Spotted: F’d Up Reporting
<a href=”http://www.usatoday.com/weather/climate/2008-09-16-arctic-sea-ice_N.htm?csp=34″ target=”_blank”>Arctic sea ice shrinks to 2nd-lowest on record</a>. Sadly, I’m sure 90% of Americans read it and say “Oh, that sucks” and they go about their normal lives, living in fear that the world is ending (in reality, it’s just our economy).<br/><br/>Read the article… Read it… And tell me what you found?<br/><br/>Hopefully you […]

I rode to work
I ran to work a week or two ago, but yesterday was the first time I biked to work. Overall, good experience. Glebe Road is a bit hectic and I certainly feel less safe on a pedla bike than the motorcycle, but I think I’ll continue doing it from time to time.<br/><br/>The stats:<br/>Driving to work […]
