It was a weekend of cracked out excitement. On Friday Shelley and I went for an late night bike ride and then spent some quality time watching Battlestar Galactica. We had hoped to meet up with Chris and Tyler but timing was off and they ended up enjoying time at the Independent in the [...]
The best thing that happened was the arrival of my EEE PC 901 on Monday. I spent most of the day working on updating it and getting it to where I wanted and accidentally deleted the Windows XP installation right before going to bed.. D’oh.
On Tuesday my fixed gear GT-Gutterball bike was christened Angharad. [...]
It was a weekend of fast things and fake bushes. Friday was a drive to Titusville, Florida for the launch of the Endeavor on STS-127 (Fast thing #1) to the International Space Station. Although it was a grand adventure the Space Shuttle did not launch due to a leak in the hydrogen fueling system.
Saturday was [...]
I am consistently amazed at the little treasures that have started turning up. This week I found a Porsche 356 in Gulfport. Sadly I never caught the owner’s name..
She is the second owner of the vehicle, buying it for $3000 about forty years ago, when she was 18. At twenty one she had driven her [...]
The bike has a name. Angharad, (from wikipedia) pronounced [a-ngha-rad, an-gharad], is a popular name in Celtic countries, particularly Wales, having a long association with Celtic royalty, history and myth. Angharad is also spelt as Anghared. From Welsh it translates to English: much loved one.

I have accepted a position in New York City and will be moving to Brooklyn later this week! (You should picture me dancing about bubbling with excitement as you hear those words) For those of you that hadn't heard it is a recent development... less than a week since the offer. So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...
Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...
I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water.
