Morning bike ride 17 years ago
So I just finished my morning bike ride. I'm still in recovery at the moment. It wasn't a distance ride as much as an up-and-down hill sort of ride where I was glad that I got a hybrid instead of a road bike. I biked up to the Stevens Creek County Park from Wireheaddia and then wandered through the…

The REALLY long way home. :P 17 years ago
So our _ was acting up today and I had to fix it. So _ _ and I spent a bunch of time on the phone with ___ (who, I might add, are prone to EXCEPTIONAL bouts of stupidity in a "getting paged at 2am" sort of way). But... ehrm... long story short they "wiggled a few wires" and the problem went away…

I got a bike 17 years ago
I’ve been wanting to get a bike for a few months now. The way I figure it, given that WireCorp is in Sunnyvale and is only a few miles away, there’s no point in not biking to work. The healthiest i’ve ever been was when I was biking to work. Right now, I’m a tad too overweight and I have a vauge…
