Bike-Riding-Related Nonsense
On my way to work, I managed to pop my bike’s chain out of both the front and rear gears. (Not simultaneously, though that would have been quite the feat.) I managed to “fix” both issues without any tools, specialized or otherwise. Believe me when I say that this is quite an accomplishment for me.
By my reckoning, I’m three gear repairs, two break-shoe replacements, and...

Back to the Beginning Possibilities for Friday,...
After a week off to recoup and recharge, it’s time once again to elicit your help in picking this week’s featured band for my weekly feature at PopBunker.net.
In case you’re unfamiliar, I write a weekly feature called Back to the Beginning, where I compare an established band’s latest offering with their debut album. Here are some past articles.
This week’s choices are:

And yet despite the terminal condition of a socio-economic superstructure hurtling towards the edge of a cliff while wondering if it even has enough gas to get there, the market rolls on, plundering the public coffers and starving the arts and education, producing a society that is spiritually malnourished but not sensitive enough to ask why. Meanwhile, we have dissonant messages relentlessly...

I was reading about the Republican senator who crossed party lines to vote pro-gay marriage in New York and how he told naysayers, “Well, f—- it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come…

I didn’t watch the game; I opted for Top Chef Masters and Game of Thrones OnDemand. Seeing the final score showed me a blow-out, though.
I’m not, by any stretch of the imagination, a Boston Bruins fan. Growing up in the northeast, you pick your hockey team (if that’s your sport) and learn to hate any other team in that immediate area. Through a moderately convoluted series of...

Based on Infinite Apple’s info, Apple seems to be using Azure’s BLOB (binary large object) storage, which is part of the Windows Azure core. However, the Windows Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) is integrated directly with Azure’s storage services.
Apple’s iCloud is still in beta, and Apple is just in the process of turning on its much-touted $500 million North Carolina data center. Apple’s...

In his ruling, Superior Court Judge Louis Locascio wrote that the courts “are now being faced with the task of evaluating a virtually limitless number of people who claim to be ‘reporting’ on issues, but who are, many times, doing little more than shouting from a digital soap box.”

And, during the course of an extremely geeky conversation, it was suggested that Tumblr really needs a “Fuck Yeah! Slide Rules!” site.
Anyone want in on this? I’m willing to set this up. (Which will, of course, take all of 1.3573 seconds, but still.)
