I’ve kept slightly abreast of the whole “illegal wiretapping” issue from the past few years.

new bicycle commute time record
This morning, I broke my personal best bike to work time. Today was 25:58, which is 49 seconds better than my previous best of 26:47, set a couple months ago.

La Casita de Durango
UPDATED 8/7/2010: La Casita has moved since I wrote this review. I have updated the address below.

Plus, my employer offers free bus passes to all employees, so I decided to get one of… Continue reading nearly car free commuting for 3+ months
I’m getting a Drobo
At first I thought they were weird. But now that I’ve lived with a pile of external drives for a while, and now that the Drobo supports FW800, I decided to get one. It should arrive next week, and then I’ll consolidate all my external drives down to this thing and never have to worry… Continue reading I’m getting a Drobo
I feel like I’m slowly starving to death
I woke up this morning to the sound of non-stop growling from my stomach. It’s so bad that I couldn’t sleep through it any more. The reason?
