Life! It happens! There’s been a lot of it going on. Also a lot of bike riding, getting together with family, working, and getting on with things. Instead of a long post with words, here’s some pictures. Going back in time, these are some things I was thinking or doing. You’ll see lots of memes, bikes, people on bikes, and our cat, Pearl. She’s the cutest!

Well, this is frustrating – I cannot seem to order these bike lights, no matter what browser or credit card I use. I’ve been in contact with them and they see my attempts on their logs, but I can’t seem to get it to work on their site no matter how carefully I check the information. One of the latest and most innovative safety equipment for cyclists if the patented battery-free bike lights from Reelight. With Reelight cyclist always have light on their bicycles – day and night. The light is based on the electrodynamic induction principle and generates its…

This article on The Chainlink hits all the points. THIS is what anti-bike civic planners need to read. Most of All, Cyclists Want a Safe Place to Ride Rest assured we don’t like cars barreling down on us any more than drivers want cyclists slowing them down. All we ask for is a situation where motorists and cyclists can peacefully coexist, and arrive at our respective destinations without getting in each other’s way. Bike Paths Don’t Cut It for Practical Transportation Imagine if your roads went like two miles and then just abruptly ended at some random grassy field. It…

First of all, just because of the best damn Chrome extension since ever, I’m using Chrome. Second of all, Drumpf threw another tantrum. Again? But because of that extension, I am pleased to quote: Donald Drumpf is throwing a tantrum and threatening to run as a third-party candidate for president because the Republican Party and Marco Rubio are being mean to him. I’m more and more convinced that he’s tapped Christie as his most likely VP choice and exit strategy. He shakes things up, gets bored or mad, and quits after being nominated (or God help us, elected) and Christie…

David and I listened to this follow up story Thursday on the retired Thiokol engineer who tried to stop the Challenger disaster, and had a parking lot moment of our own. We were meeting Dad and Linda (my father-in-law Sheldon and Shel’s girlfriend Linda) for dinner. As the story ended, we listened, pausing before getting out of the car. NPR listeners evidently had their own driveway or parking lot moments, and responded quickly to the original story. It’s nice to report so many acts of kindness to try to comfort a dying man. After NPR reported Bob Ebeling’s story on…

So glad this guy got booted out after just one term, and now the IL-08 district is reliably blue. Why is it that when Dems leave office, they disappear? When Republicans get bounced, they go on talk shows or create their own. Joe Walsh, a radical Tea Party congressman who was voted out of office after one term amid a variety of financial problems and has since become a right-wing radio host, is none too pleased about Presi Source: Former Rep.

Goddamit, Google, not again. You’re retiring yet another essential productivity tool!! Since the launch of Google Photos, we’ve had a lot of questions around what this means for the future of Picasa. After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided to retire Picasa over the coming months in order to focus entirely on a single photo service in Google Photos. We believe we can create a much better experience by focusing on one service that provides more functionality and works across mobile and desktop, rather than divide our efforts across two different products.
