Cart bike footage from Japanese TV on the way soon
For those that don’t know, a Japanese TV show flew me to San Francisco last month and filmed me connecting a shopping cart to a bicycle and then riding it around. Of course, i asked for a copy of the footage – and also asked if i could post a snippet here. They said they …

Site theme update
I got tired of having to size my images so small on my site and having the content use about one third of the width of my screens. I checked with google analytics and only 2.6, % of my visitors are running an 800×600 resolution. And of that small segment of visitors, 98% are new …

AV equipment for my trip

Busted up keyboard in a busted up service station
The Consumerist used one of my photos from my roadtrip with Kevin across the country to illustrate a story about a Dell settlement. We found this at High Hill where the whole town seemed to be up for auction. I actually hoped that the Consumerist would use this photo when i took it. It means …
