  • Spotted: F’d Up Reporting

    Arctic sea ice shrinks to 2nd-lowest on record. 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). Read the article… Read it… And tell me what you found? Hopefully you found that it actually grew from 1.59 to 1.74…

  • My Day Off – 3:35pm

    Holy crap, I’m sweaty and exhausted. RunI head on over to Pierce Mill (yes, ‘I’ before ‘E’ despite what the website and half the signs at the site say… I’ve discussed it with a park ranger and he gave me the lowdown that they have never been sure, but recently decided to go ‘I’ before ‘E,’ but have made no effort to fix it…

  • Game: Project Gotham Racing 4

    Having played PGR3, having a great time with it, then playing Forza 2, becoming very bored with it very quickly, I was very excited for this title. Since I had a handfull of games already, I was very resistant to pick it up new, but a guy on a forum had one for sale locally for a very cheap price (I saved $20) so…

  • 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. The stats:Driving to work – 10 minutesParking at work – 3 minutesCost…
