And what were you looking for again?

July 10, 2003

Kelley has found some rather amusing search keywords in her Web server logs. Although most search requests coming into my sites are right on target, occasionally I get some truly odd ones.

Everything worth saying has already been said…

July 9, 2003

Not only has everything worth saying already been said, but it seems that someone else said it before me! To add insult to injury, I said it myself two months ago and didn’t even remember.

The World as a Blog

Mikel Maron’s GeoBlog accepts standard pings from GeoTagged Weblogs and displays authors and lurkers visibly on a world map. Update: Hitting [tab] and [shift]-[tab] while the mouse is sitting on the world map will jump from dot to dot and display the most recent entry.

Steal these buttons!

I’d always been quite annoyed by most “powered by” icons because they were intrusive and snide. “Best viewed with Internet Explorer” simply translates to “I’m too lazy to make this page look decent in all browsers”. Because of this fact I always kept all of my sites and pages free of any extraneous buttons or […]

Gym sickness?

It appears that I’ve acquired some new horrible disease from the local gym…hopefully it’s one of those quietly annoying twenty-four hour things. I’m always quite anal when it comes to washing myself thoroughly after touching any surface where nude sweaty men prance around but it seems that a few microbes have definitely made their way […]

Back to the gym.

July 8, 2003

I’ve been slacking for the past month and have only made it to the gym a few times. Between work, cleaning the house and preparing for parental visits I really haven’t had the time and, even had I made time, I really wouldn’t have been up to it. I finally made it back to the […]

More Hacker’s Diet converts…

Ronaldo M. Ferraz has a quick writeup on The Hacker’s Diet and Richard Tallent has been at it for a few months now. Jeremy Sharlack has also started his Fitness Blog based on The Hacker’s Diet and The Atkins Diet.

TrackBack

One of these days I’m going to have to figure out this TrackBack stuff.

Our office building is inhabited by freaks…

It seems that someone in our office building has an extremely odd sense of humor or they are seriously disturbed. Every once in a while the stall in the bathroom has dozens of little balled up pieces of toilet paper piled up in the corner. Each wad has been meticulously rolled up to be uniform […]

Derp error of the week award!

And this week’s derp error of the week goes to Evidence Eliminator…a piece of bunk that I won’t even grace with a URL for fear of some poor sap actually purchasing it. While randomly surfing I ran across a popup that fired this wonderful piece of prose. Clicking either OK or Cancel brings you to […]

Trunkmonkey Racing

  • 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 […]
  • Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix
    What’s the best way to wind down after a hard day of trail building and mountain biking? Alcohol and bacon of course! And how do we combine the two into a single snack for uncomplicated gluttonous consumption? With Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix! […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh! From their Web site: It was my wish for our children to benefit from these same outdoor adventures as well as my passion for […]
  • Fezzari unveils revamped Web site and shiny new 2014 models!
    Fezzari has totally revamped its Web site and unleashed the new Timp Peak 650b line as part of its new 2014 lineup. Check out all the new models on their Web site.
  • 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). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]

    Order at Amazon or Adorama. The PowerShot D20 is the latest generation of Canon’s waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, and dustproof D-series point and shoot camera line.
