The mystery bag made its way back to its owner…

October 18, 2003

I left the mystery bag in front of the garage at the address on the envelope I found in it. This morning I got a voicemail from its owner thanking me profusely for going out of my way to return it. How many karma points is that?

Tis only a flesh wound!

October 17, 2003

Yesterday evening’s commute home was quite amusing. I found a leather bag in the middle of the road leaving work. You’d think that the owner of such an expensive bag filled with medical course notes and textbooks would at least tag it with their contact information. No such luck. Not even a name written on […]

Don’t fsck ext3 disks…

October 16, 2003

The storm last night caused numerous power outages both at work and at home. Unfortunately, the Web server UPS died and caused some minor disk corruption. No problem, the disks are ext3 with journaling enabled. But, when I got home, instead of allowing the system to come up on its own and recover the journal, […]

Bootleg grounds…

October 12, 2003

The ceiling fan in our kitchen was falling apart so we opted to replace it. Unfortunately, upon pulling the old one down, we found a bootleg ground inside the wiring box where the previous owners intentionally attached the neutral wire to the ground wire since no real ground was available. Wonderful. So we temporarily installed […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]

    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter).
