I’ve been scanning in things like crazy with vuescan and now its time to organize. I do the dumb thing and just put things in folders organized by year, then month then date. So that way I can never lose the information as I do with iPhoto all the time…

Well time to get back to bicycling. Don’t really want to buy a $10,000 bike, but some cool gear makes sense. Most of the advances in the last few years have been in electronics. Now there is a standard called ANT+ that lets different wireless devices talk to each other.…
