I ran in the Air Zoom Vapor Plus yesterday for the first time, and I liked the feel of the Caged Air Zoom cushioning in the heel. I was a little concerned since I’ve always like the ride of the full length air cushioning in the Nike Air Skylon, and the cushioning of the [...]

Two things after watching the Larry King Show with Lance Armstrong regarding the recent allegations of 1999 urine samples testing positive for EPO.

My brother and I purchased four (limit two to a customer) 5 port Airlink Gigabit switches yesterday for only $19.99 at Fry’s. I’m just amazed you can get a Gigabit switch for under $20 these days.

I bought some Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 pedals, and the pedals are a lot smaller and lighter than the red Look pedals I purchased 10 years ago. The axle bearings seem to very smooth, and I’m looking forward to receiving my Shimano R-215 shoes to use with the pedals. I keep putting off putting on the [...]

My sense of illusion was lost when a old Huey picked up the soldier who had just lost his leg from an IED at the end of the pilot episode of Over There. The pickup would have been with a Blackhawk, not a Huey, but perhaps the budget isn’t big enough or there are no [...]
