I detailed my 3 month post op visit to the surgeon over on the ACL Blog. The important take away from the visit was that I can ride my bike as much as I want now, I just have to be careful about falling or otherwise abusing my left knee.
That’s great news because it means [...]

Spring: It has sprung.
May 28, 2008 – 8:57 pm
A balmy 64 degrees here Seattle today, whoo boy! That’s exciting.
This spring is particularly welcome as it brings in the nice weather and also sees me back on my bike with a newly healed collarbone. One truly does not know how good life is until transportation, recreation and exercise are taken from them in [...]
Watch me get fat
May 6, 2008 – 10:38 pm
To me by far the most powerful effect of riding a bicycle is the freedom granted to the rider. I suppose at one time this freedom took a different form as the bicycle provided efficient transportation over distance that previously had none. Today, in the age of automobiles and mass transit there are lots of [...]

Last weekend Amanda and I moved to new digs in Eastlake. The new place is a huge move up from the last two slums we’ve lived in, a one bedroom with brand new hardwood floors in a cool 1926 brick building. The biggest difference between this place and the last two places is that this [...]
4th of July Weekend
July 6, 2007 – 12:01 pm
Tuesday after work I headed downtown on my lightly-loaded Trucker and hopped on the Ferry to Bainbridge Island, the first leg of my journey that would take me from Seattle to Guemes Island to celebrate our nation’s independence with my family.
The Seattle to Bainbridge run typifies the things I love about a ferry ride. [...]
Capitol Hill to Guemes Island
July 1, 2007 – 10:47 pm
On Friday I set out with my Dad to ride up to his cabin on Guemes Island, north of Anacortes, WA.
Our route led us through three counties and clocked in at just over 110 miles.
I started on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Taking the Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River Trails north to Woodenville where I met my [...]
Bike Rides
June 20, 2007 – 1:16 pm
Yesterday I took the day off work to make some headway on my training for the upcoming STP. The outstanding thing about our route was how many parks we were able to visit and how much of the route was on bicycle infrastructure. I’d estimate that of the 70 miles we were on designated bike [...]
Facebook App: Bikes
June 7, 2007 – 5:04 pm
So a while back I was all hott on the plan to make a bike-centric social network, but the market got crowded and I got lazy. But now that Facebook has opened up to third party developers I think i’ve got an opportunity to do it for real.
Keep you eye out for Facebook Bikes!
Freedom on Two Wheels
October 11, 2006 – 1:28 pm
Last night i had one of those awesome experiences that reminds me why i ride a bike.
After a Safety Meeting a few of us were riding downtown. A friend of mine (who shall remane nameless to protect him in his lawsuit against his employer, fuck the man!) told me a cop was yelling at us [...]
My Asset Diet
October 9, 2006 – 6:01 pm
Like most of my classmates i operated under the assumption that upon finishing college i’d move on to a job with a comfy salary and start amassing all the wealth that a college grad ought to have. Whilst still in school I spent money and collected belongings at rate that far outpaced the meager income [...]
