Shorter then expected

After doing some household tasks this evening (Marty did bills and I put cadance sensors on the SS bikes) we headed out for a ride to the beach. Till I got a flat after 2 1/2 miles. Since we were so close to home, there wasn’t much time left for riding, and we still had [...]

Digital Rights Mismanagement

A year or so ago, I purchases an anti-DRM shirt on the interweb.  It was amazing to me how many people had no idea what DRM was, and I was often asked what the shirt meant (giving me a chance to give my little soap box speech on DRM)
But, people are starting to get a [...]

I love it when a plan comes together!

Spinning our Asses off

Despite some early rain, Marty and I headed out and did some long rail trail and backroad riding.
We got up sort of early, and checked out the weather.  There was a small system moving through, but it looked weak, and nothing coming behind it.  So we tossed the bikes onto the Jeep, and headed to [...]

Two Wrongs

While I obviously completely support punishing these rich US citizens that have been avoiding taxes by hiding their money overseas, should we REALLY be supporting a self-appointed do-gooder who broke the law by reveling the identities of these tax evaders?
Why is OK to break the law to expose people who are breaking the law?  What [...]

iHappy 2.0

Getting my iPhone 2.0 update and downloading some cool apps is a great way to start a weekend!
Great end to a frustrating week.

..if it’s not too much trouble for you..

Because I have a work event in Farmington to attend today, I rode into work with Marty.  As we were getting onto I-696 at Gratiot, I noticed a state police car sitting along side of the enterance ramp, watching 696 for speeders..
Or, so I thought.

No more then 10 seconds later, as we got onto 696, [...]
