I want an iPhone just so that I can play with this. Nice.

Cyldesdales coming to the Cross Crusade

[Via Bike Portland] Cyldesdales coming to the Cross Crusade. I qualify for this category. I wonder if there is a cyclocross bike loaner program for us beefy riders?  That’s a lot of extra stress on the bike!

Note to anyone concerned for my health: I weigh considerably less than when I was a offensive lineman on my high school football team when I weighed in excess of 260 pounds. My svelter self is in large part due to cycling and the calories I burn commuting to work and riding on the weekends. With my 6′ 3″ frame, I doubt I could ever weigh less than 200 pounds. That said, I could stand to lose about 10 pounds right now as my commute-by-bike options have been hampered by the kids’ new school schedule.

A couple clydesdale races might be just the ticket for burning off some calories and raising the endorphine levels a bit.

Made it to school by bike again… nearly a month later

So it took nearly a month to make it to school by bike again. Nearly killing your child by not attaching the trail-a-bike correctly can do things like that to your schedule.

Someday I really will post pictures of our biking arrangement.

“Terms” in WordPress 2.3

The WordPress 2.3 terms table is a smart, forward-thinking update… and it breaks most themes horribly.

Google “Presentation” in the Wild

Google adds Presentation to Google Docs. Interesting tool. I particularly like the feature that lets you publish the document and share a chat room and the presentation at once. Pretty quick way to set up a meeting. That said, I’m probably not giving up Keynote for it.

Congratulations Jive!

Jive Software just released version 1.6 of Clearspace. Congratulations guys.

Thinking about snow covered bike paths on Mt. Hood…
