Stupid stuff.

Yeah, I’m watching the Star Wars marathon on Cinemax HD

November 11, 2006

I’m totally lame. Literally. I torqued my ankle a few days ago so I’m now couch-bound and glued to Cinemax HD watching the Star Wars marathon since they’re playing all six episodes back to back. I had grand plans to start installing the composite floor in the loft above the Trunkmonkey Racing garage but it […]

Call out Gouranga be happy

October 27, 2006

Sometimes Spam makes me smile. Sometimes Spam is artistic. Sometimes Spam is almost Zen-like. And I’m especially amused when Spammers forget to include a link in their prose. Call out Gouranga be happy Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga! That which brings the highest happiness

Taken from RISKS Digest 24.43: Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 10:45:49 -0700 From: Matt Wilbur <[email protected]> Subject: Careful with that Fedex account number Sending packages with Fedex is now easier than ever, thanks to the fedex.com website. Unfortunately, it’s too easy. In most cases, if you know a company’s account number, you can send whatever […]

They do more than just protect you…

One of my co-workers called me over to his desk this afternoon to show me an e-mail thread that had been bouncing around between a few of his family members. It went something like this: Original E-mail: Save those old phone bills! NY Times Article USA Today Article If you can’t access those articles for […]

Teh OT is down!

October 26, 2005

Wilma took down Teh OT. I foresee workplace productivity going up exponentially this week. 😉 That is unless OTters are savvy enough to find Teh Barn.

A little bit of my inner child just died…

September 10, 2005

Go to LEGOS.com. Right now. Go ahead…I’ll wait. OK, back? Good. After nearly three decades of knowing and loving LEGOS as, well, LEGOS, the LEGO Group Companies have to go and destroy a little bit of my inner child: The word LEGO® is a brand name, and is very special to all of us at […]

  • 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 […]

    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page.
