So, in response to the locked gate I mentioned last week, I poked at my bike a little more, trying to make it so that the left crank doesn't wobble (or worse, fall off) as it had been wont to do. Finding some success, I went on a few short runs over the weekend, then decided to do the whole rack & roll thing on public transit this week, cutting my ( Read more... )

Back in town. It's felt like a lot of traveling of late... Anyway, as spoils of a trip to a state east of Ohio, the aforementioned Pizza & Beverage moving company can include Yuengling in the salary of those appropriately aged ( Read more... )

So, I went in to work for the morning on Friday to finish up some testing work. Halfway through that, my boss walks up with a surprise notice he had just gotten. To make a long story short, I'm signed on for my first business trip. And just to make it fun (read: not have to scramble to get things shipped before UPS closed Friday), we're driving ( Read more... )

As you may or may not have picked up, I've been good about making it over to Veale three or four times a week of late to lift weights and run on a gerbil wheel^W^Wtreadmill. Something about the whole not wanting to go back under the knife, and being ready for the 5k associated with an event this summer finally gave me enough motivation in that ( Read more... )

After oversleeping a bit this morning, I walk into work late to discover I didn't miss too much... the power was out! Sort of ( Read more... )

There was a movie at Strosacker this evening (Undead, an Australian zombie-splatter-slapstick-plus-aliens kinda thing) as part of the series we're showing for the Cleveland Museum of Art's series (because their theater is out of commission this year for ( Read more... )

So, it's 5:00 AM (the radio just ran through the emergency test sequence) and where am I? At work ( Read more... )

... to riding the bus to work: co-workers pitying me. Apparently they haven't heard me the dozen or so times I've said that I take the bus to work because I want to, so I can read, doze, whatever. So they keep offering me rides home. Eh, it saves me a buck or so, and I get home in about half the time. ;-)

So, I went ahead and tried taking the bus to work today. Not all that bad. Though it's virtually impossible to use this laptop there. The non-handicapped seats don't have enough forward space, and the bus accelerates and brakes so hard that I usually need to have one hand holding the screen in place, or I'm afraid it'd snap...
