  • Heading out with the Community Cycles rolling bike clinic for a day of bicycle fixation. #
  • I have a special place in my heart for cantilever brakes with irreplaceable sun baked plastic parts. Not. #
  • I am in love with this Fascinating Modern Age We Live In. Thank you for existing. #
  • Another day, another hike at dawn. I think I must be a good 30-50% underslept since moving to Colorado. #
  • Headed northward to build some bikes for Community Cycles… #
  • CO plate 699 VNW parked blocking bike lame on south bound 19th just north of Edgewood. #
  • Bike building and beer, cool ride downhill from north Boulder, lightning flashing in the east, blowing kisses on the wind. #
  • Due to an unforeseen lack of coffee, this morning will be delayed by an hour. #
  • While reading "Born With A Bang" to Ada (6 yo) I found it hard not to get teary eyed. #
  • I hate finding a sex-crazed coke fiend in my kitchen… especially when they're chopping garlic and chiles on my silicone baking sheet. #
  • Leatherman multi-tool: $27. Silicone menstrual cup: $23. Look on the checkout clerk's face: priceless. #
  • It seems that zero hours of sleep plus a ride up Lee Hill is really quite a bit less rest than two hours of sleep. #
  • Waffles at White Russians for breakfast at 4:20pm? And now heading down to Denver for 1st Fridays and some of that so-called "culture". #
  • They should really pedestrianize Santa Fe for first Fridays in Denver. It's a crazy people zoo! #
  • #TEDxBoulder was okay, not awesome. I wonder what the speaker selection process was like. Did inspire good conversation w/ @86redshoes tho #

  • I've got the heart and lungs to run a couple of miles barefoot at 5400 feet. If only I had spring-a-ling legs to match! http://bit.ly/d7hB9D #
  • 3k barefoot night run + 15k hike to ~4000m at 6am == slow shuffling and no love of stairs. But then again, what did I think would happen? #
  • I think maybe I am finally caught up on sleep. Now if only I had some massage oil and a masseuse for these ridiculous calves. #
  • My current digs: http://bit.ly/abEs5z And a typical Colorado Monday in summer: http://bit.ly/9ZjW6E #
  • RT @bouldergobldr: We need 2 more volunteers 4 the bike parking count on Fri. 7-8pm & Sat. 11am-Noon. Contact hagelinc@bouldercolorado.gov #
  • Awesome morning ride to Ward via Lee Hill: cloudy up, sunny down, Sichuan dan dan noodles and good conversation at the top. Thanks Lincoln! #
  • Heading down to Lakewood on the GS to play some Celtic tunes. And I'm running late of course. #
  • Bryan, Stephanie, Mike, Susan, Isadora, Liz, me, waffles, uh, is there *anybody* out there working today? 🙂 #
  • Local atmospheric Raleigh number spiking. Nap time must be over. #
  • Is there really ever such a thing as TMI? http://zaneselvans.org/#location #
  • Okay, an hour of phone futzing in bed is plenty. More than plenty even. #
  • Headed to the reservoir to go swimming. #
  • Counting bikes for the DoT in @downtownboulder #
  • Estamos jugando Scrabble en espanol, pero no hay enye aqui! #
  • Off to count more parked bicycles w/ @bouldergobldr in @downtownboulder Today during the Farmer's Market. #
  • Is it hot in here, or did I just send an incredibly awkward e-mail? I both hate and love computers. And sometimes, I just don't know. #
  • Not sure what that was, but in any case, it was enjoyable, and involved bikes, beer, and Boulder, so how can I lose? #

  • Every single shoe store in Boulder is sold out of Vibram FiveFingers. WTF? Must be that paper in Nature. #
  • The first photographic installment of my ultramontane lotus eaters propaganda campaign: http://bit.ly/diTKMA You will move to Boulder… 🙂 #
  • Two summers later, I am *still* having transcendental habañero flashbacks (hot sauce from the freezer). Those plants were unreal. #
  • How can I be this hungry and tired? Oh right, a day spent half running from rain/hail/lightning between 2800m & 3500m in RMNP will do that. #
  • Awesome misty morning talk & hike to Royal Arch w/ Megan. Cautiously optimistic about T-mobile. Going to install a kickstand for a friend. #
  • When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. Or, well, amateur — in my case anyway. I'm not in this for the money. #
  • Weeding a friend's garden is like watching their kids. Bite-sized responsibilities and rewards, and everyone benefits. #
  • Torrential sunshower, hallelujah! #
  • Well that was fabulously entertaining, in a curiously high school kind of way… #
  • Bryan snoring after 15hour bike & Longs Peak odyssey. I hiked to Divide, walked to dinner. Wonderful sunset. Need to sleep. #

  • Getting a little altitude with a fellow slacker for the day… #
  • A long hot day of walking and talking. Like finding a long lost branch of your tribe, which you didn't really know existed. #
  • Supposed to be 37°C tomorrow. I think I'm gonna tube down Boulder Creek. Woo hoo! #
  • Somehow, it's more fun to persistently not get quite enough sleep while retired than while working. #
  • Lounged with a friend amidst the towering cairns in cool Boulder Creek through the heat of the day. Ah, burritos, spices, girls & bicycles. #
  • Made it to aikido at Boulder Aikikai tonight. Sweaty, but sweet. #
  • Supposed to be roughly body-temperature in Boulder Saturday. I think I'm going to get high: http://bit.ly/9tsxdg #
  • I have a red rug from Quchan, Iran, near the Turkmen border. If Allah wills it, one day I will visit by bicycle. #
  • Intelligence & wisdom are really different things, and it seems like wisdom only comes with having already screwed things up at least once. #
  • Biked Boulder-Jamestown-Ward-Gold Hill loop. Stopped to rest in shade on a climb. Butterflies landed on me and drank my sweat like nectar! #

  • Had an unexpectedly awesome weekend in the mountains. Apparently being friendly isn't nearly as hard as I thought, in the right context. #
  • Today's bad idea: going to the DMV w/o having had any coffee. Ugh. #
  • Bleah. Woke up with a funky stomach. Still nibbling unenthusiastically on breakfast 6 hours later. #
  • Good for romance; good for night vision. It's been a long time since I had a den of my own. #
  • must stop referring to the humans in the third person. #
  • Why is it that sometimes, right when I think that the weirdness is totally maxed out, someone goes and cranks it up to 11? #
  • It's good to occasionally remember that the fact that everyone else is crazy doesn't necessarily mean you are sane. #
  • Sounds of happy inebriated people laughing on Pearl in the cool breezy Colorado night from my bedroom window. #
  • If *Bryan* doesn't want something anymore, it's a good bet that no thrift store wants it either! #

  • The sound of mingling laughter should never make one cry. #
  • I hesitate to say it, but I think I'm completely packed and ready to go. #
  • By some miracle of SoCal public transportation, I can easily walk + train all the way to the place this other guy is moving from in Tarzana. #
  • Truck half packed with only minor injuries… #
  • Truck and trailer seem gigantic compared to my bike and trailer… Heading out from SoCal, aiming for Green River, UT tonight. #
  • 12 hours of driving is just about the edge of reason. Thankfully tomorrow is more like 6. #
  • Time for part 2: the National District Attorney's Conference on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. #
  • I am 80302! Unpacked into garage, ate a burrito on bustling Pearl, live music and beer garden on a Wed. night, kids squealing in fountains. #
  • Heading for the hills with some freaks and geeks for the weekend. #

  • How did it get to be 4:30am? Ah, those kiwis. #
  • I think it might be nap time. #
  • Holy crap. Ever wonder what a SCOTUS nominee's inbox looks like? http://bit.ly/ddAMqv #
  • What oh what order does the To Do list impose on my transient existence today? #
  • This whole graduation thing makes me feel kind of like I'm putting all my relationships in the recycling bin. #
  • What's wrong with graduate school? Where do I even begin! http://bit.ly/aS0bgK #
  • An enthusiastic young guy from the Internet, and his groggy friend w/ a truck are removing our compost and dirt and tires. Sweet! #

  • There's a special kind of irritation that comes from realizing you've been following rules you only thought existed. #
  • Everything is possible, but nothing of interest is easy. Some boring things aren't easy either. Just re-opened my NSR/TPW paper draft. #
  • This would be the ideal way to go about selling homebrew to children: http://bit.ly/bTgVLm #
  • Things I don't have enough time for: ordering anything from Steve. Using a liter of olive oil or 5lbs of sugar. 10 day eBay auctions. #
  • Another victory for the Internet! I'm giving my 700c touring wheel to a French family touring in China: http://bit.ly/ceoPtA #
  • Please don't do peer review or editorial work for journals that don't support open access. It just encourages them: http://bit.ly/arieQ4 #
  • I hate trying to sleep with a mosquito hovering around somewhere within earshot. #

  • A.S. Neill's Summerhill School needs science teachers. Just how hard is it to get a UK work permit? http://bit.ly/cUNKfB #
  • A Softer World, why does it feel like you are stalking me sometimes? http://bit.ly/cHWTfu #
  • I can count my remaining SoCal days on my fingers and toes. Yikes! #
  • Anybody know of good long-distance rideshare coordination site? E.g. to find someone to share a moving truck, LA to CO at the end of June? #
  • Dude with a mattock dug a hole next door, right into a gas line. Now we're just chillin' with the cops and firemen. They said no BBQs today. #
  • Is there such a thing as too much tahini? Would a pound a week qualify? Because that's where I'm at. That's 3000 calories of tahini. #
  • Come to the Parkwood Graduation party Saturday from BBQ-o-clock until late! It's gonna be bankrolled by JBL: http://bit.ly/cUQ88Z #
  • Well hooray for the interwebs. I found someone else moving from here to Boulder on the same day, that already has a truck rented! #

  • Some pictures from my rainy Monrovia Canyon/Rincon Red Box/Mount Wilson loop: http://bit.ly/c2RcYR #
  • The piece of clothing I've held on to the longest: a summer kimono from my host family in Japan, 20 years ago. Finally going to Goodwill. #
  • Thurs. AM 1/22/87: Zane hit Chris Kessloff in the eye after Chris pulled on his jacket. Zane may return to school on Tues. 1/27/87. #

  • Picked my green bike up from @pasadenacyclery using my black bike and walked home feeling like I had a beautiful woman on each arm. #
  • What it is about Zilchbrau that makes it so reliably bring out the crazy? #
  • Headed to the dunes for some warm stargazing. #
