  1. May Is Bike Month

    Thu May 2, 2013

    Today is day two of May is Bike Month, and I logged my usual 2 km (okay, 1.28 miles for the imperialist bike event) trip to work. Twice on this short trip I was almost creamed by careless drivers. I credit my intuition, adhearance to traffic laws, and two pieces of inexpensive equipment for my safe arrival to work.

  4. TinyMCE 4 Beta 1 Released

    Fri Apr 12, 2013

    Moxiecode just released a beta of TinyMCE 4. It looks pretty slick! So slick it obsoletes my thebigreason TinyMCE Skin. That doesn’t mean I won’t take a stab at it, though.

    Tue Apr 2, 2013

    I live 2 km from my office, which means I get to ride my bike to work every day. I also ride home for lunch, rain or shine.

  7. Rotator Cuff Injuries and the Double Bass

    Sat Mar 30, 2013
    Bottom Dwellers with Andy Lentz

    In early February of this year, I got a flu shot in my right shoulder. The medical assistant who stuck me said, “oh, your muscle didn’t like that” and warned me that it would likely be sore for a few days.

    Fast-forward nearly two months later and I still can’t raise my right arm without significant pain. There are days when it hurts less than others, but the performance isn’t even close to where it used to be.

    I’ve spent almost a week with Nanobots, the newest record by They Might Be Giants. I love it as much as The Else, John Henry, Apollo 18, and Lincoln.

    Chelyabinsk meteoroid explosion remnants

    What an awesome day for space debris! We’ve been preparing for 2012 DA14 for almost a year, but this morning’s explosion over Chelyabinsk Russia was a pretty rare and very unexpected coincidence.

  10. I have a recording of Pavement’s first ever live performance somewhere in my garage

    Thu Feb 7, 2013
    TDK D90

    In the late 80s and early 90s I recorded “Live in Studio A” on KDVS almost every week. One of my favorite recordings was of Pavement. I listend to it all the time. It was extremely noisy. So much so that when I later heard Slanted and Enchanted, I was surprised it was the same band. The Pavement I remembered was sloppy and noisy. No. Really sloppy and noisy.
