It all happened because I posted a few photos that I thought were funny of pro cyclists all lined up at the side of the road in the middle of a bike race, taking a pause to water the landscape with the fruits of their loins. Next thing you know, I get 98% of my [...]

The Republic of Korea accounts for 71.02% of the traffic to this blog. Something is clearly going wrong.
Explanations?

I’m just going to cite the entire New York Times article on this one.
I am afraid that Facebook has ruined me for internet updates, these days. To quote some of the interviewees in that article, maybe I will get back to it with more enthusiasm.
For the meantime, it’s a bit of a dripping faucet.

Lay off

Gosh, you all are boring.

I love artisanal bicycle caps. They don’t always suit me, but I always give them a try. Imagine my delight when my own hosting site gave birth to an interesting hat-making project in the hands of s-class, who has been making caps and giving them away anonymously around Boston.

What I Think is tired. Bike shop, bike riding, finishing up writing projects, and now a brief (hopefully) spring cold – not to mention the season finales of “The Office” and the ongoing careers of “Lost” and “Battlestar Galactica.”

Cool! Log your rides! For exactly no reason at all! Come on, you know you have all those hours at work you need to waste, why else would you be reading a blog?
Better yet, join the new Boston group right here.

I am humbled

This is the second day in a row that I opened this blog and laughed out loud just looking at the title and corresponding photo. I first clicked here thanks to Kerry Litka, and damn it if I’m not awfully white.
However, the graduate school posting made me laugh most of all. And I quote:

When Facebook went wrong

I just got an email from Facebook with a “friend request” from someone I don’t know.
Okay, it’s possible that we once or twice passed through the same airspace, but this is just weird. I went to high school with said individual. Her last name is Shifflette. In Charlottesville, VA, the “S” section of the telephone [...]
