Pirate Postings on Pop Culture and Scurvy

Random sputterings on travel, midgets, too much salt water, and of course scurvy. Yarr.

Yes, all Shimano road and mountain bike component groups are fully compatible with their line of high-end fishing components. And while that may not mean anything to you, it means the world to the many competitors and fans of the cycling/fishing/sulking triathlons that are so popular in the fjords of Norway.

Bike Snob NYC weighs in on why Shimano bike components are better than Campagnolo.

Fake Steve Jobs and “The Obama Maneuver”

The one big mistake that other companies make is they start showing review copies of the product long before its available. And they try to get as many reviews as possible. They think theyre going to drum up loads of buzz. Huge mistake. Our biggest trick -- and its not ...

Man wants to change Mt. Diablo’s name

I was pointed to an article by my friend Wangzang about how some ultrareligious wierdo in Oakley wants to change the name of Mt. Diablo. An Oakley man has applied to the federal government to rename Mount Diablo, saying the name offends his religious sensibilities because it is Spanish for "devil." Art ...

Entropy Abatement: A Haiku

Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. A touching poem I learned from an old boss of mine back in my college days - the same one that taught me the phrase "Entropy Abatement Reboot" to describe rebooting a system that had been up and running too long and was ...

The Burning Monkey Homepage Memorial

Way back in the deep dark depths of time, there existed a webpage hosted by some kid at Cal called the Burning Monkey homepage. It basically consisted of a story about a guy with a bunch of charred monkeys, and provided me and my college roommates with hours of amusement. ...

you were wrong cabinet sanchez

A webcomic based on spam email subject lines... absolutely hilarious. Disdain for the Insane Clown Posse AND all of his millionaires have Monocles and Top-Hats. Saucy!

Los coche de otra galaxia.

Tuners are lame. Minivan tuners are even lamer. Japanese minivan tuners obsessed with J-Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki are absolutely lol-tastic. MasaManiA has an entry devoted to tuner minivans that look like the results of your old Transformers toys and your Great Aunt Myrtle's collection of Precious Moments Figurines having a gang ...

I’m now a poster child for the “one less car” movement.

Sadly, it's not intentional. I went to Palm Springs with my roommates to go climb Mt. San Jacinto, and we got lost. While being tourists and pulling a stupid U-turn, I got hit. 3877338748 The silver lining to this all is that the total value of the vehicle per the insurance company's ...

Finally got a timing belt done

Had fun changing my timing belt on the Audi this weekend. It's amazingly easy to do once you get the front of the car removed. The front bumper, radiator, A/C condenser, and the radiator support just swing out of the way, and you have easy access to the front of ...

Cyclists: The Two-Wheeled Menace

Is it fair that cyclists should be allowed on the road? Cyclists argue that their vehicles are “energy efficient” and that we should all abandon our trucks and start cycling. This hilarious wingnut proposal sounds like something from an Al Gore eco-terror movie. Why should we Americans sacrifice our way ...
