One day after I get back from Burning Man, I hear that Palm has canceled the Foleo. Though the product hadn’t even shipped yet, it was in such a late stage of development. Palm made the right decision, but the announcement still comes as a shock to me. Very few…

There’s a good comment on Felix’s site from another user of Air Free Tires: George wrote: OK, I put around 200mi on the HP tires. They are: – much rougher riding than my normal tires @ 90psi (yes, that’s what I run as I only weigh 140lbs). You can feel…

Here’s the photo of the tree root that we cut the other day. Doesn’t it look like a Flood Infection Form from Halo? It took us over an hour to saw and rip that thing out of the ground. We had to saw off roots from at least six separate…

We’re in the midst of replacing one of our fences here at our house this week. Over the weekend, we cleared out a lot of vegetation a foot from the base of the fence. Gardening is hard work, especially since we don’t have green thumbs! Today, Duran Fencing took out…
