On most Sunday mornings I do this ride from my house, to downtown, south to the Sellwood bridge and across, picking up the Springwater Corridor trail going north and then the riverside path up to the Steel Bridge, back across to the west riverside path, back down to the fountain at Taylor and then back [...]

Okay, on a less political and more geeky note – pardon my French but how fucking awesome does this look?
Wow. This may be enough to get me to rebuild my PC gaming box.
Thanks to the lovely Alice @ Wonderland for the link.

Luther he’s not, but somebody named Devanshu has nailed his 95 Theses of Geek Activism on the door of the Interweb (well, technically speaking, on the Science Addiction blog, but you know, creative license).

Here’s a pic of my cell phone camera, with some random schmuck in the

(In case any geeks are keeping track, like for scoring purposes: pic taken
on cell phone, sent to Palm via bluetooth, emailed from Palm via wifi to
Gmail, pulled from Gmail via cron job and autopublished to WP using Postie. [...]

Here we are testing a remote blogging tool called Vagablog, on the eve of the Portland trip.
Christ, is it ever irritating trying to make capital Ts in Graffiti2.

Well this should be interesting. If this works, it will be a number of firsts – first email sent via Palm over wifi, first typed with my new Thumboard app (link to follow since I’m not sure how to make pretty links here), and finally first official post-by-email.
Whew, the suspense is about killing [...]
