  • Trikes Safer Around Cars?

    Just stumbled across this post describing how recumbent tricycles feel safer around cars because they’re given wider berth.

  • Quake Rattle and Roll

    Email from my mom today, she writes: We got a real roll from the 7.2 quake in Mexicali earlier this afternoon. We swayed and rolled for nearly 45 seconds; the dining room chandelier swayed for nearly 5 minutes afterwards. Both Dad and I felt a bit seasick for a while afterwards! Kind of a strange…

  • Year of Bike Commuting Ends With Gasoline

    I’ve braved the rain, snow and many a windy day on my bicycle. I’ve towed trailers, filled my panniers, and fixed my flats. This afternoon, I toted books to the library and went to the hardware store, and finally–went and purchased a 1-1/2 gallons of gasoline at a Chevron while on my bicycle. The gas…

  • One Year of Carless Computing!

    Not an April Fools joke — I’ve accomplished my first year of bicycle computing! I’ve only driven to work on two occasions for after-hours calls. The odometer readings on my bicycles this year are 1412 miles and 564 miles. I bought the latter odometer in December, so that’s 564 miles in 4 months. I’d confidently…

  • In Another Life: Solar Power

    I am occasionally reminded of how much I admire the concepts of solar power and the future it could sustain. If I were in a different line of work, it would likely be in the solar power industry. Renewable energy is a concept that’s satisfying to get behind, like it has become satisfying to become…

  • Copyright Thought

    Just now–looking at Slashdot and reading the post about 20,000 lawsuits of copyright infringement against BitTorrent users–makes me think that that copyright litigation is going to be a growth segment for the next decade. Like online advertising, online marketing and online gaming…copyright litigation is backed by solvent clientelle. Back when I was first out of…

  • You Want a Vertex Turbo

    Unless you want to go all spendy on an Intel X25-M or X25-E…However, after reading Anand’s SSD Anthology, the best value SSD is the OCZ Vertex Turbo. Some of my lingering questions have been answered! TRIM commands provide a modest performance enhancement if the drive is not near capacity. However as drives approach capacity, TRIM…
