15 miles at Annadell with 1500 feet of climbing, mostly on rocky singletrack. Phew. In-n-Out burger to the rescue.
January 2009
Heading to Annadel to go mountain biking this morning with @harperbikebeer. Not sure I’m in shape for it. This ride may harm my body.
I’ve said it before but these gorgeous sunny winter days are weirding me out. I’m getting a tan through my office window right now. Free-key
Google van kills sweet, innocent, helpless, cute deer. Who’s evil now, baby? http://bit.ly/1BRHDR Also: that deer looks delicious
By (not very) popular demand, I published my Bay to Breakers training guide in handy single page blog form: http://bit.ly/jukh
The East Coast-West Coast Internet Rivalry
topherchris:
Let the line be drawn: I represent the East Coast both in geography and spirit, along with all the fine people of New York and of course, Tumblr HQ. In this scenario, I suppose that means Bad Boy Records could be Tumblr, Inc. So, some Eastside heavies would be Tumblr, Connected Ventures (College Humor), IAC (Vimeo, 592 others), muxtape, iminlikewithyou, Huffington Post, NonSoceity,...
Such a weird hazy sunrise today in San Francisco. Doesn’t look like fog. Is that pollution?
Step One: Six weeks before the race, start running a little bit every other day. Begin with a mile or two and increase your milage #b2bplan
Wait… Active.com is selling a $25 TRAINING PLAN for the Bay to Breakers‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ ‽ ‽ ‽ Stay tuned, and I’ll provide one for free. #b2bplan
Step six: At about 8 am, pile into a taxicab with several strangers, and ask to be taken downtown. It does not matter where #b2bplan
Step seven: Scarf down a bunch of tortillas you find on the pavement #b2bplan
Step five: Snort some meth. If no meth is available, try ecstasy. LSD will do in a pinch. Avoid cocaine, as it is a diuretic. #b2bplan
Step three: On the night before the race, go to a bar with 25 of your closest friends. Lie, and claim it is your birthday #b2bplan
Step four: Continue drinking until approximately 5 am race day #b2bplan
Step two: Learn to shotgun a beer. To do this you will need a housekey. And a beer. #b2bplan
Step eleven: When you get to the top of Alamo Square, run into the bushes to vomit and/or pee. #b2bplan
Step twelve: Wander into a house party on Fell Street. WARNING: this could be your last chance for beer! #b2bplan
Step thirteen: As you pass under the bridge in Golden Gate Park, take a moment to reflect on all your many blessings. Puke again. #b2bplan
Step ten: Take off all your clothes and begin heading West. #b2bplan
Step nine: Once the race has begun, shotgun a beer or two (this is when all your training pays off!) #b2bplan
Step eight: Make out with some old naked dude while your friends take photos. #b2bplan
Step fifteen: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU MADE IT!!!!! #b2bplan
Well… I’m guessing I just shed a hundred or so Twitter followers after that. But I hope it was helpful to the rest of you.
Step fourteen: Wake up naked, cold, dehydrated and confused at Ocean Beach late Sunday evening. #b2bplan
Only douchebags still use the word douchebag, douchebag.
When it is easier to mark your message as spam than to unsubscribe from your bullshit mailing list, which do you think I’m going to do?
Great. Something in my big bin of triathlon gear smells like a dead, wet orangutan. Isolating this isn’t going to be easy or pleasant.
If I want something for the Mac that’s kinda like photoshop but trés lightweight and inexpensive, what do I want?
The thing I don’t get about Richard Alpert isn’t why he never ages, it’s how he gets all that Maybelene eyeliner on the island over time
RT @timoreilly URL for post by @steffantonos about evolution of the retweet (GREAT post) is http://twurl.nl/y4s1c2
Lou Dobbs is such a pretentious old fascist. What’s he compensating for? I bet he fellates tomcats.
Oh joy. There’s a new pot club opening on Divisadero at Fell. Phew. It would be tragic if you had to walk a full city block to get your weed
Just absent-mindedly went to favorite a tweet at the cafe, forgetting about the fart noises “enhanced” Tweetie makes. Embarrasing!
Whoa. Just read this shocking post from @techcrunch Death threats? Spat upon? Fucked up. Good luck with the time off Mike http://bit.ly/q2Ms
RT @brittneyg “Due to economy in the crapper, Haight Street shop kitty is out of a job: http://tinyurl.com/h8stsadcat” I love that cat :(
Heading out to meet @joeljohnson for beers and a gadget-off. Loser has to use a Zune.
Now look what you did. All you guys making fancy with your big Kindle 2 talk today, and then John Updike dies. See the pattern?
Still not giving a fuck about ebook readers. Kindle 2, 3, 4, or whatever. I still enjoy paper too much, and neighborhood bookstores.

OH: “RIP Rosalyn Carter?!? ” “What!?! Oh, no, no. Don’t worry. That’s just Mike. He only lies.”
How the hummingbird cam works. Engineering, FTW: http://twitpic.com/17lzg
Shoot. Because Chase bought WaMu, my credit score won’t be in my statement anymore. Only reason I kept the card. Chase sucks; account closed
Just signed up with PacWest’s Masters Swim program: http://bit.ly/1CQ5 So far I’m doing well on my new year’s resolutions. And you?
The hummingbird cam is back up today (though no birds at the moment, be patient): http://www.ustream.tv/channel/emptyage
