Ragnar Relay - Exchange 18
Saturday, July 25th, 2009Now we’re waiting at the third major exchange for van #1 to finish up legs 13-18. It’s going to be a longish night, but we’ll try to get some shut eye after we trade off at exchange 24.
Our first set went well, i did my leg under 8 minute pace, which is what I’d hoped for. We had one runner mishap where our 12th runner took a turn incorrectly (60 degree turn instea of 90) and ran an extra 3.4 miles than he was supposed to - 10.4 vs. 7.0. The extra he ran is more than the entire length of my first leg, and he did it faster than I did mine! But, he was complaining that he didn’t have long enough to run, so it serves him right.
Overall it has been pretty fun, but next time I’d like to train more and get some longer legs to run.
Van 1 just checked in to say they’re on their last leg, so it’s almost time to move out and run some more. Gotta go!
Ragnar Relay - Exchange 6
Friday, July 24th, 2009We are hanging out at Bellingham High School during the Ragnar Relay Northwest Passage (www.ragnarrelay.com/NorthwestPassage/index.php), waiting for runner #6 to come into the exchange so our van can take over and run legs 7-12.
Here are some pictures of our newly decorated van.
Now we're off to run!
Nothin’ like painting at midnight! (Yes, I took a 2 month break, but now I’ve got two coats on, one or two left.)

I’ll have a few more pictures to add to the set, probably tomorrow, but for now we are exhausted and going to bed.
Tomorrow we’ll head to heidelberg, on bicycle!
iPhone
Thursday, July 31st, 2008I got an iPhone last night, without too much trouble; I just called around and saw that the store in Lynnwood had phones. I drove up after work, waited about 15 minutes, and I had a new 16 gb iPhone! I stayed up way too late playing with it, and then realized I still had to pack for Chicago, so I stayed up a little later yet.
Now I’m trying out the wordpress app, it seems to have a nice clean interface. I’ll try to post some stuff about lollapalooza, though I might just fall back on twitter, well see.
Time to go to work!
SP3 stole my address toolbar
Friday, July 11th, 2008For no apparent reason, I decided to upgrade my dinosaur-puter to Win XP SP3 last night. When I turned it on this morning, I was surprised to see that the address toolbar that I use in the Taskbar was nowhere to be found. I looked around and found out that the functionality had been removed due to legal reasons, something about too much IE integration into Windows. Obviously the integration still exists, all they did was get rid of this feature to make it seem less integrated.
However, after looking around some more, I found a way to get my precious address bar back:
1. Click and drag “My Computer” to the top or side of the screen or desktop. This creates a new toolbar.
2. Right click on the new My Computer toolbar and select Toolbar->Address
3. Click and drag the new “Address” bar to the Taskbar.
Stupid laws, always trying to infringe on my rights. or something.
Misadventures in Camping
Monday, June 23rd, 2008I went camping this past weekend with a big group of friends, had a lot of fun (except for one part, more on that later). We stayed at an unofficial campsite on Cle Elum Lake, a couple hours east of here.

MORE T-SHIRTS.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Damn it, Threadless.com had another t-shirt sale and I have yet again purchased two more T-shirts. I am weak to the allure of the t-shirt siren’s call. I’m pretty sure that I have on the order of 25 internet-ordered T-shirts, which is bordering on the ridiculous. Scratch that, I think I’ve moved beyond “bordering” and am now a resident of ridiculous t-shirt-buying-land.
I NEED HELP. (and more T-shirts)
