WatchSome photos I took at the 2008 Iron Horse Classic Criterium. A “crit” is where you ride around in a circle with a bunch of other highly fueled cyclists for a certain length of time (5 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour depending on your age and rank), then at that time they do a 5 lap dash for first place. Just watching them avoid giant cracks and crevasses in the asphalt is...

Honestly, I don’t know what I struggle with more:
the size of this giant wine glass looking contraption in the lady’s kitchen
the complexity of the process, which apparently requires a PC and software to make the magic happen. And here I thought you just mashed up some grapes and put it in a barrel.
or the distinct possibility that you’ll end up paying $30 a glass for first...

Math time… one dozen “cage-free” eggs costs $3 and we eat on average $5/week in eggs. $5x52= $260/year. The Eglu Cube with 2M run is £595… Hello Home Depot.

Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn?... →
“ The best time to study something is at the moment you are about to forget it. And yet — as Neisser might have predicted — that insight was useless in the real world. Determining the precise moment of forgetting is essentially impossible in day-to-day life.”
For those of use who weren’t gifted with a photographic memory, there’s hope. But it comes at a cost…

Desiccated Raisins
I love Just Fruit’s Munchie blend of yummy goodness, but whoever the genius was that thought putting desiccated raisins into the mix would liven things up a bit must be on the take from the ADA.

New Meaning to Tripartite Being
My birthday falls on the cuff of Taurus and Gemini, which means that I have tendencies toward both traits and often find that I disagree with myself. Or at least I have difficulty agreeing with some of the things I believe in.
Pretty much like the three-headed giant in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

dirty little secret #1
I’m a trailer junkie. It’s not like I hover over apple.com/trailers waiting for a new one to magically appear. I like to wait a week or so and build up at least a row or two of new clips to be selectively savored.
Sometimes the trailer is better than the movie.
Sometimes I’ll enjoy a trailer, but have absolutely no intention of seeing the movie.
Not much of a dirty secret...

"new gay"
In my last post a made reference to new gay. Allow me to clarify…
We devised new gay as a means to describe something, or someone by wrapping together the original definition of gay (carefree, cheerful, lighthearted) with gay as it’s connoted today (think attitude, not sex), and splash it with a bit of metrosexuality.
Some might say, skip the first two and just equate it to...

the winner is...
I’m forcing myself (and management is encouraging me too) to track my time better throughout the day. My job is such that this is not an easy task. I bounce from thing to thing to thing about 3-5 times an hour, and rarely have the luxury of putting solid blocks of time into one thing.
But this post is about software. Time tracking software.
I love testing software. And I really love that...

tried the blog thing… not enough to say.
