In case anyone is worried about the weather in San Diego county, Rancho Santa Fe to be specific, I thought I would post the average temperatures for Rancho Santa Fe here. As you can see, May is a very mild month and the only thing we should be contending with is some “June Gloom” or […]

There is one reason I subscribe to Money Magazine. I subscribe for their once-a-year real estate edition. They cover today’s hottest topics in real estate and rank the top real estate markets in the country. More than simply ranking them, they forecast the growth rate for the coming year and provide you with historical […]

After putting approximately 225 miles on the Spartacus PRO wheels, I am still in awe at how much I like them. They are still rolling true as the day they came out of the box. I have put them through some normal bumpy road riding and they have not complained one bit. The only thing […]

Just came across the Jaguar XK Victory Edition that is to be released some time soon. The car is being released to celebrate Jaguar’s XKR, Trans Am Series, race cars’ (with 650bhp) four Manufacturer’s Cup outright wins. Basically, they have been kicking the crap out of everyone else since they introduced the XKR race program. […]

Well, we are putting up a site at http://www.califorinacollegeguide.com/ and I tried to put the new version of WordPress on there (1.5). That seemed to go ok, but when I try and use one of the many freely available templates on there (one of the new features of 1.5), the new template seems to have […]

Deppy just forwarded along another crazy deal on the Dell 1905FP 19″ LCD monitor that I purchased a couple of months ago. For about $270, delivered, you get the 1905FP and a 256 MB USB memory stick. It is cheaper if you get the memory stick than if you just order the monitor. It is […]

Since we don’t presently have an HD display to watch television on, we have to use a composite (yellow RCA cable) video input or an S-Video input on the standard television right now. The Sapphire Video card comes with a S-Video/Composite input/output cable dongle that has one input and output for each format. The quality […]

This week was the first week I was back on the LeMond. I rode 4 days this week (out of 6 days…there could be a small ride tomorrow to keep the legs loose). I have not been riding at all this year, which is a shame…but, I love food! So, I am […]

Ok, I think Deppy has lost his mind. He is looking at purchasing one of these, um “brand new” rotary mobile phones. I think the boy is just plain mad.

Well, it is two days of rain this week here in San Francisco. This is the first week of my return to the world of cycling. One of the downfalls of living at the top of a big hill is that riding down it on wet pavement is just not safe. The rain has stopped […]

I just fininshed reading this Yahoo! News article on the “steroid” issue Congress is holding hearings about. First of all, why is Congress even involved in this?
“Despite what he called an “abrupt about-face” by Major League Baseball, the head of a congressional panel opened a hearing on steroids in the NBA on Thursday by saying […]

Ok, we just put together our first registry at Williams Sonoma. You can enter my last name (Golod) or Danielle’s (Bianchi) and the event date of May 20, 2006. Sorry for taking so long. If you don’t find anything on that list that you would like to purchase, we will be working on […]

Well, I mis-stated in another post about my new wheelset from Velocity. I purchased the Spartacus PRO wheelset which is a bit lighter than the standard Spartacus wheels. I took them out for a spin this morning for the first time after I put them together with some Continental Grand Prix tires and ultra-light tubes […]

Just got my Velocity Wheelset delivered yesterday. I am a little worried about them, because they were so inexpensive…we will see. They are a 24 spoke rear, 20 spoke front design called “Spartacus”. Here are the specs:
Rear: 1062g
Front: 848g
“These great wheels are built using our time tested Deep-V tims with 14g stainless steel spokes, […]

Heading down south to Palm Desert this weekend for round two of the wedding planning. We were in San Diego two weeks ago and stayed at the Rancho Valencia Resort. I recommend everyone stay there before you die. Chances are good that this will be the location for Danielle and my wedding. […]

Just an FYI for those of you who don’t know. The Parks, aka JP and Tari, had a beautiful baby girl named Tatum the other day. JP sent some funny pics, well I thought they were funny, and I will try and get them up here when I get back on Sunday. Congrats you two […]

Okay, now things are getting out of control. Nokia has just launched a free new Bluetooth service for their Bluetooth enabled phones called Nokia Sensor. You can check out the demo movie here. This is just plain crazy. In the demo, two people at a club meet because of Nokia Sensor. What […]

I just noticed that Nokia put out a Bluetooth keyboard to work with their Series 60 phones. The 6620 is the only Series 60 phone in the USA right now and that happens to be what I own. The only drawback is that the thing costs $150. That is pretty steep Nokia, how about […]

Well, I guess I was one of the fortunate ones when I built my Home Media Center PC. I read about many people’s issues with their TV tuner cards not working at first or later ceasing to function in their MCE 2005 machines. A couple of days ago, I began receiving error messages and […]

I am either just learning how to drink, or I laugh too much at my own jokes. I was sitting at the computer the other day, working on my brand new Dell 19″ LCD monitor when I laughed at something stupid. The problem is that I had just taken a sip of my Orange Gatorade […]
