Hike in Surrey, UK
This past Saturday we went on a bit of a hike around Surrey. It was quite fun! We had a small crew from work and a few friends from outside work. Hop on a train from Victoria station to Holmwood, … Continue reading
Cycling in London: Not for the faint of heart!
Fortunately for me I’m completely nuts! So I’ve been in London (yes the actual City of London) for the past week and a half for work, and part of my adventure was to bring my bicycle with in order to … Continue reading
Hey Chicago! Voice your opinion for the Ordinance for Bicycle Safety 2008!
I was just recently made aware that the CBF has been working hard at an amendment for some city ordinances on cycling which will help define some legal lines that drivers & cyclists can count on. I think it’s quite … Continue reading

Lesson in Programming: Why those /* (funny) */ comments are so important
At work we always marvel about the comments we come across in our code. Indiana Jones stories that somehow get related back to the code by it, how tired the programmer was when writing the code, indications of the [lack … Continue reading
Storm carnage…
So I finally got my power turned back on tonight a bit after 6:00…have been without since Thursday afternoon. Only really frustrating part was throwing out a lot of good food. Hardest part was trying to figure out what to … Continue reading
Can I possibly destroy any more hardware?
In the last 30 days, I’ve killed so much hardware it’s not even funny anymore. Zen Micro died today. After my first look it was grim. Put it back together tonight and surprisingly enough, it actually partially works. I even … Continue reading
