  • Trice XL – On Order!

    Well the deposit has gone in, and the ETA is sometime in March: All of the Trice models have good handling characteristics but the XL is superb and really must be experienced. The XL is super-stable because of its relatively low seat height and the result is a Trice, which is fast in a straight…

  • More Daily Show, plus Rick Steves and American Liberals

    Further to my recent posting about The Daily Show arriving in the UK, I just got off AIM with a widely-travelled American friend who took me slightly to task: (Notes in [brackets], mildly edited for clarity/grammar/speeling) Him: I think you’re missing something about “The Daily Show“ Me: Hmm?

  • Yet More E-Mail Received

    I wonder if Schneier also gets these things. Nah, he probably gets Mafiosi who want to break into banks. Perhaps I am blessed to only have to deal with… well, the attached. People: be sympathetic to me, and to Alejandra. Once you too were that young and tiny nitpicky interpersonal things were your entire universe.…

  • Banksy appeals to teenage angst?

  • Woogle Unwise?

    On the advice of a SunBlogger, I went to Woogle at [www.gujian.net] and fed the phrase “love is blind” into it. The results are/were unspeakable.
