So I’m shilling for Firefox. I think it’s a great piece of software, and it’s my browser of choice regardless of platform (except my iPod Touch, where I’m stuck with Safari…*gag*). That, and I think the badge is really cute. They ought to make a slightly modified version of this as an icon for the [...]

A few things I noticed over the weekend: 1. Shimano really needs to make the Alfine parts group available for purchase in this country.

Keith Olbermann is the man. This might be the best verbal beat-down I have ever had the privilege to bear witness to.
Videoblogging is hard. Okay, really, it’s not that difficult — it’s just more labor-intensive than normal blogging. I’ve got a basic script for the first videoblog post, and tonight I do my primary shoot. Post-production may take a little longer, but I have the still imagery put together, so at least that’s out of the [...]
As a NCOIC of mine was once fond of saying, “Ah, well, shit on a stick.” I never understood what a feces-covered tree limb might indicate (other than something anatomically improbable and most likely very painful), but he trucked that gem out when he was frustrated, and currently it seems like an appropriate time to [...]
