Today I:
Today i made this little thang

^please tell me its attached with pieces from an erector set!
today i did this and determined that i hate brakes (my only experience being with caliper brakes), i dont have the patience to adjust them and get them to bite evenly
that being said, im seriously debating riding this thing to work tomorrow, risers are kindof fun in a not-so-srs way

I know the feeling. I worked at an Apple store the day the first iPhone launched. There was a line around the mall. 1 hour before closing, everyone had been served. Everyone left with an iPhone. I was amazed. A customer could have showed up at 8:30PM walked right to the counter and bought an iPhone, no line, no wait.
and a lot of what you guys said is true i just wont repeat it. RGNY said it best you have to always be looking over your shoulder.

Took three hours and fabricated a swing bike out of garbage Next Mtb and a huffy. Guessed geometry and came out almost impossible, yet fun to ride.

Had NO problem picking up an iPhone 5 today.
I know, right? Pretty lame. Hopefully there'll be lots and lots of app updates soon. LTE is pretty sweet though. I'm on Verizon and d/l's are at least twice as fast for me as they were on 3G. I can actually use iTunes match w/o a wifi connection now. And I was able to keep my $30/month unlimited data plan (for now, at least).
...am dialing in cantis, dropping the carrier. "Scotty, i need more power!"
Today I got the package of swag from Retrogression for our Tiny Fix Scout Race. Thanks, Scrod!!! Love having you as a sponsor for our events. Race is in 2 weeks -- ahhh!

Just LOOK at this letterboxing!
that alone makes me not want to get an iphone 5
TIL that hats look weird on me now that I have short hair. This makes me sad. I have so many cute winter hats.

Today I did a 50 mile ride for a fundraiser and finished in 2'45". I was pretty up and down through woods and along lakes and rivers and lots of fun. Was the only person who did it fixed where most everyone else was riding nice carbon road bikes. Oh, and is my time decent comparatively? I thought I did pretty well

Something ******bag iPhone 5 owners are complaining about because they bought a phone that's been out for a day and there aren't many new apps for.
