ouch. sucks. i think i was riding into that wind on the way to work, but hey, bonus, it was a tailwind on the way home. i looked at my ride on mapmyride and as soon as i turned with the wind to my back (vs. at 90 deg, side-on) speed jumped up like 5 mph.

At my pace, I'll be bald before I go grey. Started losing hair in 9th grade.

I went to school with a dude that got a round patch of grey hair @ about 16 YO. It was pretty cool.

Hook that up to comp, hook comp up to TV?

I LOL'd hard. Just because it's an apple computer doesn't mean you have to buy an apple made accessory. Any non-Apple external would also work just as well, if not most likely better; you can probably get a non - apple blue ray r/w external for that price. ;)

Kid I had a class with has that, right on the side of his head. Little bigger than a $.50 piece. My hairline has been receding since I was like 15. My hair, and everyone's hair in my family, is brown. In my beard, I have a whole mess of red hairs, and on one end of my mustache, one hair that is stark white and incredibly thick.

Dafuq, genes.

Dude... that's friggin awesome.

Today I did intervals and one leg drills on the trainer.

What a miserable ass time.

Also, it's funny to see how sloppy the 12 o'clock of each leg's pedal stroke is.

How does that work? Puerto Rican parents had you in Costa Rica and then you immigrated to the United States?

Just got done spending about 4 months in Costa Rica. What a beautiful country and friendly people.

I took it to mean one parent was Puerto Rican, and the other was Costa Rican.

I might be staying over there for a few weeks in the summer. My Grandma (CR side) always talks about how nice it is.

First Google link. I don't do Macs. I have one iPad and I don't even like it. I also haven't watched a DVD in a few years.

Don't worry about it. ;)

I was just trying to convey that many people misconceptualize this and apple happens to capitalize big time.

TIL: I want my other bikes. Visiting home next month, and I swear a vow of truthiness I will not come back to LA without at least one biek.

GENESTARWIND 01-31-13 04:15 AM

So dope, congrats! What do you play? I minored in trumpet in college.

Today was my first ride to work of the year. I've been sick on and off since Christmas and after successfully installing new Paselas on the geared biek (thanks Scrod!), I couldn't wait. But man, dat wind. I literally got blown to a standstill. Pause.

misskaz 01-31-13 09:56 AM

You dudes are hilarious with trying to solve my mac mini dilemma. My entire twitter feed last night was the same thing and then my boyfriend (who is an Expert at an Apple Store) basically insisted that he's gonna buy me an Apple TV tomorrow. And I'm gonna borrow a PS2 from him or another friend for DVD playing. Plus I get to play Katamari Damacy, so win-win!

GENESTARWIND 01-31-13 09:58 AM

i really really want it to be tuesday so i can have my bike parts :(
