Why are you still running Windows? Of course, if you get a Mac, it would be like, "You just threw up in the
punch bowl we all share and now you expect us to believe it's Alphabet
Soup?" Like, when, you know, the aging hipster says, "I like their
older stuff better," in reference to U2 or REM. He just wants you to
get off their bandwagon.http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/

Here's an interesting read about making your neighborhood Borders or B&N
into your own personal library. Specifically, the author calls out the
people lolly-gagging about the manga aisle.I usually spend a lot of time in a bookstore. I confess to doing this
on occasion, but only for the satisfaction of finding an interesting
book. I am guilty at buying books that I don't read. Just not for
manga.http://animealmanac.com/2008/02/27/manga-hobos-japanese-culture-meets-american-laziness/

Today we’re gonna visit the godfather of Japanese manga and anime, Tezuka Osamu. He did Astro Boy and for people my age, he also did what was called in America, Simba the White Lion.
Bring the funk
Took the new steed out for a ride on the NCR trail yesterday morning. That’s why I got it for. To be a more rugged bike for riding the NCR or other bike trails around the area (BWI or Annapolis).
Things to know about this bike. It’s a single speed and can be set to fixed gear. One gear. To go faster I have to pedal faster. To go up hills I have to grind them. It’s weird, but I hope that it will help develop some leg speed and some strength.
So, the NCR is flat. I did 26 miles. And I wasn’t even winded. Legs weren’t jelly for this early in the season. I have to thank my work outs for that. At first it felt too easy on the ride, but I targeted a 15mph speed. Didn’t get there because I had to slow down some.
It was somewhat cold also in the morning. I had to go back and get my jacket from the car. It warmed up around 10. Lots of people started showing up and the trail head was packed.
I think I can do this to PA and back. Next time, I’ll go out longer. Earlier. Faster.

Official website for the official BrowserMetrics Japanes baseball team, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Just the idea of a carp being a good team symbol/mascot is funny. Look at the other teams in the Nippon Professional Baseball league and they’re all birds or something fierce. They swoop down and eat carp from the pond. Is it any wonder that they are stuck to the bottom of the standings?
