photo test

Okay folks, I’ve been messing around with trying to get images onto the site ever since I switched to Wordpress. Guess what? You can obviously see that I’ve figured it out, thanks in part to Mr Whitfield and his immense intellect. He also showed me how to bypass some additional lines of [...]



music vs. lack thereof

Mar 19th, 2007 | By chewy

This week I’m working out at Microsoft with Dean doing tuneups on MS employee’s’’s’s bikes. Last night Dean sends me a txt msg saying something like, “Get ready for a bonkers week and bring your iPod.” By Dean’s own admission, he has a pretty mainstream selection of tunes on his mp3 player, so [...]



I just changed/updated posting criteria

Mar 19th, 2007 | By chewy

As I learn the ins and outs of Wordpress’s’’s’’s’s’s’ss’ protocols, I realize that I must change the controls that are in place concerning the overall look and feel of the site. I left the rules in place that in order to post a comment, you must have your own website and provide the URL. [...]



i almost forgot the funniest shit ever

Mar 19th, 2007 | By chewy

I posted a couple days ago about playing old school video games with Whitfield and his kids. Dave and I were letting Alex and Tyson play Gauntlet when the funniest thing happened. The kids are playing and Gauntlet is a game where your character can throw projectiles at the enemy characters, so at [...]



homework assignment

Hey folks,
I have a friend who can’t spell for shit. He actually CAN spell, but his brain is always running at a billion miles an hour and I think he gets ahead of himself and the spelling errors pop up from time to time. Like any time he spells.
So look to the right [...]



video games

Mar 17th, 2007 | By chewy

I was born at just the right time.  I was at the perfect age when video games first came out that I was completely enthralled by them and I’ve been hooked ever since.  I also have been able to watch them grow and become more complex and quite realistic over the years.  However, as with [...]



new site poses a couple minor problems

Mar 17th, 2007 | By chewy

I’ve switched from writing all my own HTML code to using a service that does it all for me for free.  I now manipulate the look using an extremely simple interface and all is wonderful.
Mostly…
There have been a few casualties.  I had a couple ’secret’ sites that I’d been piggy-backing onto my main site for [...]

I’ve switched bike shops

After two years at Velo Bike Shop on Capitol Hill, I’ve jumped ship and started working for Pedal Dynamics in the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle.  The two years at Velo were a lot of fun and the folks there are completely wonderful people to hang out with and work with.  However, Pedal Dynamics is a [...]



new look is in place

Mar 13th, 2007 | By chewy

Okay, here we are. I’m noticing some weirdness regarding the old site showing up when it should be the new site, but I’ll erase my browser’s cache and maybe that will take care of that.
So the site has a new look. If you’re into that sort of thing, you’ll notice that there are [...]



email is wonderful

Mar 10th, 2007 | By chewy

I got this from a friend of mine last Friday. I laughed so hard, I almost shit my pants. Come to think of it…how perfect is that?
“So my day started with a late breakfast of two 8″ flapjacks, two eggs (OE), and two sausage links, with a cup o’ joe. Dropped momma [...]
