I’ve been working on being an event calendar curator ala Jon Udell’s system and was stuck getting a good calendar feed from the King Country Library System for my local Snoqualmie library. As in most projects, you start with some HTML page of calendar entries. In this case a search for Snoqualmie Library leads to [...]

AIG’s latest problems has triggered some discussion of the economic D word. The savings rate in January has gone up quite a bit (6%?) More then 50% of hospitals are operating at a loss with the increase of people without insurance as they lose their jobs and the hospitals “safe” investment take losses. Dow hits [...]
Sunday with the Girl

On Sunday, I spent a good part of the day with my baby daughter Caitlyn. She is well into the cold/flu that I’m just getting over. Most of the day we were just riding around in the back seat of my brother’s car. It was a blast. She would smile and coo in-between me cleaning [...]
Saturday "ride"
Posted in Biking, Journal on June 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Thursday roles around and I was left with a decision. Ride a 14-15 mph pace ride with the people I’m doing the STP with, do the Cascade ride, do both or do the 107 mi, 5500 ft of climbing RAMROD training series ride? Am I even vaguely fit enough to do the RAMROD training series ride? Last [...]
A weekend of riding

With STP coming up and my intention to ride it two days with a friend and some of his coworkers, I felt that I really needed to do at least one two-day ride before the actual event. This weekend was cascade’s dedicated chance to do just that with Flying Wheels one day and a “lighter” [...]
7 Hills of Kirkland

Today I did the 7 11 Hills of Kirkland, which involves 4,600 ft of climbing over 58 miles. Since I got another broken spoke 25 miles into the Saturday CTS training series ride and had gotten new wheels to fix it the same day, this was a bit of a make up session. Aside from mileage [...]
Back in the rides

Last night I finally got back into the tues/thursday rides with Per’s Eastside Tours. While Thompson hill kicked my butt and caused me to drag a good chunk of the rest of the way, it was a fun ride. It’s always a great feeling to power the way back up East Lake Sammamish to finish up [...]
TV Last Night

Last night Pam and I were pretty tired, so we HAVE NOT watched the latest Battlestar Galatica episode yet. We did watch the Dresden Files new episode, The Boone Identity, and caught some of the Teasers for this week’s episode, it looks like it plays games with the Baltar as a Cylon angle (which is great) and [...]

Weird Economics

Why does ticketmaster want to charge me $2.50 for an email I print out, and not charge me anything for sending me the tickets in the mail? That seems really backwards. I just bought tickets for Cosmology at the Frontier: Brian Greene and Stephen Hawing at McCaw Hall.
