rhymes with milk

Holy shit! Our microwave just caught on fire! Now how am I supposed to cook my hot pocket?

It was only a few weeks ago that the truck caught on fire when I started it. I haven’t been having very good luck with these sorts of things.

Two awesome things blew my mind today.

1. Cyclemeter, the iphone app, is awesome. Tangent: I’ve been opposed to buying apps since I got my phone. I think I realized why recently. The money isn’t paying for anything tangible. I’m not even getting a disk with the software installation on it. I rarely pay for anything I download, so the concept is foreign to me. But I’ve recently realized the irrationality in that. If I get use out of the app, it’s worth paying for. I buy myself lunch at least once per week, and after tip I rarely pay less than $10. This Cyclemeter GPS tracking app is incredible, robust, simple, and useful, and it only cost half as much as my weekly lunch. The question of whether or not it’s a worthy puchase is a no-brainer, and I now see that.
2. The Google Earth browser plugin is awesome. I’ve never seen much point in having a separate application on my computer for what I can basically already do online, but now I can actually do it online. The fact that I can now see the Taco Bell at Baseline and Broadway in 3D — all in browser — is priceless.

It’s pretty cool seeing the correlation between elevation gains and speed changes. Sometimes the speed seems to inexplicably swing without reason, but over a longish ride like this, a lot of data has to be crunched into a very small space. Naturally, some of the info gets lost in translation.

Still raining. Dustin and I tried to get in a round of frolf, but the rain proved to be too…wet.

Too damn rainy.

Had some seitan wings at City o’ City. I want more in my mouth right now.

Good times chatting and drinking with Scott, Mark, Kate, and Chris.

Not such good times riding on the bus with stupid frat bros.
