Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

i'm full time, but as long as I get my **** done and be present for bi-weekly meetings, I can come and go as I please, at all hours of the night or on the weekend if I wish. If it takes me 44 hours to get all of my **** done or if I start drinking beer and chilling with only a 36 hour week, no one cares around here. I enter the exact same time online everyday.

Yeah, I do 9-5, but my commute to SF from SJ is like an hour long train ride with weird schedules. So I really do more of a 7-7 day. On salary too so sometimes I'll be at the office late. I'm thinking of just getting off at different stops to ride part of the way home or something.

Yea I couldn't find anything either. Everyone always asks me if I made it, and they're always surprised when I tell them some company actually produced them.

Last night, I finished two papers for two different classes. Marketing exam tonight, which should be a joke. Its shortsleeve weather outside right now, so I'm hoping I can catch a ride tonight.

I'm also giving my friend a bike that's too big for me. It's his first road bike; an old geared Shogun. I told him $150 and pay me back whenever, it whatever incremental amounts. He was reluctant at first, but finally came to. Makes me feel good though. It shows he actually plans on paying me back.

Yummy can probably make it steam punk by raiding the pluming section of his home depot; the closest steam punk thing I have is my mechanical switch keyboard.

Today I: had awesome lunch, discussed some business stuff, got a set of drops (goodbye bullhorns), a new stem, some tape, and test rode a couple bikes. 2011 60cm Cannondale Capo, and 2011 61cm Specialized S-Worksj Langster. I am in love with them both, but I think I prefer the Capo. Tonight, put new stuff on the bike, drink good beers, spend time with the lady, and mourn the end of my mini-vacation.

Lenovo ThinkPad x120e if you just need something for carrying around and surfing the tubes.

Slap a SSD and 8gb of RAM in that *****, ****'s good to go.

Install a linux distro, too, so you can look like a hacker.
