I think the only Disney film I've ever looked forward to seeing was Bambi, for it's June 20, 1975 release. I was four years old.

Well, I've got another to add to the list: Morning Light.

I'm not a movie-ista by any stretch, but I can imagine this film going reasonably well, or horribly wrong. Got any predictions?

Burt, (DeepRockDrive's director, not the Ernie's buddy), has built a killer description video on how to use the DeepRockDrive Player.

The coolness of the player is an important part of the experience, because these shows are not just about watching an act... they're about interacting with the band, and with the fans who are there.

Check it out!

Following my nose around the internet a little, I've discovered a rather cool utility that gives you up to the 'several minutes ago' weather info for wide regions in southern BC, thanks to a grid of sensors hosted at the region's schools.

Here are the links to get you started.

• Gulf Islands windspeed
• Gulf Islands All variables
• Southern Vancouver Island

For all you British Columbia sailors out there, if you're interested in seeing the very latest data (the update time is something like every 10 minutes). I don't think it would be that hard to receive this onto your cell phone in the middle of the race (iPhone, &c.). That's a hot tip for the upcoming 'Round Salt Spring Race.

Perhaps this'll help me improve my "last finisher" result in the recent Salt Spring Island "No Flying Sails" race. :-)

Unless all the other racers read this blog, and bring their cell phones for wind maps.
