Lance Armstrong is going to race in the 2009 edition of Le Tour. It’s time to get ready for the showdown, when the past meets the present and the future of cycling is determined. It’s going to be exciting.

I want to be there, but on my bike.

Here’s a little tour that you can do which will follow the Tour around. It’s pretty pricey, but very easy on the legs. You average about 50 miles per day. That’s easy! of course it could be one day of 100 miles and the next of 2 miles. Either way, it sounds like fun. Maybe I have to start getting in shape.

Whew, now that NewsRadio Quote Month is over I can go back to using
boring old titles for these posts again. Darn. Every time I do
NewsRadio Quote Month, I always think that I have run out of quotes, but
then I keep finding ones that I haven't used yet. I thought perhaps
this was its final year, but maybe we'll see it again next year.Today, we're going back in time to the year 2001. Google, in honor of
their tenth anniversary has a special site where you can search there
index as if it was the year 2001. That's the earliest index they have
on hand. Check it out. I wonder if BrowserMetrics can be found then?http://www.google.com/search2001.html(ht daringfireball.net)

So I have a few anime figures, the latest being Tabitha from Zero No Tsukaima. Don’ ask me what the hell that anime is, all I know is that I really dug the figure. I would do the cool thing and take some pictures, but I just don’t have the camera for it. You have seen my figures on my flickr account? Some of those photos aren’t so great, and the layouts are very dull. I would love to show them off in a better way.

So head on over to Happy Soda and read his figure reviews. They are very interesting, because each review has an intro story that seems to capture the mood of the figure. Then he photographs them awesomely. Someone get me my camera!

The Republicans mean to wreck the country. It is their nature. When the main cause celebre for them is that “Government cannot do anything good,” then you go about proving it. You get elected. Then you systematically dismantle everything that was working and replace it with things that sound like they work, but are really a bogus shell of activity.

Why do the American people elect these people? You wouldn’t put an arsonist in charge of the fire department, and yet, time after time, Republicans get elected and they go about ruining things. They are the ones striking the match to start the fire.
