15min of fame for 40min of awkwardness. Made it all the way to Reuters. They even stalked my LinkedIn to make sure I actually worked here, unlike that protester who faked being a Google employee to try and go viral. ******.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm totally gonna take a picture of my finger toes tomorrow morning.

How does someone in Kansas know what your toes look like?

Today I smashed my calculus final. So glad to be finished with school for the semester! Also beginning to plan for riding the Trans America Trail on my enduro. 5,200 miles of off-road goodness!

How does a man in Florida ask a Californian he's never met how a guy in Kansas knows what his toes look like?


Internet.

Wait - you complied with protesters demands to see your proof of identification? (in this case, proof of employment) On what authority were they asking for you to do this? I don't have a beef with you but if it were me I don't know how I would have reacted to some unidentified stranger demanding I identify myself. **** would have been more than just awkward.

The news outlets wanted to confirm that he was a Google employee to vet the picture. The protesters were not asking for his ID.

While that makes more sense the same question applies: on what authority are you (the media) demanding to see my identification? Sure you want to vet your pic and all, but seriously if you don't believe me when I tell you where I work, don't use the photo. It's that simple.

Muffin Man 12-11-13 02:46 PM

I haven't ridden in weeks. It hasn't been above freezing for a week now, and I can't deal with this cold. I wish I brought my rollers to college.

Responsible media checks its sources.

I don't think they asked him for ID. They clicked on Instagram pic. Clicked on Insta profile. Then cruised his LinkedIn on their own.

I imagine they contacted him for rights to run pic at some point. Unless Instagram is public domain by default, I dunno cuz I don't use it.

Rain is my favorite winter weather, warm(er) and no one to get in your way. Today was super sketch coming into work, about half the way was black ice. Only went down once on a left handed turn but landed on ice and slid like ten feet it was hilarious.

Dannihilator 12-11-13 07:56 PM

Today I got out on the road after two days of riding on the trainer.

That's not a road, that's a single track. :)

Dannihilator 12-11-13 08:06 PM

Nope, definitely a road. Old area, roads are narrow.

GuitarBob 12-11-13 08:12 PM

Yep, I was just kidding. I spent a few of my formative years not all that far away in Hopatcong.

My sense of humor is broken this evening, been a long day had to hurry home to change a flat on my mother's car since my father isn't physically able to, and the wheel was corroded to the hub.

Hopatcong is a fun place to ride through.

GuitarBob 12-11-13 08:37 PM

No worries. And sorry about the wheel. That is one of the nice things about Tucson, though, almost nothing rusts!

Just to get things back on track thread-wise, today I bought a new stem!

Dannihilator 12-11-13 08:37 PM

What stem?

Dannihilator 12-11-13 08:47 PM

I did order a rear wheel to use as a trainer wheel, was getting sick of changing tires everytime. Also ordered a cog and lock ring as well.
