Whatever you think of their music (some of it is pretty catchy pop tunes), OkGo makes some of the best music videos around. From the dance routine that’s now de rigueur at weddings and proms, to an incredible treadmill routine, they now have the most awesomest Rube Goldberg device I’ve ever seen.
They had help and [...]
Something has to change, so I joined livestrong.com, (one of) Lance Armstrong’s commercial enterprise. It’s a thing where you can track your calorie intake and exercise output, set goals, that sort of thing. (Not to be confused with livestrong.org, his non-profit charity foundation.)
At first, I was tempted to open an account at nutritiondata.com. I’ve had [...]
I renewed my MedicAlert membership and found they’d changed their website. It needed it. It was terribly confusing and difficult to navigate. But it was doable. Now it’s just as confusing and difficult to navigate but now it has added AJAX that doesn’t work right.
In fact, few things on the site work right. When you [...]

sorry your bike got stolen. its beautiful. when some guy offered it to me for 40 bucks, i didnt even think twice. i was drunk, missing my bike and figured if not me, someone else would buy it anyways. also, my bike got stolen last week. who knows, maybe [...]
Why did I not know Versus was live streaming the TdF?
I watched a bit of it this morning and it’s pretty good. It seems to be commercial free, but then I only watch about the last 20km. The free version is a smaller screen, but that seems fine to me as I’m not sure my [...]
A fantastic article at The Register about copy fraud
Copyfraud: Poisoning the Public Domain
The author is a little fixated on Google (understandably so) but there are other equally egregious offenders out there. Disney comes immediately to mind.
Bicycle Comics – Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery | He’s Good….
This has been making the rounds, and it’s pretty darn amazing.
A good article giving a quick thumbnail sketch of how and why UCI and WADA came to be.
The Explainer – Who are those guys? – VeloNews.
Heh.
I don’t even care if it’s real or not. It’s pretty darn cool.
Or maybe we’re at sunspot max?
Last Friday, the server that hosts finial.com, southend.org, and NewEnglandClassic.org went down hard. Unfortunate timing as the ADA Expo was Saturday, so the site was down nearly a full day ahead of time.
Bad.
The last night, my DSL from Speakeasy went down nearly all night long. There lives finial.us, todddavis.org, hulver.panograph.net [...]
The shiba inu puppies are all adopted out. Time for something else.
My mom sent me this.
What do you want?
Information!
Today on dealnews.com, there was a listing for “99 Beethoven Masterpieces” from amazon.com’s MP3 download thing. It was only $2.00 and I figured Ludwig was worth at least that much, even if it’s just pieces parts like this, so I decided to get it.
So you go there, you buy the thing, and you have to [...]
I (and others, obviously) have been reading Yehuda Moon for quite some time now. It’s a four-panel comic about Yehuda Moon who, with Joe, co-owns the Kickstand Cyclery, a shop in Cleveland. He works as a bike mechanic and is a strong commuter advocate. The strip is very good. But the story line over the [...]
The Globe publishes yet another list on its way to becomming VH-1. But … explain to me exactly how this is “open source”? It’s a pretty standard Google map mash up. There’s nothing open source about it at all as far as I can see. And, from the attributions, it looks like it was created [...]
Pretty friggin impressive! I love the scoring. And the ramp jump at the end is awesome.

[Update] It’s fake. Well, not “fake” exactly, but it’s not real.
Prepare to lose whatever productivity you’ve got left.
This site was hacked some tme last night which is why all the pages were blank if you visited this morning.
I’m not sure how they got in, but every php page on the site was modified with some code I’ve yet to decipher, but which I assume to be one of those things that try [...]
e-patients: What’s in *your* MIB?
Wow. I never even knew this existed.
