What is an inert ramble?

May 16, 2003

According to Google, I seem to be the first person on the Web to use the phrase “inert ramblings“. I guess that makes me a pioneer (a pioneer of what, I’m not quite sure). Regardless, inert ramblings are defined as the inability to move about aimlessly or the inability to talk or write in a […]

The eclipse was a bust…

It was completely overcast in Haverhill so the eclipse was obscured. Ohwell. At least we had a Webcam to stare at. Instead of heading up to the field in Amesbury to sit in the middle of a wet field on an overcast night we all sat down and watched Shrek and an episode of Real […]

Lunar Eclipse

May 15, 2003

There will be a lunar eclipse this evening starting around 9:00 PM EST. Kelly, Brian and myself will be heading up North and camping out in a rather large field for a few hours to check it out. Perhaps we’ll run into some other dirty Pagans.

Sensory perception…

June 7, 1999

It’s odd. I’ve always had the ability to sense my surroundings. I have no idea why or how, but I always seem to know when there are people around me or when someone is focusing their attention on me. If there is someone sitting across the room that glances up at me, my attention is […]

I am a true geek.

June 6, 1996

For a while, Netscape had an LED sign in one of their cubicle farms to allow visitors to push random quotes to the developers. In a display of my geekdom, I pushed this over to email to my girlfriend. It must have worked…she married me.

  • 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 […]

  • 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).
