Glad to see the climbers in this years Tour have finally gotten mad.
Just took some time to actually look at the flowers and plants in the backyard. It’s pretty amazing.
Worst CD Ever
I recently went through the process of reviewing my rather large CD
collection and culling out things that I really don't like. Accidental
purchases or things that I just didn't like after trying it.
When we were on a road-trip a number of years ago we decided to pick up a few CD’s just to try some things. Only In America, Volume 2 from Arf! Arf! Records was one of those CD’s. It seemed like it was just a collection of quirky music. I now think it is perhaps the worst CD ever made. I challenge anyone reading this to try to listen to every track on it from start to finish. An excerpt from the web site promoting it:
Only in America focuses on material that leaves the listener bewildered and in utter disbelief.
Amazingly this is Volume 2. There is a Volume 1 as well that I hope to never hear even a track of.
Update
There is a great post and dialog going on about this album over at JasonHare.com.
Listening to The Wall.
Drinking my cold press. On a telephone call.
Cargo Shorts Banned from Cycling
Tammy, Mazie and I went on a bike ride today. Tammy is prone to comment about how great it is to just “ride your bike”. What she means by this is to disregard the crazy gear of cycling – special shorts, shoes, shirt, socks and everything else – and just ride your bike. Street clothes. Normal shoes. You know, like “normal” people do. We were riding to Yum for lunch, about 17 miles round-trip with a long lunch in the middle. So I went with normal shorts like a normal person.
I have no option to not wear my cycling shoes since all of my bikes have clipless pedals (a must!). But I decided to go ahead and just wear my normal shorts and spare the world me in lycra. This was horrible. It’s not just that the cycling shorts have padding that make the saddle more comfortable. It’s that regular shorts are hot. They are baggy and restrict leg movement in odd ways. They bunch up all over. It was absolutely horrible.
I’ll never ride my bike over 2 miles without cycling shorts again. I’ve learned my lesson.

twitterfeed is kind of cool and it supports OpenID.
Expecting that my life will be markedly better when the new version of Backpack is released. Can’t wait.
Very long meeting and I’m last on the agenda. Awesome.
The iPhone is an even better flashlight than the BlackBerry.
Trying really hard to resist the urge to create PowerPoint slides for todays meeting.
