When Jorge asked me to sign up with him for the 2007 Death Ride, I said yes without really thinking what I was getting myself into. It was only after signing up did I think to look on Felix’s website to see if he had done the race. Sure enough,…

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been testing and comparing the battery life of the iPhone with my previous phones. My Sony Ericsson t68i lasted a long time when I first got it, easily allowing me to go a week before having the recharge it. The Blackberry drained more…
