Disassembled/Cleaned/Rebuilt the bike tonight, it can be a very zen thing. I fitted the new K-Edge Garmin mount and K-Edge GoPro mount, swapped out my water bottle cages for ones that grip a little tighter, and replaced my blown rear tube/tire. Very relaxing. Then managed 20mph on city streets...

That is awesome. I wonder if they need to take any special precautions to ship these things? Put them in a cardboard construction large enough that the field strength outside the box is reasonable? Special labeling? Edit: Though if you are going to ruin something that expensive, you may as well...

Magnets are like lasers....fun until someone loses something ;)

Yup, their website mentions that. It also recommends the bike for 1 year of age and older. And my wife has already set the speed limit with trailer at 30mph. Oh, well.

I know that eating bugs is supposed to help their immune system, I figure I can assist that. Nothing like one going up the nose at 30mph. ;)

Sweet. I wonder how old the kid should be before I give them a taste of speed ;)

Looks good. How to you attach the CX1 to the Nishiki?

18.5kg? That is more than double my bike, with lights and two full water bottles.

Got in a good night ride tonight, but I may have been pushing myself a bit hard: Z1 - Endurance 0-114 0:34 1% Z2 - Moderate 114-151 10:56 12% Z3 - Tempo 151-169 10:41 12% Z4 - Threshold 169-188 18:14 20% Z5 - Anaerobic 188+ 52:26 56%

ThinkGeek sells a great Ti spork, but it doesn't have USB. That would just be weird.

I appreciate the info, and that states some things that I thought I knew in another way that does make them easier to understand. My biggest question at the moment is a port either tagging or untagging. How could it do one and not the other? Don't I need packets tagged as they come in and...

I can't seem to understand this properly, and need some help. I have several wireless links chained together linking some of our offices. These links are inside out network, post-firewall, and are tying a bunch of small offices together for network and internet access purposes. At one end of...

Friend's wedding in San Francisco. He has this ability to complicate things more than most women I know.

when I'm traveling and have that issue I fall back to snickers bars and coke. you can get them anywhere and they are always safe.

I'm pretty sure it was the smoked beef carpaccio that has inspired my sudden weight loss. Shame, I love that restaurant.

Nothing, apparently my brain likes to invent stuff so I can look like a fool. I don't think it needs to try so hard.

After that the second letter goes lower case, IIRC.

This is the same as mine, note the pins in the top-right.

Of course there are no guarantees in life, but if your stopping distance is worse than the person in front of you, you really are helpless. I would not put myself in that position on purpose.

Bent bumper and disconnected radiator hose. But he did miss his appointment, and my car wouldn't have. Active safety is a good thing.

I can shoot this one down. A friend of mine drives a lifted Ford F-350 quad cab extended bed. This thing is as intimidating as it gets. Last weekend someone in a midsize Merc cut in front of him and nailed the brakes. They got a totaled car for their trouble. Having a car that can't go, stop...

Nope. It has a 3.5mm stereo jack built into the center console under the armrest. I'm pretty sure I've found the pins on the back of the stereo ("AUX L+", "AUX R+", "AUX GND") but they are part of a large wiring harness connector. I'm pretty sure I can just pull these wires out of the harness...

Oh, and the amber "Passenger Airbag Disabled" light that is on whenever there isn't a passenger was bugging me, so I took it apart and put some electrical tape between the LEDs and the light guide. Similar to this guy.

Installed a ProClip phone mount for my Galaxy SIII with built-in charging base. Very clean and sturdy mount. I also have a 3.5mm stereo audio cable routed up that way to get audio out of the phone. The car does have an Aux in already, but it is on the transmission tunnel under the armrest and...

Thanks for the tip!

Usually you can mess with route settings to get stuff to go elsewhere. But it isn't easy or intuitive.

Serves them right. Next time they can actually try to meet the expectations I hold them at least partially responsible for creating. I mean, I know Americans are dumb, but making just another hybrid and calling it the "Volt" is not they way to impress people.

There is a hurricane scheduled to hit land around my birthday (again). Of course it is headed for New Orleans.

640*800 per eye at the moment....wanting something a little bit more before I bite.

91 is the best a normal gas station will sell you. Everything else is at the track, but you can just roll up and pay >$10/gal for the top-end stuff.

Worse than that, it is very hard to even find the "good stuff" out here. Luckily Laguna Seca Raceway is only a few miles away and will happily sell you 100 Octane in exchange for and arm and a leg.

Are you sure the Hyundai only requires regular gas? I thought all the high-compression turbos required premium. And I'll second sdbardwick; it isn't that much more. I think people often overestimate the impact of fuel prices in their lives; IIRC, gas itself is only about 50% of the cost of...

Any advice on garage floor epoxy systems? Looking for something white-ish with the grey chips. There are some minor holes that will need to be filled, and I'll need to go around with a scraper as well to clean up the concrete.

I got a sample of that as well, but my cars are currently far too filthy to attempt such magic. As soon as I finish building out the garage and have a spot to park them inside I'll pay more attention to keeping them clean.

Did my normal ride through Pebble Beach yesterday morning. Apparently Audi was doing a "Driving Experience" day or something, the roads were crawling with new S7s and S8s. Got to draft some on the way down the beach. Pretty cars, but none in my favorite white.

I'd check if that resolution is supported on VGA for the KVM...or at least check if the KVM works at 1280x1024.

Are you running a different screen resolution?

Interesting. On high end hardware I would say that Firefox is still the quickest. Certainly better than IE, I don't use chrome much.

Indeed. Apple was tired of having the Apple tax only apply to people who actually bought Apple products. They have now found a way to tax everyone in the industry.

Haven't picked up a Note yet, still loving the SIII...and these problems don't happen.

IIRC, after that it goes to double letters (AA, BB, etc)

You did lemons? I was looking at it around here...fun?

I use something called FolderSync for Android. Specify a folder on your network and a folder on the device, it will sync manually or anytime you connect to WiFi.

Nope. I called it at two. Both with green onions and cheddar cheese.

just finishing my first bowl now...

Thanks. Yours is the one I was looking at.

Who ended up getting which VAG-COM unit? The wife's car suddenly got a check-engine and I would love to have a look myself ASAP. May as well get something fully-featured so I can do whatever I like on these cars.

Ah...thanks

?

I'm sure they had a D'oh moment when they realized how many people were able to run 7/2008 for 6 months+ at a time without ever having a key. I also suspect that the retail keys won't work with the MSDN downloads of the OS. I know this is the case with 7.
