July 4th at the Ranch

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

Looking forward to spending the weekend up at the Stent’s Thousand Springs Ranch with the Bianchi/Stent posse this weekend. There will be cycling, moutain biking, drinking and I am sure a bunch of other things going on. Danielle and I are hoping to leave tonight to get a jump start on the traffic tomorrow. Plus, […]

San Francisco Summer Cycling

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Well, Summer is officially here. I woke up looking forward to a 35 mile ride this morning and when I looked outside, the streets were soaking wet. I was a little tardy on ordering some new tires as the rear on my bike is quite worn and has very little tread left on it […]

Meet the Parents Weekend

Friday, June 24th, 2005

It is a parents meet parents weekend. My folks are scheduled to arrive this morning from New York to meet Danielle’s parents this weekend. It is funny how much excitement and energy an “event” like this can create. I was thinking that maybe I should video tape the whole weekend to capture those special […]

Well, it sure doesn’t look like much, but I finally put together the finishing touches on a simple three column theme for Word Press. The theme is all zipped up and you can find out more information on my Three Column Theme page. If you find anything that needs fixing, be sure to let […]

Euro Cave Wine Cellars

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

I am awaiting approval to become a reseller for the Wine Enthusiast. Many of you have heard of them as they run a big wine magazine as well as a large mail order operation. For some reason they sent me a wholesale catalog a couple of weeks back and I finally got around to sending […]

Construction Workers at 7am

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Who was the person that decided construction should start at 7am? Most people I know, don’t get up that early in the morning. I do on most days, but why should hammering, jackhammering, tractors, fork lifts and every other extremely loud piece of equipment start operating at 7am? I never have understood this. […]

SF Weather

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Well, my folks are coming into town this weekend to meet Danielle’s parents and right on schedule the weather has turned sour here in San Francisco. It has been gorgeous and yesterday was the nicest of them all. It was probably around 75-80 between here and Tiburon. Danielle, Leslie Olrich and I got out […]

The Last Mobile Phone You Will Ever Buy

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, Sparkfun Electronics releases, to my knowledge, the first Rotary GSM mobile phone ever created. This is a fully functional rotary dial telephone that is 100% mobile. It comes with a rechargeable battery, like any mobile phone, and can hold a charge […]

Cell Phones and Speakers

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

What is the deal with cell phones and speakers? Every time my cell phone is within a few feet of an amplified speaker, it buzzes and beeps every couple of minutes. If I get a phone call, it is like a Chinese Fire Drill. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It […]

Motorola IHF 1000 Bluetooth Car Kit

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

Some of the new Acuras, BMWs and Jaguars are coming with Bluetooth handsfree systems built into the car. You can transition between phone to car and back to your phone seamlessly via the Bluetooth hands free profile. So, what do you do if you don’t have one of these cars? You buy yourself […]

Time for Another SATA Drive

Friday, June 17th, 2005

I am not sure how New Egg does it sometimes. I need to get another SATA (Serial ATA) drive for the Home Media PC as the music drive has somehow become full. And, after seeing how great the SATA drives perform, combined with the tiny cable they use to connect to the motherboard, […]

Free Calls to Puerto Rico

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Vonage announced yesterday that they will be including all calls to Puerto Rico under all Vonage calling plans. This is pretty cool if your name is John Metzler and your wife has family in Puerto Rico. Hmm, maybe Heher could use this as well, I know he has traveled down there quite a bit. […]

Continental Grand Prix 4 Season Tires

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

I purchased a set of the Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tires as they were touted as the best wet weather cycling tire on the market. They are quite sticky and made from a soft rubber compound. The only drawback is that they wear pretty quickly. I went through the rear tire in […]

Vestments

Monday, June 13th, 2005

I was just running through, “What’s Hot on eBay” and noticed that in the collectibles category, Vestments are one of the hottest items right now. I did a little investigating and here is what I found out about Vestments:
“Vestments are to be worn by the clergy in performing the ceremonies of the services of the […]

Blogging Taking Off

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Well, if I am doing it, everyone is doing it. Maybe not. But, I have been seeing the effects of an ever increasing number of people using Blogging software. One of the most popular “pinging” services, Ping-o-matic, has been straining to keep up with the demands on their service lately. Usually, when I […]

Three Column Theme

Monday, June 13th, 2005

I am working on a three column theme for Word Press since it seems the ones that are out there look like hell. I will be releasing mine to the public…I just need to finish it up and figure out how to make it available. J/K
It will be called ThreeColumn and you see […]

Who Makes the Most Milk?

Monday, June 13th, 2005

Anyone know which state produces the most milk in the United States? Yup, it is Califorina which produces 21% of all milk produced in the United States today. This equates to about 4.1 billion gallons of milk a year, almost twice 2nd place Wisconsin’s output of 2.6 billion gallons. That is a lot of […]
