    It’s hard to believe that fourteen years ago on August 3, 1993, Apple released the Newton MessagePad. I was one of its early adopters, purchasing it just before my freshman year at college. It was the device that got me hooked on mobile computing, and it paved the way for…

    Very late in coming, but here are photos from WordCamp 2007, held the other week at the Swedish American Hall in San Francisco. Last year’s event was a one-day affair, but this year’s edition was over two days. Because of our BBQ Potluck and Pool Party, I was only able…

    With Rasmussen getting kicked out of the Tour de France today, we’re only a “few more” expulsions away from Frenchman and Red Lantern-holder Jérôme Pineau from winning. What other surprises are in store in the coming days? Now, Discovery teammates Alberto Contador and Levi Leipheimer are 1 and 3 respectively…

    Although I get the Versus channel here at my house, I haven’t been watching the live coverage of the Tour. After today’s revelations that our second-favorite Kazakh, Alexandre Vinokourov, has been thrown out of the Tour (along with the rest of his team) for homologous blood doping following his Stage…

    I went for a recovery ride this afternoon, a short 1+ hour spin to Foothill Expressway. When I got my bike out of the garage, I noticed the front tire pressure was quite low. The back seemed fine — after all, I had just changed the tube a few days…

    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,…

    I’m exhausted right now having completed all five passes during the Death Ride. I didn’t think that I would be able to do this, and it was the hardest physical thing I’ve ever done. 129 miles and 15,000 feet of climbing. Oh my god, I’m tired! I started the ride…
