Observations of the day.

August 17th, 2008

Doing my 40 mile bike ride today, I ran into the following drivers who may be elligible for the darwin awards real soon.

1) Driver with food in one hand and a cell phone in the other (25 mph). She didn’t see any of the cyclests around her and almost wipe out one of them.

2) Driver who thinks a Yield sign means I am bigger than you so I won’t stop. I pointed to the yeild sign and explained he needed to yeid. I got the double bird and an explitive. I hope he exits the gene pool real soon.

3) Group riders that think they can ride 5 abreast on a two way bike path. Where the F*CK do you think I am going to go you selfish idiot?

About time I made a decision.

Ok, those that know me, know that I take forever to make technology purchasing decisions. In my job, I have no problem saying, “This is what we need to buy” and just do it. In my personal life I agonize over buying everything. I hate make decisions on technology because it changes so quickly and I feel like if I just wait I can get a better deal or better tech.

I have been waiting about two years to decide on getting an SLR digital camera. I have watched my friends buy and sell them over the last few years but still wanted to wait.

Last night I decided to finally jump into the pool and purchased the Canon Xsi

Xsi

It should take about a week to arrive, which is good since I will be on business travel until next Saturday. I look forward to it arriving when I get back.

Thanks to Trevor for this little piece of information on how to manually run a time machine backup from the command line: /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/backupd-helper

Simple to put into cron when needed.

While watching the woman’s gymnastics tonight I noticed an american flag in the stands improperly displayed. I think that every patriotic american should understand the rules. While surfing around, I found the following site: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

For you south park fans, you will appreciate this.

There is a City Wok here in san diego.

I had to stop from laughing as we drove by.
