3. I love computers and have been working with them since I was 5. My first computer my parents bought me, I took apart on the first day and put it back together without a sweat. All my technology\computer knowledge has been self taught, learned by doing is what I believe in.

4. My favourite cuisines are: Italian, Vietnamese, and Japanese. Living in Vancouver I am exposed to and have easy access to many ethnic delicacies.

5. I have never been drunk or sick from drinking, but it has been a while since I drank hard. I know my body is not like my young self.

Legos

I’ve always loved building with legos blocks. It is amazing the things you can build with them.

If you want to virtually relive your childhood, Lego provides a program called the LEGO Digital Designer to virtualy create your creations.

Alternative Fuel Cars

Now that gas prices are hovering at the 1.45cent\litre mark people have started to reconsider driving. It has effected everything from your grocery bill to travel costs. More and more people are staying home for vacations instead of going on road trips or hopping on to a plane.

Have you considered an alternative vehicle type like a Hybrid or electric vehicle? The Tesla Roadster is one the world’s only electric vehicle capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. That should satisfy the gear heads for performance.

I have been thinking a lot about creating a hybrid vehicle that runs on vegetable oil aka Frybrids. There are several companies offering the conversion kits, which will convert a diesel car to run on both vegetable oil and diesel. A 2000+ model VW Jetta is capable of running close to 1000km per diesel tank and add 900km on the frybrid system, that is some very good fuel economy.

For more information on electric alternatives I suggest visiting Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association
