I used a Mac for a graphics class, they're bearable. Just prefer windows.

Was born to academics, been using macs solid since the 512k in 1985. I have that same weird feeling with PCs despite being a tech for a couple years there.

I love Macs. Those mighty mice suck balls, tho. Actually every Apple mouse ever made sucks.

Just gotta remember cmd instead of ctrl and I'm golden on Macs.

As an old man I had to adjust to Mac OS1 after years of DOS and similar OSes. That drove me nuts. I would scream at the damn machine to just let me type in DIR, or something!

Then a couple years later got on Win 3.11 and that was even crappier, although it still had the DOS stuff.

Put on my new VeloSolo 17T cog today. Nice piece! Pretty gold anodizing. My LBS went full gorilla on tightening the original parts, tho, so had to rotafix to get the old cog off.

Get everything tightened up, go out for a ride. Holy **** i'm flying, these guys were right about a bigger cog being faster cos you spin better... then i turned around. Tailwind became headwind. Still feels better 1T bigger up hills tho.

Then I tried a skid, sickening YARP from the cog against the (loose, after i rode on it) lockring and no skid. Sprint to tighten, coast, retighten.

last night i rode 17 miles to my buddies house but goddamn it was a hard ride, the last 7 or so miles where all uphill. today my legs are actually a tiny bit sore! been quite awhile since a ride has done that to me and i average over 30 miles a day usually.

worst design ever. Cool for about a day.

The new BT cordless mouse is nice. Touch sensitive and nice shape.
Only thing is it eats batteries fairly fast if you work a lot.

ddeadserious 12-11-12 11:14 AM

I love my Magic Mouse. I previously swore by Razer gaming mice for design work, but the Magic Mouse has all the sensitivity, plus all the neat touch features. Rechargeable batteries are a must though.

Mumonkan 12-11-12 11:30 AM

The only thing i like about the mighty mice is the little scroll ball, those should be on every mouse, and about twice the size

The thing i hate most about them is the way the left and right click arent seperated, it drives me nuts

LesterOfPuppets 12-11-12 11:31 AM

Those things tickle my finger. Hate them. Tilt scroll wheel on my G5 rules the universe.

cruiserhead 12-11-12 11:38 AM

Magic mouse = awesome
Mighty mouse = sucks (little ball clogs and slips)

Wendell F 12-11-12 12:20 PM

Magic Trackpad for the HTPC.
15-year-old MS Scroll wheel mouse for the desktop. Never seen any use for more bells and whistles.

zoltani 12-11-12 02:21 PM

Headed to vegas for christmas and today I found out there are some people there that are willing to take us out climbing at red rocks next friday....very excited. If possible we might also try to rent some road bikes and ride around there a bit.

Sixty Fiver 12-11-12 03:39 PM

Today I got to test the car's new Hakkapaliitas in the slush, snow, and ice and would say it hooks up nearly as well as my bike does in this kind of weather... :)

Being that I had fired up the car I ran some longer errands and picked up a new winter / work jacket as synthetics don't work too well when you spend your day with a torch in your hand... there is nothing like canvas for that unless you need some Nomex.

Nagrom_ 12-11-12 05:23 PM

Today I repaired my old bike.

TMonk 12-11-12 05:31 PM

today i hit the road at 5:45 for 3 hrs before work

stayed steady and kept the tiger under the hood, even though I had more energy.
tomorrow should be another 3, then another 3hrs on thursday...

aiming for 4 hrs each on sat/sun. if i complete this week i will absolutely deserve the rest week I have planned next week...

IthaDan 12-11-12 05:40 PM

Lazed around and watched TDF recaps on the ipad. Awesome.

Street rider 12-11-12 05:41 PM

Only one exam tomorrow at noon, and then I'm headed home for a week or so. Stoked. Also just ran in to some girl I was talking to at a party/dancing with at a club on Friday, and she was as cute as I drunkenly remembered. Score!

Nagrom_ 12-11-12 06:29 PM

Today I also upgraded the sqrl's laptop to a TB hard drive and 8gb of ram.

She's happy.

Mumonkan 12-11-12 06:37 PM

today i cleaned the mud thats been stuck to my bike for a week in preparation for an am ride tomorrow @ 6

noticed that one side of my aquarack came loose at the back plate in reference to Jandros' experience

blue loctite'd the **** out of that thing.

Dannihilator 12-11-12 06:59 PM

Today I got new bars and had a productive ride on the dmr. I think I have finally gotten it to feel just right.

Nagrom_ 12-11-12 08:20 PM

The bat bike is officially out of my hands again.

I hope I will never see it again.

Leukybear 12-11-12 08:46 PM

Today I received my 2nd catlike whisper and I'm sad to report that they cheaped out on me by not including the travel case that they did with my first one. :notamused:

On another note, those HOLEZ!
