Gmail breaks the 5GB barrier

I just noticed this. I'm using 1248MB of a possible 5061. That's 24%. I really should keep track of how much mail I have -- I think I'm keeping pace or exceeding Google's.

Google Maps has BC Transit Directions!

I just noticed this while doing some google mapping. No one believes me when I say it takes an hour to take transit to work and an 20 minutes to drive (I drive at 6:30AM, so it's faster than Google says)!

This is awesome because Translink's website is one of the worst I've used. It's not intuitive to find routes, buses, etc and it's slow.

CFL Needs An IT Wakeup Call

I'm currently playing around with Google Reader. I like it so far -- I can aggregate all the sites I visit into one play. Plus, it's all online, so I can get it from any computer or my blackberry. I can even view it offline with Google Gears.

I've been slowly adding feeds from the various news sources I scan. I went to add the BC Lions news feed. It doesn't exist from their website. I went and checked CFL's site as well. Again, no RSS feed linked off of their website. They both have news sections on their site, but no links to any feeds (and firefox didn't show its RSS icon).

I did find a feed by searching inside of google reader. It's useless though. It boils down to subject lines and the occasional description sentence. What's the point in that?

While I'm on the subject, they do a horrible job of updating their website with their scores. I was standing in line, waiting to get into Bard on the Beach one night. I was missing a game and tried to browse online using my blackberry to check the score. I never found it.

Who's running this league anyway? No wonder it's always in financial trouble.
