I ran my motorcycle’s gas tank dry again yesterday, and once again the “reserve” tank didn’t seem to make any difference. I think there’s something wrong with the reserve fuel system in some way. However, I did get pay close attention to how many gallons it took to fill the tank back up and how… Continue reading gas mileage

biking to work
This past Friday (June 22, 2007), I set new record bicycle commute times in both directions! My home-to-work ride was 27:46, better than my previous best time of 29:52 (set in October 2006). My work-to-home ride was 32:51, significantly better than my previous personal best of 36:13 (also set in October 2006). I’m impressed with… Continue reading biking to work
a good weekend
I’ve had a really good weekend. Busy, but good. Friday night I picked Beth up at a party in Denver (I didn’t really want to go) and then we went out to Limon Peruvian restaurant, which I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while. I had scallops, and they were divine. I love it… Continue reading a good weekend

The Yes Men
This is the funniest prank I’ve read about in a while. I’m tempted to send these guys some money to help them keep doing what they do. Wired Science – Wired Blogs

When Pardons Turn Political – New York Times
My coworkers and I were discussing this in line at Qdoba a couple days ago. When I heard Libby had been convicted and sentenced to 30 months in prison, I thought to myself, “Well, all his legal team has to do is draw the appeals process out long enough so Bush can pardon him late… Continue reading When Pardons Turn Political – New York Times
FTC Objects to Whole Foods-Wild Oats Merger (Kroger Co. (KR), Wild Oats Markets Inc. (OATS), Safeway Inc. (SWY), Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI), Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), (US501044), (US931142)) | SmartMoney.com
I can’t say this really upsets me too much. Personally, I like Wild Oats more, and I’m afraid that the merger with Whole Foods would make them suck. FTC Objects to Whole Foods-Wild Oats Merger (Kroger Co. (KR), Wild Oats Markets Inc. (OATS), Safeway Inc. (SWY), Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI), Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT),… Continue reading FTC Objects to Whole Foods-Wild Oats Merger (Kroger Co. (KR), Wild Oats Markets Inc. (OATS), Safeway Inc. (SWY), Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI), Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
