Ramblins from the two wheelin' fool
I’ve been an iPhone user for about 2 1/2 years now and I have to finally say I’m a convert. One experience however that I don’t enjoy on the iPhone is typing. I don’t find that the capacitive keyboard is near as good as the mechanical counterpart. Nuance came out with the Dragon app that [...]

Earlier in the week I was up in the city taking photos of the Bay Bridge at sunrise. People were talking about this so-called quote “super moon” this weekend.

Easter morning brings about an interesting tradition amongst Bay Area motorcyclists. Depending on the weather anywhere from a few to a few hundred motorcycles gather at the top of Mount Tamalpias to see the sunrise. My first time at the event was in 2008 when the weather was good. Last year there was a big [...]

I’d had the Daffodil hill run on the calendar since March 17th, then the 24th, then the 31st. Finally April 1st was showing some promise. The skies were supposed to be clear, even though some rain was coming through the day before. Sunday morning came and it was COLD (for April). The weather at Daffodil [...]
Read More...I’ve been using a Mac now at work for just about all of my activities. We have a fair number of UNIX hosts that I need to work with and I’ve heard you can log in without a password but have never been able to get it to work right. I’ve now found a solution! [...]
