Sorry about that last post. I apparently haven’t beer posted in a while. Anyways, I just read about a potential breakthrough in hard disk storage technology that could bump up the amount of data you can store on a chip or drive by a factor of 100. That’s pretty serious. This would mean faster data… Continue reading The iPod Pico

The Need for Repetition
So, forget about hanging out with part of the family, both old and new, tonight. My friend Kat was trying to relay some bit of information to me tonight, and I apparently kept interrupting her about a name/idea for derby that I had come up with. She called me out on it. In the short… Continue reading The Need for Repetition
The Saints may have lost…
…but I pretty much win anyway: I got my grandmother (the very reason I am a Saints fan) a custom jersey. I wasn’t sure what number to go with so I went with 67 – the year the Saints were formed.
The Return of the Who Dat Insurgence
That’s right kids. Today is Game #1 of the 2007-2008 Football Season. Saints at Colts. This morning, in the wee hours of oh-dark-thirty, a woman rode by where I sat on the levee. She looked like the typical bike nerd on the levee riding at that ungodly hour. Road bike, helmet, lycra team kit, Saints’… Continue reading The Return of the Who Dat Insurgence

Nicholls Street with my current roommate, the po-po. The house is a super-nice two story, newly renovated. My friend Chris owns it… Continue reading On the move

Change comes from within your pockets
Everyone has their change bowl(s), right? I decided to empty mine out unto the bike shop. 20 lbs of change translated into $188.28, and a number of fewer banks trips for the shop. .25 x 438 = $109.50 .10 x 466 = $46.60 .05 x 372 = $18.60 .01 x 1330 = $13.33 2606 coins… Continue reading Change comes from within your pockets

Left-Handed OSX Method
On Saturday, I learned through the bike shop that my friend Gene’s wife, Marcy, had suffered a serious stroke. The next day, a Slashdot article on communicating with hospitalized people was put on their main page, and I sent it to Tim who had been visiting Marcy and their family. Through the subsequent comments/links to… Continue reading Left-Handed OSX Method
Bash.org on Named Storms
Quote #796356: [mfts] Who the fuck is the one naming hurricanes? [mfts] They somehow manage to give them the least threatening names ever. [mfts] If I turned on the news and heard that Hurricane Erin was coming I’d think to myself, “Erin? I could take that slut.” [mfts] If I turned on the news and… Continue reading Bash.org on Named Storms
