Zoe went with Sara to her riding lesson, and got to do all sorts of cool stuff. She even got a turn riding the horse.

Travel is hard.

Today’s “stuff I might as well wish for since I ain’t buyin it” focus is on Helmets. I really like these two:


HCI Retro 50 $99.95	Nolan N-30 Flashback $169.95

The Nolan really is a nice helmet – I’ve tried it on and actually like the fit. The downside is that it has a bit of a “scooter” vibe, which makes me feel like a dirty hipster. The HCI fits like a mixing bowl, but does compliment the overall look and feel of the Chang Jiang. It’s also much cheaper, even if I throw in a pair of these:

What do YOU think? Apart from “Joe is a giant dork”, obviously.

Good guys. Good Music. Good Gimmick. Great bikes. What’s not to love?

Geek Night

I’ve had several discussions lately about the future of community websites, how to manage group permissions without killing performance, and other geeking stuff that there, and it reminded me how much I miss our weekly geek night – where we all went out and ate japanese curry while discussing cool project ideas and this weeks Torrez excuse for not showing up. Of course, everybody else actually ACTED on their cool project ideas and got bought up by Yahoo or Google or whatever, and I’m still here… curryless and alone. I miss disreputable playboy and gadabout Andy Baio and his socially lubricating ways!

Of course, the problem is, I’m not a gamer, either. Still, The idea of marrying geek obsession with real-world need is incredibly appealing. Maybe if I could skin my Outlook to resemble Moveable Type (actually, I should just skin my blog to look like Outlook, and reverse engineer my brain…), I’d be better at calendaring and other CRM’my aspects of my job. Today I’m doing a bit of Social Networking – that is, I’m calling clients to touch base and ensure that they’re doing well. There is no reason that I shouldn’t actually LOOK FORWARD to that job, right? I mean, I’m blogging about it in the database, and that’s at least as interesting as blogging about what I had for breakfast (GR 4x NF Latte) or my plans for the evening (Storage Unit!).

The bottom line, here, is that I’m really not very bright, so I should be able to con myself into thinking that I’m slacking, when in fact I am actually working.

Starting…. NOW.

Rest in Peace, Emma
