6. June, 2002 - bikes, ball, other fun
- Yesterday I biked (triked) to my current client's office for the first time. 14.83 miles each direction. Took 1.5 hours each way, but I made it without having to call for a sag-wagon, which felt pretty good. Plus there was about 15 minutes of cool-down on each end. I think I'll be doing it again. On an evening when traffic sucks (which is pretty often lately), it takes almost that long to drive the 18 miles home by car.
- Speaking of which: As commuting times grow in Twin Cities, cars still reign. Maybe bike commuting will work well for me getting out to the suburbs when I have to. We'll see how it goes over time, I guess. [strib]
- Cops Harrass Bicyclists an article originally printed in The Pulse was reprinted on Indymedia. Bad Cop! No Donut! [Jim]
- Big Louisville Slugger benched for refinishing. That's one big bat. [some guy]
- The F-15 Eagle used for crowd control: F-15s inadvertently save the day. [fark!]
- Mysteries Under Moscow and the diggers who uncover them. [boing boing]
- Macworld tells you how to Turn Your LPs or Cassettes into CDs. They don't mention that you should allocate at least 3 times the running time of the initial source to the process. I've been set up to do this for over a year, but I've only pulled in a handful of things from the original analog because for the time involved, it's cheaper for me to find even an expensive import CD on the web than to spend the time sucking in analog. All the things I've imported are ones that won't ever be on CD.
- This morning, about 7:30, they started grinding out the old mortar on the church wall about 12 feet from my computer. I only hope the fact that they've gotten so close to my window means they're almost done.
