Evernote Dumpage
Back in 2010, I was looking for a note taking solution. I had a taste of the Microsoft solution, OneNote, but being a “Mac” person, and the fact that OneNote wasn’t cross platform, and I went looking for a solution. The obvious choice at the time was Evernote. Cross platform, and while it wasn’t as…

Music Streaming Services Revisited
In the last installment, I had raved wildly about Apple’s then new ‘Music’ service. Same price as Spotify, filled some holes that Spotify had in their library, and since they have my entire collection in their cloud, they have the inside track on offering suggestions that I will enjoy. Add to that the fact that…

Bicycling Magazine – More hilarity
As a Performance Bike “member“, I get a free subscription to Bicycling Magazine. I find that every month, I almost (barely) enjoy thumbing through this rag because it is chock full of hilarity. I have written on it before, and this may be my last installment. Like most print magazines, their once vaunted position of…

BDIU – Driving – Audi takes top spot
In this year’s balloting for the biggest douche in the Universe – Drivers, we have a new winner. A position that has been literally owned by BMW drivers so long, it seemed hereditary, has finally been overtaken by Audi drivers. BMW drivers have held the top position for so long it is almost prehistoric. From…

Insane bicyclist
This morning, I saw quite possibly the most ballsy, insane bicyclist I have seen in a LONG time. And that is saying something. As I exited off of 280 at Lawrence Expressway, this dude on his bike pulled off of Lawrence behind me. The light changed, and he kept taking the whole lane, turning left…

The Aftermath
After the low speed, but still catastrophic fall cycling yesterday, I knew that the next day would be brutal. I am not disappointed. The swelling is down, the golfball-sized lump on my elbow is gone, and the scrapes are scabbing up. Yay. However, the other damage is now coming to the front. The inventory isn’t…

Bad Day of Cycling
Statistically, the more you ride, the more likely it is that something bad will happen. Bicycling is no different. Every time I set out on the road, I realize that things can go horribly wrong. Today, that was put to the test. I started off on my usual 33+ mile loop, with a twist. The…

Marketing Coolness – NanoWorld
Once in a while, I will stumble across something that is unique, and memorable. Being in marketing, I have a finely tuned eye for clever messaging. Recently, my spidey sense went all tingly. NanoSensors, part of the NanoWorld group, was exhibiting in our distributor’s booth at the JASIS conference in Japan. They had some cool…

Traffic Woes
I am wondering what the heck is up. The last 4 weeks have heralded an uptick in traffic here in the south bay, a real escalation. Traffic has been awful here in the bay area for a long time. Before I moved away, it was bad. But, in the 12 years I was in Arizona…

A tough ride
After yesterday morning where I spend a few hours doing bicycle maintenance, I got a good mountain bike ride in. Alas, I forgot to turn on Strava, so I get no credit. Today, I headed out for a ride. I left around 9:00AM. A little late for me, and I considered a mountain bike ride.…
