Yuba Pass
For our San Juan hut-to-hut trip, the question still remained whether we should bring a trailer or just use panniers. Since Brian has both, we decided it would be a good idea to try each of them out to better decide. Brian and Judy did a short backpacking trip starting on Tuesday and I drove [...]
Long Training Ride Along Gazos Creek

Day Hiking in Yosemite
I left for Yosemite at 5 AM and made it there in 3.5 hours! Pretty quick drive as long as you don’t get stuck behind slow cars. First thing I did upon arriving was check into Camp 4 (walk-in only). All other campgrounds that take reservations were completely full, so I was hoping that Camp [...]
Tahoe Rim Trail
One of the things that we need to decide for our San Juan hut-to-hut trip is whether to use a trailer to bring our gear or to use panniers (basically bags that hang off the sides of the bike). Since Brian has both, we decided the best thing to do would be to simply try [...]
$19.95 DSL!
SBC has been advertising a DSL special in which you get their basic DSL service for only $14.95/mo with a one year commitment. I was paying double that, $29.95/mo so I decided to call them up and see what they could do for me. I knew that the $14.95 promo was for new customers only, [...]
Gazos Creek (Big Basin)
We returned to Big Basin State Park today to ride the Gazos Creek trail. After getting lost the last time, we knew the trail much better this time around. We decided to go the same way by riding Middle Ridge Road again rather than just doing an out-and-back along Gazos Creek Road. The steep climbs [...]
Bolinas Ridge
We returned to Bolinas Ridge today, this time in much better riding shape. Whereas last time we only rode 9 miles or so, this time we did the full out-and-back which ended up being around 22.6 miles. The scenery wasn’t as green as it was just a few weeks ago, but we got to ride [...]
iMac Memory Upgrade
Prior to just a few months ago, the iMac line came standard with a paltry 256MB of RAM. With OS X having the voracious appetite for RAM that it does, this was laughable as 256MB simply isn’t enough to run OS X effectively. 512MB is really the minimum needed for OS X. Although my iMac [...]
Bike Hooks
We currently have three bikes and although there is space for them in the garage, we don’t have a good way to store them and so they end up taking up a lot of space. Since our garage is pretty small to start with, this make it difficult to park a car in the garage. [...]
