I hate my phone!

My new information/brain/me-management workflow. So far it’s working pretty well.

Why do nice people turn into petty tyrants when given the admin role?

A mostly unstructured list of why things are the way they are on this site.

The last few weeks have been great. Wrapped up an Amtrak trip to Chicago with my mom, spent a bunch of time at the shop and did some nice riding.

I’m deleting my Twitter accounts, so I figured I would write about how to follow this (and other) blog(s) so we can build a post-twitter world. It’s easy, RSS feeds are cool.

New camera! I’ve spent too much money lately.

I’ve been talking to a couple friends about starting their own blogs, and realized that it’s a little bit difficult to create Web 1.0 sites with Web 2.0 tech, so I wanted to document how part of this blog works.

I installed a rack and basket, made a u lock prettier, and have been riding slower. Also: shop stuff: water bottles, bolts, Bergs.

I visited New York City for the second time in November of last year to tour universities and check out the city as part of a three week long trip, most of which I spent in Toronto working. The second half was boring, so I’m going to focus on New York, what I liked, what I learned, what I saw. While there, I shot a bunch of photos and Vallery edited them. Mostly a photopost, with some opinions.

I ride too fast, I get sweaty on every ride, I don’t enjoy the world around me. I’m learning to love slow again. Jay is right: Slow is Forever.

My new do-most everyday bike

A little guy doing a big job, and other shop stuff.

In the past month, two people have died riding outside of BART trains. How do we avoid the fate of the East Coast, where ‘subway surfing’ has become an epidemic?

How I handle images on this blog, from a technical perspective. Plus some other nerd facts.
