Florida Crew Alumni Search

Hey, Florida Crew Alumni! One of the current rowers, Kerri Riva, is attempting to find everyone. If you used to row for UF, drop her a line and let her know how to find you. Hell, drop me a line and let me know how to find you. (I highly doubt she’s trying to get

ShuffleI just read about Matt running with a Shuffle. My 40GB is much too big to take on a run. I’ve always wanted to run with music, but have never been able to get around the clunkiness factor. I’m finally getting back to running and rowing. I’ve pulled three four five 6k+, 30min ergs in the last week, too. Maybe I’ll be forced to buy one…

Nude, and loving it – The members of Scotland‘s Robert Gordon University Crew team, who, according to captain Andrew Shannon, are training in the buff to “find out what natural assets we have for rowing.” The team, which has braved wintry conditions while preparing for next month’s Aberdeen Universities boat race, consists of four female rowers, four male rowers, and a female cox.

None work. I’ve tried all the internet people-finders and looker-uppers. No dice. Then I thought, “Maybe he reads

David Rows

Here are five shots of me rowing. I sat two-seat for almost every race. These pictures do not do the sport justice.

Well the UF College of Health and Human Performance has finally decided to allow Florida Crew to post their page again. If you’ve never been to the site, spend a few minutes there. When I was on crew [the jurassic period] my boat once whipped a boat from RPI. When you beat a crew on the water (if it’s a *real* race) the losers have to give their shirts to the winners. I am the only one I know that owns a red RPI tank top. My best friend and his older brother both went to RPI for a time. I could go on for pages, but the point is that there is no point to this post …

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
