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge... »
Cervelo II
Here is part II of the Cervelo videos. This deals more with the technology and wind tunnel testing. I have never seen a wind tunnel but it would be a blast to see everything that goes on in there. Aerodynamics is so important in cycling these days I can see why Cervelo puts so much time and effort into making... »
Helmet Cam III
Another great post from cyclingtipsblog.com Check out the intense helmet cam race wade went to. I wish we got that turn out at the races here in Canada. I got myself a new MinoFLIP HD the other day and might have to give the whole helmet cam thing a try. Now if only I could find a race that I can... »
The Cost Of Bike Repair
I have been lucky enough to work in a bike shop and know how to fix the majority of the bike issues that I come across. I worked at Soma Cycle a few years back and was able to learn a lot about road bikes and how to maintain and... »
School, Racing, Cervelo, and Beats
I should finally find out about school this week. For those of you who have been watching the countdown clock at the bottom of the page you might have noticed that it is a bit overdue. I guess the architectural office here at Dalhousie was moved into a new space last week and... »
Your new cervelo could be illegal!
Professional cycling is in a heated struggle among its governing body, its teams and the companies that manufacture expensive equipment over what is a legal racing bike. The International Cycling Union abruptly alerted teams at the start of this season that it intends to clarify and reinterpret its often oblique rules governing bicycle design... »
Green? Car or Bike?
I commute to work every day, and have been for years. I do it for a number of reasons, fist being that since my move out to Halifax I am car less. Even if i did have a car right now I assure you I would be on my bike every morning. I save countless... »
