Updated to wordpress 2.1.3 and the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor does seem to work any longer.
Ah, found it.

New Diabetes Genetic Risk Factors Found
Interesting. They could use a better proofreader, though.
… “insulin, a hormone key for turning blood sugar into insulin”
erm, not exactly.

Beautiful weekend and I got out of a ride at long last. I can certainly tell it’s been a while since I’ve been on the bike. The gym has been pretty good at keeping my condition up, but it hasn’t done much for my stamina. Must work on that since I just realized my first [...]

Three (and a half) stories are woven together in an extremely bleak and violent tale of corruption, vice, and revenge in Basin City. Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is a cop about to retire but has one last job to do: to save a little girl taken hostage by a sadistic paedophilic torturer. Marv (Mickey Rourke), [...]

A graphic reminder for city’s riders - The Boston Globe
Boston’s ghost bike makes the paper.

Today is Patriot’s Day, a/k/a Marathon Monday. Normally, I ride the marathon route finish to start to finish before the race starts, but we’re in the middle of a whopping Nor’easter, so I’ve been stuck inside.

Mayor aims to cut city’s greenhouse emissions
You’ll notice that (again) making the city more bicycle and pedestrian friendly is not mentioned. I mean, everything mentioned here is good, fine, great. But there are some very simple and inexpensive things that can be done. Like, say, put some places to lock bikes up to replaced the [...]

Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson) is average. Absolutely average. Solidly average. Peak of the bell curve in every measure. The army wants to be able to freeze its top performers and thaw them when needed. What better than to experiment on someone so average he wouldn’t be missed. So Joe is to be frozen for [...]

Did the tv thing yesterday. That’s one long ass drive. Boston to Westport, same distance as London to Sheffield or Munich, Germany to Konstanz, Swizterland or Amsterdam to Dunkerque. That, and driving back through a couple of major white-out snowsqualls wasn’t much fun. But it was nice that zipcar has XM radio. It would be [...]

San Mateo Daily Journal
I live in fear of things like this. Especially living in a city where a couple of Lite Brites can bring on a full scale terror alert. I mean, I have a MedicAlert bracelet, but if one of our coked up thugs in blue decide to have a smack down, what can [...]

A friend of mine was in town on his way to a conference in Portland, ME, so a bunch of us went out for meat and beer. I took the SS, but got there late and sweaty. It’s amazing how warm it can be when it’s cold out. It’s not the (lack of) heat, it’s [...]
