Closing Out August

Wow. I got really good at blowing off days this month. Despite a few meh days and some skipped rides dealing with trying to figure out moving-related stuff, I can’t complain too much about August. It was the 12th month in a row over 500 miles. It wasn’t the fastest month to date, nor was […]


Rambunctious Stomp

After going to work really early this morning (I arrived at 06:30), I rode all my miles in one kick after work. I needed to run to the bookstore during lunch (and the bank after work). Summer has started to return recently and the temperature was around 90°F when I headed out for my ride […]


Week 34

After skipping Monday because I spent too much time at the Apple store after work, I completed the rest of the week, except Saturday, in solid form. On Saturday, I scheduled an off day so I could deal with moving-related stuff. I still haven’t moved anything, so I guess there will be no ride next […]


Google Talk

Google released Google Talk this morning. It uses your existing Google account for your Talk sign-on. It’s all on the Jabber protocol and works with any third party client that supports Jabber. Yeah, I’m on. I’m apollolee, of course. Say hi, if you like.


Week 33

I started off the week with a 31.72 mile day. Recalculating on Tuesday made me realize that it might just be possible for me to finish my entire year’s mileage goal on Saturday. So, I adjusted my weekdays to 33 miles and scheduled myself for a metric century on Saturday. A couple of the commutes […]


Reaching 5000

After messing around in Sunnyvale for a little bit too long, I hit the road for my Saturday ride this afternoon at a little after 4, leaving me just under four hours to do a metric century before sunset. I climbed up to Portola Valley, replenished my water supply, and wasted 40 minutes chattering with […]

Slide

After my long nap this afternoon, I decided to go up to Slide, an underground party off Cesar Chavez in San Francisco. Patrick and Gigi were there and it was the first time I got to hang out with them in a month. I arrived one minute before the cheap cover cutoff and hustled inside. […]


Week 32

I was so ready to pull my 31.37 mile weekdays and 52.28 mile Saturday off this week. It started perfectly, although a little bit slowly. But, a nap on Saturday ran a little long after I was on the dancefloor Friday night until 4am. So much for that. Riding next week may be slightly difficult […]

Aqua Vitae

I’d been looking forward to this party for a long time. Aqua Vitae at the Blue Cube was the party, but it was all about the headliner. Dubtribe Sound System‘s last confirmed show in Northern California was absolutely not a party to be missed. A live set by Hesohi was icing on the cake. Lakshmana […]
