Sec­ond by sec­ond, the Qeng Ho count­ed from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth­’s moon. But if you looked at it still more close­ly… the start­ing instant was actu­al­ly some hun­dred mil­lion sec­onds lat­er, the 0‑second of one of Humankind’s first com­put­er oper­at­ing systems.

My first set of met­ric wrench­es is, by coin­ci­dence, the last set of met­ric wrench­es in the city of Palo Alto.… Read the rest

For the last sev­er­al months I’ve been strug­gling with The Miss­ing Sync soft­ware which han­dles syn­chro­niza­tion between my Palm and my Mac. It’s been very bro­ken and so I’ve had all the con­duits dis­abled. For MONTHS, that is. I’ve been putting up with things not work­ing right because, basi­cal­ly, that’s how com­put­ers are. They don’t work right unless you hap­pen to be both high­ly skilled and have the time to trou­bleshoot them and bend them to your will.

My run­ning this year has been very spo­radic. I’ve only logged about 75 miles for the whole year so far. I blame part of it on my new motor­cy­cles (No won­der all those Harley guys are so fat) and part of it on all the tran­si­tions I’ve been through this year but the bot­tom line is, if I’m not run­ning I’m deny­ing myself some­thing I real­ly love.

It took a while to get out there today, but I took advan­tage of … Read the rest

I took the Red Wings in to get resoled on Sun­day, and they say it’ll take over a week before I get them back. That means I’m going to have to wear some oth­er kind of boots for my ride up to Tahoe and Yosemite this com­ing weekend.

I’m wear­ing my Doc Martens around, but I don’t think they’re up for the task of pro­tect­ing my feet or pro­vid­ing any sort of ankle sup­port. They feel like car­pet slip­pers after … Read the rest

OK, I want­ed light read­ing and I’m a big fan of the film Logan’s Run, so I was intrigued by this sequel when I saw it in ‘s give­away pile. It was a quick read, I’ll give it that much. Noth­ing thought-pro­vok­ing about it and it was­n’t very sat­is­fy­ing. Logan’s the hero, so of course every shot he fires finds its mark and every woman wants his hork tool. Hood­lums rec­og­nize him and repay their debts of hon­or to him … Read the rest
