Now this is a bike tour. Apparently there are parts of the tour where you get your very own armed guard (like in Sudan). Pretty sweet though, and 3 months of fun for around 10.5k is not so bad.

Seen Hackers? The opening credits kick off with Orbital’s Halcyon and On and On set to a flyover. I had a moment like that this eve at twightlight. The light was just right, the road was completely deserted, and the tune came on via random play. The next thing I knew, I was doing 140 […]

It’s finding stuff like this that makes the interweeb fun to browse. Not so fun is realizing you’re a bit of a sick fuck for finding it really funny, and wanting one. I think I’ll be buying myself an early Christmas present or two. Threadless is a great idea – a place for designers/artists to […]

I’ve been using the new(ish) Polar 625X, and I have to say I’m impressed. It measures pretty much anything you’d want it to while running – heart rate, speed, distance, altitude (for incline/decline info), pace, and temperature – and also works with a couple cycling attachments to do all of the above plus cadence and […]

This arrived in my inbox this afternoon. Maybe I’m a tiny bit cynical, becuase I found it to be one of those “it’s funny ’cause it’s true” kind of deals: As I mature I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give […]

Ok, a couple of time-wasters, since it’s Friday. First, we have a clip from Whose Line is it Anyways that had me in tears. Next up is a flinch-inspiring video of bike couriers as they pedal maniacally around Manhattan. This clip was originally reported via the October 8th edition of memepool.com, but downloading the video […]

Coop‘s right – My My My is a very addictive track. I’ve listened to it more than a few times, and I’m liking it a lot. If you like Dance, have a listen – recommended.

Apparently, XP will cache nameserver lookup errors. This is really stupid. I was making some changes last night and adding some entries to zones. I forgot to restart named, and was getting errors when attempting to connect to the host by name. I restarted named, still no joy, and then I started browsing logs to […]

diving for the disc on D, making the block, and watching the guy who thought he had a sure catch clamp down on nothing but air calling for the disc, blowing the shoes off a guy half your age, and catching a nicely thrown hammer from a friend in the endzone playing a team who […]
