It's been a fun time, 105 episodes over 3 years or so, but On the Log has run its course.

Time for a change, and I am focussing more of my time on photography these days; the level of enthusiasm isn't what it was, and to churn out what to my mind would be second-rate material would do a disservice to everyone involved.

I strongly suspect Podcasting and I aren't done, but at the very least it's time for separate vacations :-)

To my listeners, supporters, guests etc. all I can say is thanks for everything!

After an absence of over a month, i'm back with a discussion on bicycles again with Todd Tyrtle. We start off with a discussion of Todd's biking for AIDS treatment project (and all support is greatly appreciated!!), then move to a discussion on the contrasting attitudes towards transportation between Netherlands cities and Toronto.
