So I’m home from my Memorial Day Weekend. I’ve got a few small splotches of sunburn (top of right foot, front of right shoulder), I’m friggin’ exhausted, and if I see another airplane again this week, I might throw myself down a flight of stairs. As I’ve mentioned here previously, Kate is traveling for work, [...]
Terry, Showing off the awesome (fake) ‘stache. A few weeks ago, my friend and former co-worker, Terry, was in a severe car-bike accident, resulting in a traumatic brain injury, a scalp that required 68 staples to close, and a badly broken leg. I’m not going to use this as a platform to rail at people [...]
So last night, I took the Cervelo out for a short ride, and have determined that I still have some kinks to work out. Nothing show-stopping, of course, but still. Gotta be done before Wednesday’s edition of the Black Dog Time Trial. Considering re-taping the bars and putting some gel inserts on them before then, [...]
It’s been almost two weeks now, and I feel kinda directionless and weird. It’s an odd emotion, that I’ve categorized under “lonely” because nothing else fits. I miss Kate. Terribly. She’ll be home tomorrow night and I am very much looking forward to it. That empty spot in the bed in the morning is something [...]

Accomplishments: put plates on Kate’s car cleaned out Kate’s car, and my car emptied, scrubbed and changed litterboxes cleaned kitchen built table for deck missed Kate terribly vacuumed downstairs set up site for the Dashbrain Project (arduino) set up and configured Wii Fit contemplated Star Trek (saw [...]
So last night I got the breadboard out and hooked it up to the Arduino, and built out the complete circuit for my Ambient Web Metrics project that I’ve been working on. Got the supporting code attached to the other two websites, and ran some tests. As a description of how this works, a single [...]
Yeah, so I drove the time trial course last night, as planned, and holy crap. There are parts that are fine, but there are parts that look like the Arenburg pavé. Since it was dark when I drove it, I want to ride it on a bike before racing it. I’ll probably head over there [...]
So tomorrow, I am probably going to race the Black Dog TT. I use the term “race” loosely, as I won’t even be close to competitive, what with my “extensive” training program I’ve undertaken this spring, and the aerodynamic 20-pound beer gut I’m toting. Tonight, I’m heading out to Burnsville to give the course a [...]
