Maybe my day isn’t as bad as I thought it was….
Capt. Brian Bews parachutes to safety Friday as his CF-18 fighter jet plummets to the ground during a practice flight at the Lethbridge County Airport for the weekend airshow in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Bews was treated at a hospital for a sore back and scraped arms and released Friday. "All of a sudden you could hear 'pop, pop, pop,'" witness Roland Booth told CTV News. "I saw sparks come out of the one engine. The plane started banking over to the side. That's when the pilot bailed out with his parachute."

We planted strawberries in a garden in our backyard and we have been getting tiny berries from the plants this summer. They are amazingly delicious.
Background information, SpiderOak is an on-line backup utility that stores your data on ‘the cloud’ so in the event of a hardware failure, accidental deletion or catastrophe you have a versioned back-up copy. Two of the coolest things are that the data is stored encrypted in a zero knowledge environment (SpiderOak can’t read your data), and you can back-up multiple PCs with a single, shared account.
Today, the latter of the two features turns out to be awesome….
While trying to get some work done a particular Death Cab for Cutie song came into my head that I wanted to jam to. I went to my Blackberry and to my dismay I didn’t have it on there. Sulking, I began to work on updating my Program Governance Plan (boring I know).
Seconds later I remembered SpiderOak! I opened the utility, browsed to our home computer’s music file, found the album I wanted to listen to and downloaded it. And shazam! – I’m rocking out to Death Cab.
