Surely They Jest →
Here’s a Top Ten list of what’s strange but true in the campaign so far:
(10) — Newt Gingrich’s proposal to have school kids work as janitors, starting at age 9. He would fire the “unionized janitors” and replace them with low-paid students, working under a “master” janitor. It’s hard to imagine a plan that sweepingly offends more people — educators, students, parents and janitors, to name a...

“This team is a joke. Greipel’s team signs the best of the former HTC leadout train, including [Adam] Hansen and Hendy [Greg Henderson]. Eisel, who beat me to the line today is picked up for Cav, Boonen’s going like he’s back on coke again, and all these young guns are coming at me like a fucking tennis ball machine gone mad,” commented a livid Farrar.
The cycling season officially started...

I redesigned my website. I still need a more exciting background, but the structure is there. I want to push the design in very subtle, sturdy ways, but this is essentially how it’s going to look.
It’s also a fluid design, so this one site should adjust to fit any monitor size and even look great on a mobile device.
Break it and then email me and tell me how you did it.
PS: I...

Prop. 8 Ruled Unconstitutional (For Now) →
Just now, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel released their decision ruling that Prop 8 is unconstitutional!
That means we are 2 for 2 in the courts. But we’re not done yet. Our opponents are certain to appeal today’s decision to the full 9th Circuit and/or the U.S. Supreme Court. This victory belongs to all of us and must be defended by all of us.
I think it’s great how the...

I hate to get all political on you (ahaahaha just kidding, I am always political), but as someone who rides a bike daily, this shit is very important to me.

Facebook stock is going public, eh?
theneilshow2:
~I’d sure “Like” to “Follow” some of them to the bank!
~I guess those investors will be known as… “The $ocial Net-worth!”
~In www.facebook.com, the www stands for “Wealthy, wealthy, wealthy!”
~Their “friend requests” are Ferarri’s!
Thank you. Tip your waitress!
Terrible.

I'm supposed to meet a college friend tonight

altidude: Plenty of people call QR codes today’s CueCat — but a roller-skating horse is much funnier.
I’d never heard of the CueCat, but it’s impossible to not see a frowny face in their logo, which is made all the more funny by their total failure. :C

Spinlister: Peer-To-Peer Bike Sharing Gets Rolling →
This is test launching in a couple of cities in California. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I don’t have enough time to sort through them all at the moment.
My initial thoughts are: Maybe, but I’m not convinced.

Sweden Plans A New Superhighway For Cyclists →
The latest to emerge is in Sweden, where there’s a proposal to build a 12.5-mile bike superhighway to connect the college town of Lund to the metropolis of Malmö. This supercykelväg, as the Swedes call it, would have two lanes in each direction with fences and landscaping to both separate it from traffic and provide wind protection. In a brilliant addition, the plans also call for multiple bike...
