Torrent racing
This is the hottest game to sweep the Internet since Googling people.
Here's how to play:
Even though Justin started 30s ahead, I beat him by just over a minute! He took a substantial early lead, but I pulled through from behind!
Until next week! Same time, different place (Vancouver and San Francisco as opposed to Winnipeg and Toronto).
In other racing news...
I raced a tram (streetcar) down Bathurst from Harbord to Adelaide (~3 subway stops, well, 1.88 km to be exact) on my way to some volleyball. Despite all the traffic on the sidewalks, I pulled through on this one by about half a block. I only had to push 2 people onto the tracks to slow the tram down and run one red to pull it off. I still attest that rollerblading is the fastest mode of transportation in downtown.
Here's how to play:
- You and at least one friend download the same torrent file (eg. the episode of 24 that just aired 40 min. ago)
- Run the torrent in your program of choice at the same time
- Make bets and see who wins!

last time I was in Toronto some guy ran across the street right in front of a streetcar. The driver actually stopped the tram, got out, and started yelling at the guy. Right in the middle of the street! It was awesome!
When I was in Toronto last summer I was following Vince somewhere and he lead me across the street and then we went back again and I had to cut infront of one of those bus things and the driver yelled at me. He didn't get out to do it though. I think transit people need more hugs.
What? I don't remember that! I don't know how comfortable I am with you painting a picture of me as some delinquent jaywalker.
