The difference between throwing a bullet
and shooting it out of a gun 05/18/2004 01:24 AM

I've started trying to exercise more regularly for the past couple weeks, going for a 12 mile, hilly bike ride 3 times a week. Today I did my ride with a decent average speed and finished it in the shortest time yet. The loop I ride has a couple 10% grades in it and I do about 250ft of climbing through it. I was walking around the house today feeling pretty cocky about my progress when I sat down to watch one of my current favorite shows, The Lance Chronicles.

On tonight's episode they followed Lance Armstrong through his european training. One of his regular rides was a 4 1/2 hour, 30 mile climb from the flats high into the mountains, going straight up. It turns out he climbs over 13,000ft in that single ride. When I was in marathon shape, I did a few hikes where I would gain about 6,000ft in a single day from basecamp to summit, and Lance is doing more than twice that. As a training ride.

I'm thinking he's a shoe-in for this year's Tour.

Man Angry At Mobile Phone Service,
Starts Throwing Phones 05/14/2004 03:14 PM
These days, with things like number portability around, if you don't really like your mobile phone provider, you can simply change providers. Apparently, that wasn't what a man in North Dakota wanted, though. He went to the local Verizon Wireless store, pissed off about something, and when yelling at employees (his original intention) didn't satisfy him, he started to fling mobile phones around the store causing $2,000 worth of damages and injuring (not badly) an employee. Of course, you have to wonder about his claim that he only intended to yell at employees. Before he started his fling fest he apparently took off his shirt (?!?) and put on safety goggles. Amusingly, this was done at a Verizon Wireless store - and Verizon Wireless tends to get some of the best marks for customer service.

The Technical Research Centre in Finland has developed a technology to assist all of the health nuts in the world. It is a camera phone that scans barcodes at grocery stores and gives all of the nutritional information. This device also gives a purchase history and estimates how much exercise it will take to burn off calories contained. In this day and age, turning the package over and looking at the printed nutritional content is way too hard.

I love that I can look out my office window, and watch a steady curtain of rain fall gently into my backyard. It looks like the powdered milk they used in Singin' In The Rain.

Occasionally, it knocks a leaf off this old maple tree that is in one corner of my yard.

The opposite corner is flooding.

There are about a dozen finches hopping around on my chinese elm tree. The rain doesn't seem to bother them.

It's chilly out, but I opened the window a bit so I can listen to them sing.
