Today was the Armadillo Hill Country classic. This was by far the hardest ride I’ve ever done. Being in Hill Country, it was 107 miles of rolling hills. The wind kept shifting all day, essentially we were in a headwind on every leg of the route which took a lot out of me. While I […]

I’ve been slacking again. I finally got two rolls of film processed and scanned today. They’ve been in my cameras since New Year’s Eve. I should’ve taken many more but for whatever reason I didn’t. I can’t figure out how I took a crooked picture in Seattle, I was using a tripod at the time.

Tonight was the first time I ran after being sick. It felt like my lungs were coated with concrete, I couldn’t get a good deep solid breath. I’ve been chugging expectorant, I’m hoping this stuff plus running will break up and open my lungs back up. This weekend is the ACA Hill Country Classic. I’m […]

I snagged this off of Chris’ site, Horribly Hilly Hundreds. 200 kilometers (124 miles) of hellish hills, totalling around 10,000 feet of ascension. Totally sick, I love it. I might just have to box up my bike and travel up north for this sucker. I suspect this would be way worse than doing the Mansfield […]

I returned from Virginia yesterday and am almost over my cold. Descending in the plane wasn’t painful, but my head felt like it had a lot of pressure built up on it. I went through almost an entire roll of toilet paper to blow my nose. It and my lips were so chapped it was […]

I had an incredibly horrible Nyquil trip last night. It was so weird I don’t know if I can describe it. Pretty much every 15 minutes I woke up having to blow my nose. I didn’t really sleep, every time I’d close my eyes I’d have all these recursive visuals of boxes and bars. I […]

Google Maps apparently just got updated with new satellite imagery. There’s now higher resolution of Europe, I can now find our colocation facility in Amsterdam. My old apartment complex in Tulsa is now there, no longer a clump of trees. Looking at that picture now brings back all sorts of memories living there. The whacky […]

Speaking of MySpace being profitable, here’s an article talking about it turning into a profit center. Of particular interest to me is this line, “After the Internet bubble burst, he even built a site that let people download computer cursors in the form of waving flags; the trick was that they also downloaded software that […]

Odd, I think this was the first time I ever googled for “binary fury”. Apparently it’s the name of some industrial group, complete with binaryfury.com and a myspace site. I thought I was being quick and clever when I came up with the name long ago. I forget the original reasoning or thought process behind […]
