- back to commuting - back to being screamed at by ignorant motoristsFor the past year, I didn't live far enough from work to bother bicycling (I was walking to work), but I recently started a new job, so yesterday was my first bicycle ride to work and back. It felt great! It was also nice that the snow had melted so that there was room for me on the side of the road. But on my way home, an ignorant motorist shouted out […]buffalo2wheeler
- I can't wait to try out Google's maps for BICYCLE routes!I've been waiting for this for a long time. At one point, I started working on a program that would use Google's map tools to create bicycle routes, but the programming was a little over my head. Google Maps Finally Adds Bike Routes (click here for complete article on Wired.com) At long last, Google Maps has routes specifically for bikes. read more […]buffalo2wheeler
- New Orleans bike taxis could get City Council OKI'm going to write a note to these people to ask for a copy of the draft legislation mentioned in the article. I hope the legislation passes, because it will help keep bike taxis (AKA pedicabs) on the street in other cities. Who knows, it could even encourage people to PUT bike taxis on their streets.

Wouldn’t it be better if they wrote for information to an email address like […]
- First Impressions CountThe first impression your business makes on a web site is important. This probably comes as no surprise to you, because it sounds like common sense. But some Canadian researchers have quantified the theory in a study published in January 2006.

We all want to know what you got for X-mas though…
I’m only hoping something delightfully nerdy.
In our house, we just give the kids presents. From my brother-in-law, though, I got a pair of flip-flops that have a bottle opener in the sole! How hilarious is that?
But don’t think that I don’t play with all the toys we gave the kids. I love Legos and trains as much as any middle-aged nerd.
Did you have a good Christmas?
It was great. I took myself on vacation to Chicago as a reward for being good this year.
I’ve always wanted to go to Chicago. My friend Rich lives out there, I should go visit him one of these years….
