How depressing. Can you believe that someone has written a program to do this. I’m getting consistent spam comments now. Too bad. Another thing spoiled by spam.

Continue reading →: Help! I'm a news junkie!
I curse “Google News”:news.google.com a thousand times. It updates itself every 5 minutes or so with the top stories from around the world. This is going to become a pro- vs. anti-debate for me, its just about getting all the facts about what is happening. I’ll look for things that…

Chicken ? la Iraq. Thomas Friedman is so brilliant and depressing at the same time. I’ve become a total news junkie. Will be interesting to see what happens. This reminds me of the joke about the man who gets lost and asks a cop for directions, and the first thing…

Will have to look into this. “Trailer Bike”:http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/trailrcy.html. An alternative is a Trailer bike that attaches…

Bicycle Tires Trials. Back in November, I wore out my Continental GP3000s. Since then, I’ve tried a bunch of different tires. Here’s the scoop at least for me: * “Sdeals”:http://sdeals.com. They have the absolute best prices on tires I’ve seen. * “Continental GP 3000”:http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/themes/tires/race/grand_prix_3000/grand_prix_3000_en.html.

Halogens PAR30. We have way too many light bulbs in our house and end up paying full retail when we need them. The $10 PAR30’s finally cracked me. So, a quick google search and here are some online places like bulbco.com that has them for $6. Good to know for…

I’m getting a Linux server up for a new project over at Ignition. It remains amazing to me how hard integration is with the Windows world.
