Bike Advice I've been learning

Bike Advice
I've been learning how to maintain bikes for about a year now. Here's a quick list of the sites and books I've used. Good luck yourself!

Art of Road Bike Maintenance and Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance. It is not as complete in the details, but gives you a good overview.
Sheldon Brown. This is the next level down. Sheldon's articles are just great and he's very practical. Helped me find great things like rear derailleur self-shifting solutions. Also good advice on routing cables and also on motorbike style brakes (you wire the right hand to the front instead of the rear brake).
Lickton's, but I try to direct my business here as much as I can to support their great efforts.
RoadBikeRider.com. I haven't used this site much but it appears to have some very good advice.

Tips, tricks and traps on technology, mobile, software, machine learning and shopping since 1996

Wow, this week was the best of times and the worst of times. Just like a Charles Dickens novel. So we cover the incredibly hard job of keeping sane and how a little sleep and support help. Plus the resolution of the SVB crisis for us and also the best of times which is GPT4. How can you deal with this kind of stress, it’s a great question, but the main thing to realize is that its natural to be stressed, yes, you can be Zen Buddhist, but at least for us as ordinary mortals accepting that living in this exponentially increasing world is difficult. Sometimes accepting that it’s hard helps me the most.

But there is nothing like trying to get good sleep. The problem is how to do that. I find that when there are so many things to do, it is hard to relax.

For, I didn’t invent it, but I definitely believe in things that go in threes. But I try to list the three most important things to do each day and if I get them done by 10 AM, then I feel like the rest of the day is free. So many times, we do things that are difficult but not critical, so get those out of the way first.

But for those of you hiding under a rock, SVB was really a disaster waiting to happen and other banks were unraveling, but the government stepped in. I feel so stupid not doing the obvious things to protect funds (but you can bet that is never going to happen again). I do think this was a great press release

I’m sure it is a controversy but living in a banking crisis definitely fits in my list of don’t do that again. It is also the best of times with innovation in AI really accelerating with the announcement of GPT-4. I’ve been lucky to be playing with it with an early version in Bing AI

Note that is a 4K HDR video, so watch it in all its glory, I do see the SDR versions do look a little washed out and it was recorded in SDR but someday it will be real HDR when we can find an HDR WebCam, OBS MacCapture supports HDR and Zoom does as well. In other words a long time :-)
