Decal residuum…

July 12, 2003

Why is it that companies insist on slathering their products in non-removable paper decals that leave a disagreeable residue behind? This evening I helped Kelly assemble her Fluval 404 for the new fish tank and it was covered in warning decals that were impossible to remove! Warranty decals. Price labels. Copyright labels. Advertising labels. Open […]

Yawn

Another two miles on the elliptical and half an hour in the pool last night. Felt really good to move around now that the weather has cooled off.

Citation of the day…

Solving problems is for weenies…we just sweep them under the rug! – Steve Magoun Retort: Good hackers have the amazing ability to write flawless code. Great hackers have the ability to take someone else’s munged dribble and make it work.

Spamblogging?

Just in case you don’t already get enough spam you can pipe email straight into your Weblog!

Regurgitawhat?

Imagine coming home after a long Fourth of July weekend to an extremely hot house. Now, imagine a rather interesting and unidentifiable smell wafting through the kitchen as you open the door. Then, after being unable to track down the odor, forget about it for a while and go to bed…only to wake up the […]

Preceding recursion?

I’ve made some major changes to the site. Most authors, after making such changes, would post a Web site update. But such major changes are blatantly obvious to the reader so why bother to outline them?

Is a six mile traffic jam worth a quarter?

In the woods of Pennsylvania there is a route commonly known as 209. Every once in a while, this route mysteriously splits into 209 and 209 business to separate the local traffic from the through traffic. And, at each of these forks, is usually a traffic light that creates a fairly long pileup as drivers […]

Now supporting VoiceMonkey audio entries.

July 10, 2003

While GeoBlogging last night I ran across a post about the VoiceMonkey service for adding audioblogs to your Web site using a phone! Although there is a toll free number available, mobile phone users with unlimited long distance should be inclined to use the toll number to save the developer some cash.

Dimensional warp generator needed…

I’ve been getting copies of the dimensional warp generator email for years. Looks like quite a few other people have been receiving it as well. 07/28/2003 Update: I’ve received another email which suggests the Warp Generator will be ready for pickup on July 28, 2003 at 3:00 PM in Woburn, MA! 07/28/2003 Update: There were […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter).
