Geek Test

*ahem*
You can take the Geek Test here if the link from the image doesn't work.
And no, I won't fix your computer for you. Well maybe, if the cookies/beer/whisky are up to par.
BTW, while at the site I also took the "how long will you live" test and got the same duration my Dad got in actual use. Accurate? Yeah, but coincidences do happen. Spooky? Oh yeah.

Mac & PC People: Compare and Contrast

I was pointed by this article at CNN to this article at Hunch.  Huh.  Too bad they didn't include linux as an option, that would've rocked the poll open.  If they'd had enough numbers to give meaningful stats.
Overall, I seem to fit into each category almost as if put there by coin toss.

Intervals, Week 3: last week a gnawing fox, this week termites

1:30 on / 1:30 off, tuesday & thursday.  Tuesday was bad but today was.... unreal.  Muggy and in the low 80's, wind SE @ 20mph.  Slathered up with sunscreen and rode out into clouds of freshly-hatched flying termites which obligingly stuck all over arms and legs.
Did the intervals anyway, but... damn.

Plan for next week: 1:30 on / 1:00 off.  Need to work on intensity some more before stretching the on-times.

MTB Sunday: good weather, great ride

Great day in the woods, beautiful spring weather. Started out in mid-60's, don't think it quite hit 80. One of those fun club rides where everybody's social but a lot of miles get ridden nevertheless.
Some pics can be found here.

Pokébars: Gotta Visit 'Em All!

Photo tour of ten of the smallest pocket bars in the world found here.  Most are in the 100 sq ft range, and drift slightly upward from there.
