I just ran across this blog post that nicely demonstrates why concealed carry is a good thing:
I became vaguely aware of two scruffy young men behind us as I stopped to look for traffic in preparation of entering the parking lot. They stayed behind us, rather than coming alongside.
I handed Little Darling her bag and [...]
Can something be so brilliant, and so wrong, at the same time? Yes.
Behold: the Hello Kitty AR-15. It’s even California-legal! I’m not sure what else to say…
I recently test-drove the 2008 Honda Accord as a possible replacement for my BMW 3-series.
Question: Why replace a sweet-handling 3-series with a plain old Accord?
Answer 1: When I want to have fun, I hop on the motorcycle. Don’t get me wrong, a BMW is fun to drive. But a motorcycle is more fun than [...]
Today I would like to discuss a pet peeve of mine: the confusion of the words loose and lose. I see this all the time on the Internet, and it drives me crazy.
First, the definitions:
Loose
Adj:
Free from restraint. A loose dog roaming the street.
Not fitting tightly. Loose clothing.
Not bundled together. Wearing your hair loose. Loose computer [...]
I saw this headline today:
U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people
Reuters – 37 minutes ago
GENEVA (Reuters) – The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said.

Of [...]
I added a handlebar mirror to my bicycle, and today was my first day riding with it. I have to say that I’m not too happy with it.
The image is only clear when I’m riding on perfectly smooth pavement
I can’t lean the bike against a wall on the left side anymore because of the mirror
I [...]
California Blvd, between Palm St and Phillips Ln, is one of the steepest hills in San Luis Obispo. (Map here.) I climbed this hill today on my bicycle for the first time. I was fairly winded when I got to the top, but it wasn’t so bad that I had to stop. This is quite [...]
I went to visit Moleskinerie today, and found a GoDaddy “parked” page in its place. WTF?
Update: Apparently a large power outage in San Francisco has knocked out a major data center. Other websites, including Craigslist and NetFlix, are also down.
I did a fair amount of riding around town on Monday (rode to the power company as well as work). On Tuesday, I rode to the gym for the first time. At the gym, I played basketball for the first time in a year. I then rode to work, and later rode home.
On Wednesday morning [...]
I rode my new bicycle to work for the first time today. While riding down my street, a cager almost struck me while backing out of his driveway; he only stopped after I yelled “WHOA!” at him several times. I think for commuting in town, I’m going to need an airhorn; this one looks promising. [...]
